Our take on Sorry We're Open
The supermarket-management focus gives the game a narrow thematic identity, leaving less room for the broad exploration and party-based progression found in many RPGs. Its roguelite structure also trades a fixed sequence of events for repeated, procedurally generated shifts.
What is Sorry We're Open?
Take the role of a manager at a local supermarket branch and handle operations across day and night shifts.
The game combines supermarket management with horror RPG gameplay, requiring decisions about employees, store reputation, and the consequences of keeping the business running. Shifts are procedurally generated, while combat uses currency as part of its mechanics. The setting includes customers, mannequins, and workplace conflicts. Content warnings cover flashing and strobing effects, explicit language, blood and gore, smoking, adult themes, workplace violence, union busting, and disturbing images or themes. The game uses a roguelite structure and presents the supermarket as the central setting for management, combat, and horror events.
