Sorry We’re Closed is a stylish survival-horror adventure from developer à la mode games and publisher Akupara Games. It looks like a PlayStation-era game and has a lens mechanic that shows a hidden world. Once you claim it, it stays in your library for good.

Prime Gaming (Amazon Luna): October claims

Prime members can claim these games to keep. Amazon announced the drops on these dates:

  • Oct 29: Trash Goblin (Epic Games Store code), Kiborg (Amazon Games app)
  • Oct 22: Ad Infinitum (Epic), Time Travel: Escape Room (Legacy Games)
  • Oct 15: Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong (Epic), Caravan SandWitch (Amazon Games app)
  • Oct 8: Conarium, WarBreeds (GOG)
  • Oct 1: Five Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pit (Epic), DOOM (GOG)

Amazon’s announcement doesn’t list end dates. Store listings suggest the Oct 1 games expire around Nov 4, so claim those first. Always check the end date on the claim page itself. Our Prime Gaming guide has the details.

What we left out

We saw reports that a Steam game was free until Oct 31. The official Steam store was showing it at full price when we checked, so it isn’t listed here. If it isn’t confirmed, it doesn’t go on the list.

New games are coming too. Our release calendar for November 2026 to March 2027 shows what is worth saving for.
