I purchased this game off vibes alone. And yowzaaa, the vibes did not lead me astray. This game is a certified banger, dredging up every ounce of my 2000s nostalgia and injecting it with modern flair.

PROS - strong character driven story telling that provides the player with choices that feel consequential. BADASS boss music. Flashy character art-styles that pop from darker, industrial backdrops. Certified terrifying GamerTM moments due to a combination of third-person fixed-camera view, first-person arcade-style combat, and third eye mechanics that change your surroundings. The puzzles are also solid for this reason.

CONS (but not really) - At first, I found the back-and-forth between fixed-camera and stationary first-person combat janky. Five hours in, my opinion hasn't changed. The difference is I wouldn't change anything about the mechanics now. I've enjoyed learning to master it. How much tension it creates when I'm swarmed by three or more enemies at once. Some serious 'oh, s***' moments.

OVERALL - The story and characters are the main attraction here IMO, with strong themes exploring love, toxic relationships, and more. Both on the macro and micro level. Between every delve back into abandoned facilities infested with demons, I found myself retracing my steps in the main HUB just to make sure I didn't miss any interactions. I've also save scummed more than I care to admit. All in an attempt to get Michelle the ending she deserves. For games like this, that's how I know I'm hooked.

Lastly, you might have noticed I didn't mention anything about this game being unabashedly LGBTQ+. While this game is most def for the gays, it's also for my straight-white-male-cisgender ass. Sorry We're closed is for the gamers.

Unrealistic. Michelle didn't fold in half immediately upon seeing the Duchess.

I love this game. I love how it looks. I love the story. The combat isn't perfect, but found it way easier with mouse and keyboard. I'm absolutely hooked! You can tell lots of love went into this game.

A queer survival horror game wrapped in the framework of a compelling narrative about demons, angels, hate, love, and talking goats. The Killer7 vibes are off the chart, and it's just so ambitious from the jump - Sorry, We're Closed blew me away with the level of confidence on display in its unique mechanics and concepts.

From the Third Eye mechanic making every environment incredibly rich, to the first-person target practice style combat, to the gut punchingly good bits of prose throughout all the dialogue, à la mode games' small team of developers (this is their DEBUT game???) have made something full of heart that at times exceeds even its own inspirations. Sorry, We're Closed kicks ass.
