A full set of Steam achievements is now available, and the narrative reaches its conclusion with a new storyline featuring a corporate scientific team investigating the megastore.

Hello shoppers,
Mark your calendars: Storebound will exit Early Access and launch into its full 1.0 version on July 16! After eight months of browsing the aisles of the PRESENT megastore together, you can finally experience the definitive nightmare.
While Episodes 1 through 4 followed the harrowing stories of regular people trapped in the accursed megastore, the finale shifts the perspective.
In Episodes 5 & 6, you will step into the shoes of a specialized corporate scientific team. Dispatched years after the initial incidents, your mission is to venture deeper into the surreal depths of the store than anyone has dared. Your goal: solve the mystery of the store’s anomalies and bring back whatever you found to your employer.
But be warned: the Megastore has evolved. We’ve taken the puzzles up a notch for this final chapter, teamwork and wits will be more vital than ever if you hope to make it back to the surface.
Last but not least, Episode 6 is so massive that we’ve expanded it into a two-part grand finale, serving as the ultimate conclusion to the Storebound saga!
We’ve spent our time in Early Access listening to your feedback, clearing bugs, and refining the Store’s challenges to ensure that the six-episode saga provides a polished and engaging experience from start to finish.Join our Discord community to get ready for 1.0!Join the Discord here!
