Review consensus
Sorry We're Closed is a highly original survival-horror debut that combines PS1-inspired fixed-camera exploration with first-person shooting, relationship-focused dialogue, and a vivid neon aesthetic. Reviewers consistently praised its memorable LGBTQIA+ cast, inventive Third Eye mechanic, strong atmosphere, multiple endings, and unusually thoughtful themes about love, identity, and desire. Combat is satisfying when weak-point aiming works, while puzzles and boss encounters provide welcome variety. Its main drawbacks are uneven controls, occasional difficulty spikes, limited presentation without voice acting, and a few technical compromises on Switch. Overall, it is a stylish, distinctive, and strongly recommended horror adventure.
