Developer Interview!
Q: What was the biggest challenge with making Parlor Mall? A: mainly stage design, this is actually one of my less ambitious games
and the action combat did the "impressive" part. There were a
lot of stats to tweak but... oh well. Also, because of the nature of the
game, I pretty much had to start from the beginning every time I tested
the game, which was at least 50+ times. I'm sure there's a more efficient
way, but I actually had fun with this game.
Q: What were your biggest inspirations when coming up with ideas for your
game? A: theres a very good ASMR Video of this lady smoking a large cigar and
having an espresso. In the video, she also reads an excerpt from the book
"Apocalypse Now". Also the song "California Dreamin'"
was a huge inspiration, and it's a shame I couldn't use it.
Q: What would you add if you had more time? A: Nothing at all, the game is what it is. I don't regret anything.

D4says...
This game makes me jealous that I can't write dialogue and prose this good. coupled with an incredibly unique visual style... its got it all.
Your ability to sell and atmosphere is inspiring. Beautiful art that stands out and super cute. I was personally a big fan of spelunking, and memorizing the way back to save, getting deeper every run. At first I felt so powerless, I thought I had to avoid every encounter lol. Getting all the proof was hella worth it.
