WHAT AM I BUYING?
A complete PDF version of HYPERMALL: UNLIMITED VIOLENCE, updated to match the Physical Edition with new art on every page + The Tragic & Inevitable Death Of A Champion Of Industry (Starting Adventure) + all future updates + my undying loyalty. YOU'RE GETTING ALL OF THIS FOR LESS THAN THE FINAL PRODUCT
WHAT'S THAT?
HYPERMALL: UNLIMITED VIOLENCE is a mission-based corpo murder TTRPG about assassinating the rich and famous. Enter the consumerist hellscape of THE HYPERMALL where death is cheap and life is cheaper. HM:UV is an unhinged gonzo meatpunk sci-fi dystopia buzzword game for financial geniuses.
You're a CONTRACTOR for SLAUGHTR™ - The Assassination App - and your job is to Murder Your Target Without Dying. You're already in debt. You can't afford unnecessary Resurrections when rent is due, and you absolutely do not have health insurance. GET TO WORK.
Become a mutated killing machine, a psychic murderer, or a cold blooded cyber criminal. Try your best to make ends meet. Die a lot. Kill cops. Get paid.
HM:UV is inspired by Cruelty Squad, Troika!, System Shock, Prey (2017), PbtA, working at a job, cyberpunk fiction, and our contemporary toiletworld where everything is a subscription and no one is free.

"DUDE, THIS IS FUCKED. THIS IS RAW." - EVERYONE
WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT RESURRECTION?
Years ago, the American Consumer's Federation's top scientists determined that the Afterlife is REAL and HORRIBLE. Nothing but EVERLASTING TORTURE awaits the dead in THE DEATH DIMENSION, no matter what.
So they built the RESURRECTION MATRIX to keep us SAFE. When you die in the HyperMall, you are reborn in a fresh new body, assuming you can pay for it. It's great because if you get sick, you can just kill yourself and you'll be cured. No more sick days! Hooray!
THAT'S A PROBLEM. I THOUGHT YOU SAID WE WERE KILLING PEOPLE.
Listen, pal, you're gonna have to figure it out. The Client ain't paying for a Target that ain't dead. Hack the Res Matrix, take 'em somewhere it doesn't reach, open a psychic portal to the Death Dimension, I don't care. Just stop complaining and do your job, or you'll be hearing from HR.
STRETCH GOALS
If we meet our funding goals, I'll be able to make DLC, which is already sketched out and partially written. The specifics of what will go into each piece of DLC are subject to change.

- "A beautiful man with eyes of light and a voice that flays flesh has appeared in the HyperMall. Of course somebody wants him dead."
- "When everyone in the HyperMall starts to dream of this stranger and his eyes of light after you put him in the ground, it becomes clear that there's something more going on than just some charismatic weirdo with psychic powers playing God."
- Prophet Margins
- Heaven's Detritus
- Congenital Disease in the Heart of the American Dream
Why Are There Multiple Versions?
The Lo-Fi versions have smaller file sizes and should display better on most machines. Their text is not highlightable but I genuinely could not do a thing about that. It was one or the other. There are also minor spelling fixes in the lo-fi versions not present in the standard version.
WHAT ELSE DO I GOTTA KNOW?
The contents, project length, layout, art, and mechanics are subject to change as time goes on and the project evolves. Please let me know in the comments below if you notice typos (impossible, I am infallible) or have feedback (extremely appreciated).

