Exploration of an abandoned Texas Mall

VFX artist KanePixels, creator of the breakout video series set in The Backrooms, has finished their latest project: The Oldest View (Youtube playlist).
The Oldest View is a six video series about the discovery and exploration of an abandoned Texas Mall. It brings his trademark sense of place, pacing, tension and the uncanny to a new setting.
Once you're done, you might be interested to see the real-life inspiration that KanePixels meticulously recreated: The Valley View Center Mall courtesy of zeroxlulu.
If endless memes, low effort also-ran videos, shovelware games and fractal wikis haven't killed your interest in that right-angled yellow labyrinth A-Sync Research is probably the foremost follower in KanePixels' footsteps, with their own high-quality backrooms series.

The Backrooms definitely wasn't perfect, but it's also the work of a (I believe) very young creator, and it has a definite sense of menace and strong use of the medium of relatively short videos chaining together to tell a more complicated story with multiple PoVs. I'm excoted to check out a new effort!

Don't click if you prefer going in completely cold, but I found helpful context for the videos here. There's more going on Kane's videos here than I, who knew nothing of any of that, initially cottoned on to.
Thanks for the post, I really enjoyed these.
