Sorry, We're Open is a free role-playing game for PC made by an indie dev by the name of oates. In this horror RPG, players will take on the role of a local supermarket manager. They will need to keep the store running optimally while managing both the day and night shift employees.

Just like Sea of Stars, Sorry, We're Open features bright pixel graphics to go along with its unique premise and combination of game mechanics. This demo version will serve to let players experience the early sections of what the full game will be.

Man your cash registers

Sorry, We're Open is a procedurally-generated CRPG with some horror themes. There are even some roguelike elements thrown in for good measure. It's all tied together in an unlikely and unique setting for this type of game, the supermarket. In it, you play a newly hired manager for some local supermarket chain, and you're tasked with running things and managing employees for both day and night shifts.

The supermarket chain's reputation is riding on you doing a good job. Hire skilled employees, keep stock of your inventory, and ensure shift rotations work smoothly. Other responsibilities include keeping every aisle clean and attending to customer needs and inquiries. As if all of that was not enough, you will also need to deal with strange events and fight supernatural disturbances using the power of money.

Speaking of combat, this is the aspect of the game that you will probably have the hardest time trying to figure out. The difficulty curve can be a bit highat times. Keep at it, though, and you'll master its mechanics soon enough. Now, as mentioned earlier, this is just a demo of the full release as the game is still very much in active development.

Spilled blood on aisle 6

At first, it looks like Sorry, We're Open is trying to do too much with so many gameplay mechanics involved in its design, but they all surprisingly work well together. The supermarket setting is unique and the presentation is charming and quirky. The roguelike elements and seemingly random events and encounters add to the thrill and unpredictability of it all. Highly recommended.
