“For players looking for something a little outside the usual fare, Sorry We’re Closed is the offbeat survival horror genre-blend they didn’t know they’d been waiting for — and as one of that number myself, I can say that it was an experience unlike any other.” - Thom Stone, GameCritics

Sorry We're Closed is an eccentric story-driven survival horror game about demons, angels and what happens when both sides collide. A mix of classic fixed-camera exploration and arcade-style shooting where Michelle must use her Third Eye to see between worlds, uncover secrets and solve puzzles.

Features:

  • A WORLD OF ANGELS AND DEMONS - Follow the final days of Michelle as she battles to break the curse placed on her by a powerful demon looking for love. Help (or hinder!) the lives of curious residents in Michelle’s bustling London borough as you pursue freedom from your own untimely demise.

  • CHOICES MATTER - Michelle’s time is split between the perilous demon world and mingling with the locals on her residential street. Everyone is battling their own inner demons and through Michelle you can help guide them. Multiple endings are available through RPG-style dialogue interactions with the extravagant cast.

  • SURVIVAL HORROR WITH A TWIST - Sorry We're Closed is a fusion of nostalgic survival horror with a new perspective on combat, combining atmospheric environments with fixed-camera angles and the thrill of arcade-style first person shooting. Collect items and manage resources to help Michelle survive. Optional tank controls are available for those who enjoy the classic survival horror experience.

  • OPEN YOUR THIRD EYE - Peer between worlds and learn about the hidden denizens in Michelle’s neighborhood. Open your Third Eye to stun enemies and reveal their weak points.Take enemies down with perfect combos to charge up for the ultimate shot.

  • NEW FEATURES - Available for both PC and consoles from March 6th.

    • The demon world is now more accessible than ever with rebalanced combat areas, improved controller sensitivity, aim assist options and new difficulty modes.

    • Restart the adventure in New Game+ to keep your upgrades and collectables as you explore alternate story paths.

    • Race against the clock to improve your combat level scores in Time Attack mode.

    • Motion-controlled aiming, including gyroscope support on Nintendo Switch and motion sensor aiming on PlayStation, for even greater precision.
