Review roundup: we collected published critic scores. We haven’t written our own scored review.

Sorry We’re Closed came out in November 2024 from developer à la mode games and publisher Akupara Games. It’s a survival-horror adventure that borrows its look from the PlayStation era: fixed camera angles, exploration and multiple endings. It also has a “third eye” that reveals a hidden world, and first-person shooting when demons attack.
