A survival horror inspired by the first Resident Evil trilogy. The protagonist of Sorry We're Closed is Michelle. She is cursed by a demon and we can try to save her from it. The game combines static shots (during exploration) with first-person perspective (during combat).
Sorry We're Closed is a survival horror game made in a style reminiscent of the genre's classics from the 1990s, led by the first three parts of the Resident Evil series. The game is the debut project of a small, independent studio called a la mode games.
The main character of Sorry We're Closed is a girl named Michelle. She is living in London and has been cursed by a love-hungry demon. Over the course of several of her potentially final days, the protagonist, endowed with the so-called third eye (allowing her to see parallel realities), ventures into an alternative world to find a way to free herself from her curse.
Whether Michelle manages to escape from oppression (or on the contrary - falls straight into the arms of a love-struck demon) largely depends on our actions and choices made during the game.
In Sorry We're Closed we view events from two perspectives. During exploration Michelle is presented from static shots, but on the battlefield we see the world through her eyes (FPP).
We can explore the London district and its alternative, demonic version, meet characters and perform missions that push the story forward. On our path, we often encounter opponents with whom we fight, making use of a gun called Hellhound and other types of weapons.
We also regularly use the third eye during the game. It allows the protagonist to observe a parallel reality, which is useful for solving environmental puzzles. Michelle can discover passages and secrets available in one dimension, which are not present in the other. Additionally, Michelle uses her third eye to stun enemies and reveal their weak points.
The graphic design of Sorry We're Closed is maintained in a distinctive, flashy or even "punk" retro style.

Game Ratings for Sorry We're Closed Video Game.
GamesRadar+: 4.5 / 5 by Oscar Taylor-Kent
Slathered with infectious energy, its innovative alternate-reality heartbreak shooting mechanics are thrilling to play with, and it's a world you won't want to say farewell to after you get your first ending. Resident Evil 4 and Silent Hill can't match this neon-soaked survival horror for its sheer inventiveness.
Checkpoint Gaming: 9 / 10 by Charlie Kelly
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.
