Sorry We're Closed Steam Charts & Stats

This managed to be deeply unique and nostalgic at the same time. Absolutely fantastic.

Great game, great music, great writing.

Loved everything this game had to offer, even things i was unsure about in the beginning (the story) had me in the end. 100% worth it.

An unapologetically queer survival horror game with super unique, snappy combat and a genuinely interesting story with a ton of heart. I have never played a game quite like Sorry We're Closed and I'll be thinking about it for a very long time!

A mechanical and artistic triumph with a strong and distinct voice. At the core it very much is a survival horror game, though a little bit on the easier side, but similar to what the genre was in the PS1/PS2 era it uses the medium to convey a strong narrative through unorthodox means. Cool stuff, can't wait to see A La Mode's next big ideas.

Difficult to describe -- This game won me over almost immediately. great storyline, fantastic characters, interesting visual elements. Well worth what I paid! Definitely give it a try if you think you might enjoy it because you prolly will.

What I thought to be more of a love letter to the survival game genre, soon proved itself to be an unapologetic, straight up survival horror game and builds on top of it. The "Third Eye" mechanic could've easily been a gimmick, but in the hands of these devs felt like second nature to use. Great gem of a game, especially if you enjoy survival horrors!

Love the art style, love the music, love the gameplay, love the characters, love the story. This entire game is very eccentric, but I mean that in the best way possible. Got every single achievement. 10/10 survival horror game.

AMAZING GAME! It's Jojo meets Silent Hill and it's absolutely fabulous and fresh. It's on the short side, but it's totally worth it, as it has a few endings. The visuals are so out there that got me inspired, the music too.

