Overview
Puppet Mall: Chapter 1: Lost Friend is a first-person horror adventure from developer and publisher kiviGames. Released on October 21, 2026, this single-player experience drops you into the shoes of John, a visitor to the long-abandoned Puppet Mall.
What begins as a search for answers quickly turns into a journey through dark corridors, abandoned stores, and the lingering traces of a mysterious past.
The game leans heavily on exploration and puzzle-solving, wrapped in a psychological horror atmosphere. As John, you'll piece together the story of Mike and Chris, the mall's owner, through notes and environmental storytelling.
