Karen is a Steam game where you throw tantrums in a mall

Karen is an upcoming third-person action game from indie developer Sauce Studios that puts players loose in a luxury shopping center to cause chaos. The rage simulator sends you through The Shoppes at Serenity Ridge, where the goal is to upset employees and patrons by any means necessary, from smashing glass displays to overpowering people with the nauseating scent of pumpkin spice.

You play as Karen, sporting a Kate Gosselin–inspired piecey hairdo, sassy cat-eye frames, and practical athleisure. The trailer shows ground-pounding in boutiques like Donkey Kong, thrashing through mobile phone shops and fast-casual eateries, and rampaging in a clothing store named The Beige Cage.

The game unfolds over a week with daily to-do lists that include tasks such as "demand refund," "eat sample," and "citizen's arrest," and each day ends with a boss fight against mall management, from a Segway-riding security guard to a smug electronics-store employee.
