I've taken both Moorea and Chiensha into the Zombie Mall over the last few days. The MOTD seems accurate. Here are some thoughts:
* It is possible to Sneak without the zombies detecting you. This is intriguing. The Mall can essentially become a safe space for skilled Thieves and Liberators to meet, where characters without Sneak are kept away by the zombies. I like it.
* There's no electricity - bring a light or infravision. There's no food unless you want to eat the human body parts which are everywhere. And there's no water, so bring your own.
* I tried an experiment. I had Chiensha Backstab a zombie in a room near the entrance. Immediate kill. Then had him Hide. The zombies did swarm to that room. But, because they couldn't discover him there, their swarming behavior stopped, and they went back to being dormant. As the MOTD suggests, this could be a way to bring the zombies out of their default or current rooms toward where you want them to be - a way to essentially herd them. I can imagine that could be useful.
* Because of the swarming, I suggest anyone going there have a reserve of Reward Points. It's only 2 RPs to fully restore energy, and that could be a lifesaver if you're low on energy and a swarm finds you.
* Lastly, as I earlier found with the Vampire Theater, IMO it's too easy to kill the baddies, and they seem to have no possibility of harming me. Moorea is level 15 and neither the zombies nor the vamps could touch her. I think they need to be made a little more powerful, and a little less vulnerable.
