Purchase options
Primary: our account is set as the home Xbox of your console ("My home Xbox"), so the game is shared with your own profile and works offline — that is one slot on one console. Secondary: you sign in to our account and launch the game from it, and the console has to stay online. The activation code is an extra option: it is redeemed on your own account, and the game stays there forever.
You install the game from our account and set our account as the home one ("My home Xbox"): after that you play from your own profile, and the progress and achievements stay yours. It works offline.
You sign in to our account and play right from it. A permanent internet connection is required and only the issued profile can be used. It costs less than the primary access.
A bonus way to buy: you get a 25-character code and redeem it on your own account. The game stays with you forever, no other profiles and no sign-in to a shared account.

About the game
Storebound is a co-op puzzle horror experience built as a six-episode campaign. Prepare for a 5-to-7-hour descent into the darkness of a cursed megastore trapped between dream and nightmare. Every two chapters, you'll explore an entirely different era and area of the store, facing unique puzzles and new horrors.
---Decode the Megastore Together
Team up to escape a store that wants you to shop forever. Teamwork and quick thinking are your only tools for survival.
Search the mall for items and gather clues, using proximity voice chat to piece together the path to your next destination.
Split up and use walkie-talkies to keep contact. Whether you’re calling out code sequences from across the department or guiding a friend through a maze, solving the megastore’s twisted logic is the only way out.
---Avoid After-Hours Assistance
When the lights go out, the Store is on the look out for shoppers who need "assistance". Cut communications to stay silent, or risk getting caught.
Avoid the mall's traps and aberrations, they will gnaw at your mind until you can't trust what you see or do.
Just remember: in a place built for consumption, the final price is always you.
---Key Features
- 6-Episode Horror Chronicles: A complete campaign spanning 5 to 7 hours. Every two chapters drop your squad into a new era with distinct settings, fresh puzzles, and lurking entities to escape from.

- Liminal Store: Experience horror in a shopping complex caught between dream and nightmare.

- 2Now open "Settings" → "General" → "Personalization" → "My home Xbox" and choose "Make this my home Xbox". This is what shares our games with every profile on your console.
- 3Switch back to your own profile, open "My games & apps" → "Library" and install the game. The internet is only needed for the download.