[h1]An Interesting Story Of Love & Toxic Relationship[/h1] Another game I tried during last October's Steam Next Fest. The combination of avant-garde character designs and the low-poly, dark and slightly rusty background makes a stark contrast, which instantly leaves quite an impression on me. After playing it through, I am more surprised to find out that not only is this game a competent survival horror game, but it also has a nice story to tell with interesting character development and conflicts. While some of the old-school jankiness can knock down some points, the overall experience is great and I definitely recommend Sorry We're Closed. [h1]Thing I Like About Sorry We're Closed:[/h1] [b]Story[/b] Love, relationship, and beyond. [list] [*]I am confident to say that story is definitely one of the highlights of this game. The main theme here is love. Everyone, no matter the gender and species, craves love. [*]Love in this game is often portraited in two contradicting ways: it is something hard to grasp, almost intangible. We see this in The Duchess' plot line. No matter how many "lovers" they collect, they still can't find it. The fruitless result and the longing drive The Duchess mad. Their methods become cruel and desperate. Yet, love is not something you can simply get. [*]In contrast, love is also everywhere, even in the most unlikely places. We can see love between an ill-mannered punk and a big softie. We can see love between an angel and a devil. We can even see it between two ancient beings. Of course all these lovebirds have their struggles, being their conflicting natures or duties. How their stories end depends on you. [*]Love springs out other feelings as well. Desire. Obsession. Cravings. The game explores these territories to show you that an unhealthy love can be devastating to one's mind. A desire for wealth blinds one's perception. An obsession for fame and beauty drives one insane. A craving for recognition can easily make one resorting to more unseemly ways. [/list] [h1]Things I Like And Dislike About Sorry We're Closed:[/h1] [b]1. Level Design[/b] Short and compact. [list] [b]Like[/b] [*]The level designs are great. They may be short but each level is full of secrets and interesting cutscenes. [*]The game uses the fixed camera angles well, showing you enough to let you know where to go but hiding monsters and secrets outside the screen to create tensions and surprises. [*]The Third Eye grants you temporary access between the human world and the demon realm. Often empty spaces in one realm may contain items such as key pieces or supplies in the other. This design makes exploration fun and rewarding. [*]Puzzles overall are good and often encourage you to use The Third Eye more often to solve. [b]Dislike[/b] [*]The only gripe I have about the level design is that some places need more color. Specific levels can be confusing to navigate because of the color scheme between walls and grounds is way too similar. [/list] [b]2. Combat & The Third Eye[/b] Ah, the old-school "can't move while aiming". [list] [b]Like[/b] [*]There isn't much wrong to write the combat itself. It is easy to grasp. The gunplay is decent and all four of the weapons have unique designs and sound effects to help each other stand out. [*]The game turns into first-person mode when you aim. This helps you deal the with enemies more accurately. You can also aim to see the levels more thoroughly in case you feel like you are missing something. [*]The Third Eye also grant you a new mechanic. You can open The Third Eye to briefly stun the enemies near you. It exposes their weak spots and those parts are the only things you can shoot within the eye's radius. Shooting all the weak spots kill the enemies instantly, a nice way to save ammo. [b]Dislike[/b] [*]The Third Eye is a nice mechanic, but it trivializes the normal shooting. Basically there is no incentive to kill enemies without using The Third Eye. Other than letting the enemies get uncomfortably close to you, there aren't any downsides of it. I wish there were some sort of trade-off in place to make normal shooting viable. [*]The upgrades you can trade with the merchant are lacking. I wish these upgrades would go beyond magazine size and damage upgrade, giving specific weapon a secondary function or something. [*]There is no invincible frame when you are recovering from knock down, which means enemies with faster attack can wail on you when you're down and there is nothing you can do about it. [/list] [h1]Things I Dislike About Sorry We're Closed:[/h1] [b]Some Complaint[/b] [list] [*]It's rare to say this but the music in this game sounds out-of-place, especially the boss parts. [/list] 中文小簡評 →畫風很有特色的獨立恐怖遊戲小品。 →前衛的角色設計搭配復古簡單的背景形成強烈對比，令人印象深刻。 →雖然是復古生存恐怖遊戲，但故事主要探討愛情的定義與辛苦。 →我還滿喜歡遊戲對「愛」的描寫。所有角色無論性別與種族皆為愛情所苦，有人用盡全力尋了一輩子也得不到，心中無法填補的寂寞感迫使他們使用更加極端的手段；情侶雖然獲得愛情，但礙於現實或天性，情感的路走得特別顛頗，但他們不會因此放棄，而是不斷尋找方法讓彼此能夠更加安穩的在一起。 →遊戲特別描寫天使與惡魔間的感情糾紛，在對抗詛咒的同時也能出手幫助他們，看是要成全還是要拆散全取決於你。 →主角冒險中也能看到因愛情而產生的執念、渴望及慾望，見識到其他因相同詛咒而墮落的人的下場，告誡自己千萬別走相同的路。 →回歸玩法，遊戲的流程短但精實，關卡設計充分利用固定視角隱藏敵人製造氣氛，也巧妙地將道具藏起來。 →第三隻眼的設計很有趣，藉由開眼可以讓你附近的區域切換境界，人間轉魔境，魔境轉人間，看似空無一物的房間不妨開眼再看一次，就能額外找到關鍵道具和彈藥，許多解謎要素也十分仰賴這項技能。 →不過有些關卡的用色過於單一，一時分辨不出牆與路的差別很容易讓人迷路。 →戰鬥簡單好上手，基本上是老恐怖遊戲的罰站射擊，槍枝的造型和音效獨特，打擊感也不錯。 →瞄準的時候會切換成第一人稱，除了增加準度外，你也能利用這點好好觀察關卡的細節。 →第三隻眼在戰鬥中也是一大助力，開眼的瞬間可以擊暈敵人，任何走進你領域的敵人也會被自動標記出弱點，成功打擊弱點能夠以少量子彈迅速將之擊退，缺點就是敵人往往與你距離很近，再加上領域內的敵人只有弱點可打，因此打歪了很容易挨打。 →開眼打弱點的設計不錯，但也導致普通射擊模式變得相當雞肋，幾乎沒有不開眼打怪的理由。 →升級設計得非常保守，僅止步於彈夾量與傷害增加而已。 →主角倒地起立時是沒有無敵禎，也沒有翻滾可用，因此被攻速快的敵人打倒你就只能邊吃傷害邊等主角慢慢爬起來。 →很少玩到配樂如此突兀的獨立遊戲，尤其是打Boss的音樂聽起來非常怪。
