Evaluation

Another Brick in The Mall launched in April 2020 after a lengthy Early Access period. The developer returned to the game in summer 2025 and shipped Update 1.2 on September 5, 2025, adding Hotels as a new business type and high-resolution texture support. At the end of that update post, the developer explicitly stated: "While I'll be back working on our new game for the time being, there will be more content coming for Another Brick in The Mall! I'll have some news hopefully before the end of the year." That promise established a concrete commitment to both future content and an announcement timeline (by end of 2025). As of October 8, 2026 — over 13 months since that post — no further news, announcement, or developer communication of any kind has appeared. The promised end-of-2025 announcement window has passed with no update or explanation. The developer's history suggests this is a solo or very small studio that acknowledged shelving multiple projects before returning to this game. Their pattern includes extended quiet periods, and they are actively working on a separate new game. This makes prolonged silence plausible, but the expired announcement promise, combined with over a year of silence, means the status of the planned content cannot be confirmed. Content is still technically outstanding based on the developer's own words, but whether it is actively being developed is now uncertain.

About this game

Design, build and manage a giant shopping center. Open shops, supermarkets, restaurants, movie theaters, bowling alleys and more. Hire and manage the best staff for the job and milk your customers for all they're worth!

  • Design and build your center from the ground up. You are responsible for every road, parking, wall, floor tile, door, shelf, plant, you name it. Arrange them optimally, or to your liking, and create a unique shopping empire.

  • Thousands of characters and vehicles are simulated on screen, for that ant colony feel.

  • Hire your staff from a panel of applicants, making sure their skills match the job.

  • Deploy your workforce efficiently to keep the queues short, the shelves stocked and the floors clean.

  • Keep your customers happy and satisfied. Unsatisfied customers will not come back tomorrow and furious ones will make a stink and tarnish your reputation.

  • Sell staple goods to attract more customers and prey on their cravings and addictions to trigger impulse purchases.

  • Starting your venture with limited funds, responsible accounting is paramount to your success. Open your first business, turn a profit, take out loans and expand progressively.

  • Or play in sandbox mode and carelessly spend your infinite money: “This is your world.”
