Sorry We’re Closed Is Free on Epic Games Store for a Limited Time

100% off

PC players can claim the retro-styled survival horror game Sorry We’re Closed at no cost for a limited time through the Epic Games Store. The offer arrives shortly before Halloween and gives horror fans another reason to explore its unusual mix of classic and modern ideas.

What is Sorry We’re Closed?

Sorry We’re Closed follows Michelle, who is trying to escape a curse placed on her by a demon. Along the way, she becomes involved in the lives of her London neighbours, with those relationships influencing the game’s story.

Its design combines fixed-camera exploration with arcade-inspired first-person shooting. A choice-driven narrative and multiple endings add replay value, while the main campaign takes roughly eight hours to complete.

For readers interested in the broader arcade and gaming news scene, the game is also a neat example of how contemporary independent releases continue to draw from older arcade and survival-horror traditions.

Why horror fans are taking notice

Sorry We’re Closed launched in November 2024 and has attracted nearly 1,700 “Overwhelmingly Positive” player reviews on Steam. Players have highlighted its style, charm, world-building, character writing and willingness to experiment.

One player praised its style, charm, innovation, world-building and character dynamics, while another described it as a “Survival Horror Queer Dating Sim Dungeon Crawler.”

That combination makes the game a particularly interesting fit for players who enjoy atmospheric adventures as much as action. Its branching choices and alternative endings also encourage a second playthrough after the first conclusion.

How to claim the free game

To add the game to your library, sign in to the Epic Games Store, open the Sorry We’re Closed listing and complete the claim process. The promotion ends at 11 a.m. EST on Thursday, 5 November 2026.

Once claimed, it can sit alongside other digital games or complement a dedicated arcade machine collection. Players building a smaller setup may also want to browse compact bartop arcades, while those planning a custom cabinet can compare DIY arcade kits.
