Evaluation

Storebound was built as a finite six-episode campaign. It entered Early Access on November 17, 2025 with Episodes 1 & 2, added Episodes 3 & 4 as a free update on March 5, 2026, and officially launched its full 1.0 version on July 16, 2026 with the final Episodes 5 & 6. The June 2, 2026 announcement explicitly described the finale as "the ultimate conclusion to the Storebound saga," confirming the six-episode arc is complete. The store description reinforces that this is a self-contained 5-to-7-hour campaign. The most recent news post (September 11, 2026) announces that Storebound is coming to PlayStation and Xbox on October 1, 2026, with a Steam update on that date to enable cross-play between all platforms. This is a platform expansion — it brings the same complete game to new audiences — and does not represent new story content or additional episodes. The only DLC items on the store are a Soundtrack and a Digital Artbook, both released on launch day as extras with no story content. The developer has made no announcements of post-1.0 story content, additional episodes, or further content updates beyond the console launch and cross-play patch.

About this game

Storebound is a co-op puzzle horror experience built as a six-episode campaign. Prepare for a 5-to-7-hour descent into the darkness of a cursed megastore trapped between dream and nightmare. Every two chapters, you'll explore an entirely different era and area of the store, facing unique puzzles and new horrors.

Decode the Megastore Together

Team up to escape a store that wants you to shop forever. Teamwork and quick thinking are your only tools for survival.

Search the mall for items and gather clues, using proximity voice chat to piece together the path to your next destination.

Split up and use walkie-talkies to keep contact. Whether you’re calling out code sequences from across the department or guiding a friend through a maze, solving the megastore’s twisted logic is the only way out.

Avoid After-Hours Assistance

When the lights go out, the Store is on the look out for shoppers who need "assistance". Cut communications to stay silent, or risk getting caught.

Avoid the mall's traps and aberrations, they will gnaw at your mind until you can't trust what you see or do.

Just remember: in a place built for consumption, the final price is always you.
