The Mall Guide (Chapter 5) — Anomaly Detected

The Mall is the fifth contract — announced but not yet playable. Its three badges went live September 12, 2026, and as of September 19 zero players hold any of them, meaning the chapter itself has not shipped. Community coverage pegs the release at around September 20; this page is prepped for launch day and will be updated the moment it is live and verified.

The official Chapter 5 badge art — a mall storefront under neon signage, the only preview of the new site released so far.

What is The Mall?

Chapter 5 of five — and the halfway point of the roadmap. Its Journal badge description reads “Half way there”, the first official confirmation that roughly ten chapters are planned. The client is a mall property; based on the setting, expect storefronts and open atriums — the largest visual variety of any site so far, and fertile ground for every anomaly category from merchandise object changes to lighting anomalies across big open spaces.

How do I unlock it?

Same rule as every chapter: clear The Hospital on any difficulty once The Mall is live. If you are behind on the chain, the how to play guide covers the fundamentals, and the R$89 Unlock All Chapters pass on the gamepasses page skips the sequence entirely.

What badges does The Mall have?

All three already exist on the game’s badge list — created September 12 — with zero earners as of September 19:

Badge	Requirement	Status
Completion	Finish a Mall shift	Not yet earnable — chapter unreleased
Veteran completion	Clear on Veteran mode	Not yet earnable
Journal 100%	Catalog every documented anomaly on this map	Not yet earnable — likely months before anyone earns it

How do I prepare for launch day?

• Clear The Hospital now — the unlock chain means The Mall opens the moment you finish Chapter 4, and first-day players will be racing for the first completion badges.
• Expect fresh anomalies. New chapters have historically shipped with new anomaly types alongside returning ones — the Journal here is genuinely uncharted for everyone.
• Front-load your memorization pass. Day-one playthroughs go to whoever learns the room baseline fastest; the core loop discipline matters more than ever on an unfamiliar map.

Track the release on the update log — this page switches from “announced” to a full walkthrough as soon as the chapter is playable and verified.
