Sorry We're Closed News

Hey!

We released our original demo back in October 2023 and it was missing many improvements that were included in the full game along with the updates we've been adding since launch.

A new demo is available today that includes:

• French, Spanish and Japanese language options
  
• Improved controller support
  
• Optional tank controls
  
• Aim assist options
  
• Difficulty modes
  
• Accessibility settings
  
• Remappable controls
  
• New painted character portraits
  
• Updated character dialogue typewriter and vocal SFX
  
• Improved performance
  
• Several bug fixes and adjustments
  

Please note: saves from the original demo are not compatible with this new version as we've had many changes with how data is saved behind the scenes.

[h3]Can't launch the new demo?[/h3]
Try closing and reopening Steam, we needed to update some of the launch options for the new version and I believe these come from the Steam client rather than the demo file download.

[h3]Access the original 2023 demo[/h3]
We've added a public beta branch "2023 Demo" that can be selected for the game if you'd like to play the original demo.

If you were part way through the 2023 demo and would like to continue without restarting then you can enable the beta branch and your saves will still be there for you if you're playing on the same device.

To opt into the 2023 demo branch:

• Right click on the demo in your Steam Library
  
• Select "Properties"
  
• Open the "Beta" tab
  
• Under "Beta Participation" select "2023 Demo"
  
• Steam should now automatically download the 2023 demo
  

Thank you

Hey!

It is a dream come true to have Sorry We're Closed launch on consoles. It's available now for Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.

Alongside this the console launch we released a major update for PC players with new modes, additional painted portraits for several characters and a host of bug fixes.

The engineering team at Akupara Games have worked closely with us on the ports and we are delighted with the results. Performance optimisations from the console versions, along with adjustments for controller sensitivity have been brought over to PC version with yesterday's update.



We have an extra treat to share as we've partnered with Serenity Forge for a premium physical version that's available to pre-order now for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5. The physical version is region free and worldwide shipping is available.
