Sorry We're Open

This game is amazing, I love it!! Really great atmosphere and story, kinda cozy but in a horror way. PLEASE ADD ACHIEVEMENTS!! There's a lot of secret stuff, so it would be super to have them :D

This one was pretty good, not too scary and pretty easy until towards the end where the puzzle logic goes out the window a little bit, had to dig thru discussions to figure out how to get the last couple items for puzzles. And clearly i wasn't the only one who struggled BUT! big shout out to the dev for answering questions with hints and answers otherwise i would have been SO LOST. More humor than scares here but some pretty cool visuals and a fun time!

gonna make my friends play this game to turn them into socialists

Cute. Lots of bactracking by the end though!

Fun liminal self-contained retail/corporate adventure. I enjoyed the heavy focus on resource-balancing in the combat system, but the ability to avoid most of it with not much downside (as there's no sort of XP or leveling system) does end up trivializing making the choice to enter an encounter instead of taking another option to skip it. Which is a bummer since I think forcing combat could have made for a more engrossing experience but I digress. There's six endings in total to find, although nothing locks you out of any of them, so after collecting everything you can experience them all in a row. Overall, a solid and unique experience that I would recommend.

Sorry We're Open is an amazing game with story and hidden meanings, things that hit hard to the heart if you really look into it. It really puts into perspective what real life, and working can do to someone. It honestly is a story that makes you work through whats happening, makes you question what the manager (the player) even is; all you know is that the game leaves a lot of detail out for the player to fill in. It is a way to make it more meaningful to the player, and/or a way to complete the story and it's meaning in your own mind. This game is very interpretive, and meant for players who seek to find hidden meanings and messages to what the real world is like; this is a must play for anyone that is looking to enlighten themselves with deeper meaning indie games. I recommend this game as it was well made and had love put into it, a story driven to show the player a way of reflecting upon real world issues with corporations. The small details, the layout, the buildings, all the way down to simple things such as the mannequins, or even the forgotten lunch boxes. It is your conscience, see the story as you please.

It's a short RPG, about 8 hours long for the unfamiliar (though luck may make it take more or less), but is a very good way to feel Oates' style. Only complaints I have is that the text crawls are a bit slow and inputs can be buffered, resulting in unwanted choices, as well as accidental interactions after using an items. But I say, pick the demo up if you are not confident, and buy the full game if you want the full story.
