There is a sandbox mode where you can just fiddle around and build without goals and objectives. You can hire staff from a panel of applicants, being sure they fit with your needs and wants in your mall. But some traits for employees may not appear until they worked for your mall for a while, and you may have to let go the bad apples who make the mall look bad.
Whatever you do, do not underpay your best quality staff! It can result in them quitting your mall and stop being as productive. In Another Brick In The Mall, you must also be sure to money manage wisely as well. You may have to adjust your profit margin to attract more customers, turn a profit, take out some loans, and expand the mall progressively. Make sure your shelves are stocked up often, as to not make customers mad and leave empty handed. Your staff can also clean your floors and make sure the building is not dirty as well.
With so many simulation type games like this out there already, it may prove a challenge to be number one. But the graphics for this game are very simple, so I expect any kind of low-end PC to be able to run and play it – so that accessibility could factor into its success.
If you’ve always wanted to build a mall of your dreams, Another Brick in the Mall could be worth a look. Check out the trailer above and look for it on Steam Greenlight! You can also find the official website here.
