Truly captures the nightmare of shopping during Christmas season.

[needssalt]

Wasnt expecting this level to be Christmas themed but, this sounds so BADASS!!

“I managed to escape mama bear. When trying to get to the exit, I was careless. One of her babies heard me, and awoke the others, triggering a frenzy. I hid in a small pocket in the caves, when I heard the quick litter patters of her babies coming after me, foaming at the mouth, blindly following her orders. I pity the souls in those teddys. Suffered terribly in life, and were sent here to once again be controlled, even in death. In a fleeting moment of terror, the ring lit up. The demon have moved, I moved with it. I hadn’t taken into consideration the fact that this would be one of the darkest nightmares I’ve faced, as the natural progression in this hell. Perhaps I could’ve escaped, but what good would have that done? I would’ve surely been found. But even so, perhaps I would’ve preferred that to where I am now. Darkness, god. So much. Too much. I seem to be in a mall. Ever store stocked, clothes, jewelry, everything. I would’ve bought some if it weren’t for the circumstances. But I wasn’t the only shopper. I walked on the cold hard tiled floors, when I heard a clink. Something sharp, not glass, but plastic. I stopped in my tracks. A bad decision. The creature stopped as well. I couldn’t see it, but it was close. It seemed to have notice that my footsteps weren’t just the building settling. I stood still, then, a sudden cut through the silence was made by quick tink taks of the creature walking at a fast pace. When I saw it walk into sight, my heart dropped. A cold humanoid creature. It was smooth, but had cuts and scratches, it was like a human, but all of its appendages were sharpened. No hands, legs, nor a head. It kept walking, then stopped. It turned to me, it walked towards me, wobbling towards me, clearly finding it difficult to walk without feet, just spikes. It looked at me, I don’t think it could see me. But it could sense me. My heartbeat, my bloodstream coursing through my body, my breath. It relished what I was, and walked back, leaned its head down, and charged at me. I ran out of the way and it crashed into a glass window into a store. This alerted the others. I ran, god, I didn’t think I could run that fast. But they were faster. So much faster. One behind me, another in front. When I could see them both clearly, I swerved to the side and they crashed together. They charged at each other a bit, creating mass destruction around them, yet no scratches on themselves. They eventually determined that it was just a mistake, and there was no mortal. I hid in nearby store and closed the doors. This place, these souls, they are riddled with jealousy and spite. These are the souls of people who couldn’t afford all that they wanted, consumed by hate. A hate for anyone wealthier then them, anyone who could afford more then they could. Now they wander around theses stores, encumbered in hate. Searching for anyone with more money then them to attack, trying to avenge what they didn’t have in life, surrounded by the very things that they loved so much, but were out of reach. A fitting end. I thought I was in hell before, but the flames grew brighter, and the heat is suffocating.

This has a real feeling of danger, it’s foreboding as heck! Seems like Malak is no longer playing games, he wants us annihilated!

[incorporated]

This theme is absolutely incredible, the bells ringing, the christmas themed and cold atmosphere, and the beat gives me chills! I'm so excited for this chapter.

"What's this? A shopping mall? Well, if I didn't know this was a nightmare, I'd gladly come down there and join you, but it seems like you'll have to do this shopping run on your own."
(Just a thought of what Bierce could say upon entering The Mall)

The mannequins can be terrifying in the right environment, I feel like that Glowstick is gonna be able to make that feeling a reality, Cannot wait for Chapter 5!

[LS-vk]

I still can't believe that chapter 4 just ended, and now there's already this hype for chapter 5! This game is awesome

Glowstick really said "you eating good?" While we scarf down Chapter 4 then threw the Chapter 5 OST down like a sudden dessert

I think this is our most viewed video (within a 24 hr period) ever. Show Daniel Dombrowsky some love! Be sure to take a moment to hit that like button & subscribe if you haven't already!

This theme entirely encapsulates the reason why Horror music is one of my favorite genres, its always amazing to see a horror song that isnt just creepy sounding or ambience, but is an actual song with a melody and structure, that truely gives a primal tone of dread and fear.

[Idk_________]

this seems perfect for the background music of Christmas sales and black Friday when everybody starts to fight and get trampled

[Nicoceel]

Now I'm even more excited for this level! I'm hoping to see a lot of Christmas lights and maybe a snowstorm outside the mall.

[ghostlydudeyt]

Basically here is my ranking for what each chapter is based for:
Chapter 1: Warm-up
Chapter 2: Survival and storyline
Chapter 3: Revealing secrets
Chapter 4: Survival Horror and more lore

I honestly hope Chapter 5 will be terrifying to play now because of the silence of the Mannequins.

It wouldn’t be surprising if this level was released in December.

Carol of the bells: “What the hell are you!?”
This: “Death.”

[symoniarose]

This gives me 'Abusive/Neglectful Mom left me at the mall during Christmas time, it closed, and now I'm stuck inside for the night' vibes.

[lilgukers]

I didn't expect a Christmas theme, this sounds really cool!

[mr.universe_]

So far this game has made me afraid of hotels, schools, mansions, sewers, hospitals, amusement parks and cabins in the woods and now it's going to make me scared of shopping malls