I pre-ordered the physical copy, but can't find the PDF that came with it to download. Anyone know where to find it?
Sorry to hear that. Contact info@hammercitygames.com and he should be able to sort it out. I think you'd have been emailed a download link
Im geussing its not possible to get the pyhsical editions anymore?
i will put out an update when they're ready to be ordered! Should be around May
I might be ignorant to where this is stated, but does anyone have an idea on the timeline for when the stretch goal DLC's will be coming out?
It's gonna be a while. I'm focusing on my next big game, Coffinkeep, for the foreseeable future, but I am tinkering with the DLCs in the background.
This looks like a blast! Any chance of more community copies dropping any time soon? :)
Hey,
this is my try at creating a fillable PDF character sheet. :)
Enjoy.
RIGHT HERE
Oh that's sick, great work
Some things are a little bit off-center but I appreciate the kind words! <3
the link is dead, do you think you could post a new one?
It should be updated and working now. Thank you for letting me know. :)
This looks sick, gonna have to start this and make digital collages for some player character
I am very excited to commit violence.
"Toronto Mariners" feels like a personal attack
I love the mariners and live near Toronto, it had to be done
DAMN. You got disappointed twice this year. My condolences.
The rich and famous own you. They warp the world endlessly, they buy and sell history, memory, life, and death and you can’t do jack-shit about it. Well, you couldn’t until SLAUGHTR: The Assassination App put them in the crosshairs, and gave gig-workers the chance to make a difference. A mission-based corpo murder TTRPG about assassinating the rich and famous, HYPERMALL: UNLIMITED VIOLENCE is a game that’s about getting up to your forearms in gonzo violence and reveling in how it mutates you because otherwise how are you gonna make rent!? This is a TTRPG that truly engages in and evolves the cyberpunk ideal of high tech, low life, and presenting a view into a world that’s somehow worse than the current one.
-Excerpt from "Picking Your Second System" over on Goonhammer.com
This is so sick, thank you!
Of course! Thank you so much for making HyperMall, and I'm so excited by every post you do around Coffinkeep!
Game good. Game violent. Dis is known.
Yooo Dookster this is great work!
YO THANK YOU
Thanks dookie
oh no the bleed is real
Is there anyway you can upload a PDF with compressed images as 576MB for a PDF is a bit much. It also loads and changes pages incredibly slowly.
this IS with compressed images
I'm working on a smaller version
The PDF was already very POGGIES © but the updated one cured my ADHD for a single day and makes me want to CONSOOM even more !!!!!
WAITER WAITER, MORE HYPERMALL UNLIMITED VIOLENCE PLEASE !!!!
Maybe I just suck at coming up with things but it's kind of hard to think of locations. Like a night club, cool, but how does that translate into a mall? I think there ought to be better descriptions of the actual mall itself outside of "It's a big mall" and the lower levels.
Imagine [your favorite urban megacenter], thrice more crowded, walled and with at least 3 ceilings. Instead of streets of mixed commerce you have entire streets back to back of aisles/sections with entire buildings for the same type of product - and some weird overlaps, like police stations also being abattoirs/butcheries.
There are 50 night clubs clumped together in the same street, some atop one another in 50 stories-tall buildings, ambients sectioned by music genre and DJSs. There are food stalls, threre are drug stores, there are gun stores, all club-themed.
this is incredible
Yo when they giving community copies again?
when more people buy the game tbh
you violated the rules and got mad about it, let's not sugarcoat what happened
This should be a pull quote for this game. Perfect endorsement
Too late to preorder? This game fuckin rips
Not at all! You can pre order through the kickstarter
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hammercitygames/hypermall-unlimited-violenc...
Thank you for the reply! It’s telling me that I already have a pledge for my email address. But I don’t recall receiving or filling out a survey.
sorry for the delay. My publisher suggests emailing our distributor, Violet, to get this resolved
violet@rvgames.company
Thank you! I’ve reached out
Just ran the starter adventure for my usual group and we had an absolute blast. This game is batshit in the best way possible.
that's awesome! I'm glad you had fun!
there's nothing in the book that says how much a pack of midlands cigs costs, i would like to know in case someone plays a midlands cig vending machine and decides to sell some
I believe it's listed as 1 Debt but i could be wrong.
Unfathomably hyped for the physical release! Ran a one-shot of this with my usual group, and everyone was immediately hooked.
that's sick, I love to hear that! The physical is so close
Waiter Waiter, more discord links please !
https://discord.gg/2XqG3pFVZz
Community Copies will go up later next week (I'm going camping, I'll put em up then)
Thank you so much
hello! as a VALUED CUSTOMER I was curious if there was any chance we could get a plaintext version of the rulebook at some point? some VALUED PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMERS only have Wow! Monochromatic Rental Eyes or are mole people that can only read if a Speak and Sell Screen Reader says it out loud for them.
I'm gonna break character here and apologize. I want to make a plaintext version of HyperMall, but I've been extremely bad at version control and don't really have a manuscript version of the game anywhere. Once the physical edition is finished, I will try to create a plaintext version of it.
This is so outrageous and abrasive, I love it so much! I'd love to follow you on SOME kind of media and EXPAND MY INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO with you!!!
@ratbastardgames on bluesky and X, The Everything App
hey, just wondering if we can get a new discord link please!
Hey! Can we get some more community copies? We understand if we can't, apreciate your work nonetheless!
OVERVIEWED THIS WHILST FREEBASING COCAINE AND SHOVING 33 DIFFERENT NEW-RELEASE-HYPER-SEXUAL ULTRACHUNKPOPS INTO MY URETHRA, EXCRETED MY FLUIDS ALL OVER MY GAMING BIOSTATION, WILL BE LOOKING TO PURCHASE SOON.
this looks sick as fuck.
The discord links in the comments are expired (and the community copies all slurped up by FREELOADING ECONOMIC PARASITES like myself-- they probably don't even have a CEO mindset like I DO.
Any chance one or both of those could be rectified? If not I'll just try to find a couple of shithead friends to cough up a couple of bucks and we'll make our own discord.
can you put up more community copies im broke as shit
Yeah no problem
hell yeah
hiya! this looks super fun, any chance we could get some more community copies? also also, is there a community online where people can play together?
there's a discord!
https://discord.gg/v87qRhrn
And I'll put up more community copies after I finish typing this
thanks a ton! can't wait to play
May I have a discord invite boss?
https://discord.gg/m5p2D9ky
You got one more of those discord links? Cheers!
https://discord.gg/47a9V8NmKg
excited to consume
make sure you consume your daily dose
PRODUCT CONSUMED.
TWICE.
Very fun game! Though i wish there was a discord or reddit for General Managers and Contractors alike to connect, share ideas, and find new co-workers.
https://discord.gg/UyrVsRAY
It would be incredibly funny if someone made a reddit
Finally I can burn out my retinas and pretend I played it with a pdf
just wait until the physical release update drops you'll wish you still had retinas to burn
i scanned the qr code
you're literally braver than the troops
This is just like gorbino’s quest. This is the gorbino’s quest of TTRPGs.
it's exactly like gorbino's quest
I love you
im kissingf you on the mouth
now THIS is a TTRPG with some chest hair
hell yeah
I really like how this looks and I've been interested in a Cruelty Squad-esque TTRPG for a while, but due to sanctions I quite literally cannot purchase it. I'd really like it if you put up some community copies, please
there should be some up now
Being in university without an income , this will help us me and some friends to release some stress __on our profs__
