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.
Shacknews: 7 / 10 by Lucas White
Thankfully, Sorry We’re Closed only ran around six hours before I saw one of the endings. Those moments of anguish were not massive parts of the game, although they were gnarly roadblocks. Everything else, from the vibes to the storytelling, and even the combat when it was reasonable, were compelling to the end. I’m still curious about the other endings, but the trauma from that generator setpiece has me wanting to wait for possible adjustments or new settings in the future. Horror enthusiasts, especially those who revel in the weird, who are also secret gaming gunslingers and are cool with sudden spikes in difficulty will find a lot to like here.
TheGamer: 4.5 / 5 by Hilton Webster
Sorry We’re Closed struck me deep. Every confession of love, every bullet through the heart, every day that Michelle woke up just to prove love is worth living for. Any kind of love, as long as you try. That’s the kind of game this is. Past the combat and puzzles, after the decisions and conversations. No matter what, it wants you to wake up each day and choose love.

Sorry We're Closed is a gripping, unique experience that will appeal to fans of psychological horror and puzzles. Its atmosphere and story make it worth the challenge. However, its relative lack of action may turn off some players.
