"Sorry We're Closed is an incredible debut from á la mode games. It dares to go where scarce horror games have gone prior in making their underworld adventure also dreamy, poppy and dripping in substance. The world of demons and angels is tantalising in writing and worldbuilding but also visual design, depicted as god-like otherworldly hotties. Thankfully that substance isn't skin deep and also translates to inventive horror gameplay design where you're constantly shifting between claustrophobic fixed camera positioning for arena fights and first-person mode for lining up crunchy shotgun blasts. All these moving parts make for a memorable adventure filled with exciting boss fights, wicked needle-drop moments mid-battle and deep discussions on love and relationships. Quite simply the coolest survival horror game to ever exist, Sorry We're Closed is certifiably one for the girlies."

About

We're Closed Sorry is a platformer where you control both a hero navigating a retro supermarket and the store's owner. As the hero, you leap through aisles battling bugs and uncovering secrets. When the shop closes, you switch to the owner's role to scramble lights and traps, fending off creepy intruders that emerge in the dark. The game blends exploration with frantic management, requiring you to balance upgrades for the hero and quick decisions as the owner to keep the store from descending into chaos. The dual-control mechanic creates a tense push-and-pull between long-term progress and immediate survival. While specific community feedback is limited, the game's quirky setting and time-pressure gameplay have drawn comparisons to indie favorites that mix resourcefulness with action. The retro supermarket aesthetic adds a surreal charm, turning mundane objects into tools for combat and puzzles. Short but tightly designed, it offers a fresh take on genre hybrids without overreaching.
