Free on Epic: Sorry We’re Closed Is Yours to Keep Until Nov 5

By Greedy Gary · October 29, 2026

Sorry We’re Closed is free to keep on the Epic Games Store until Thursday, November 5 at 11 AM ET. It’s a story-driven survival horror game about demons, angels and what happens when both sides collide, with classic fixed-camera exploration and arcade-style shooting. Steam players rate it Overwhelmingly Positive (98% of 1,682 reviews). Claim it once and it stays in your Epic library for good.

It’s the only free game on Epic this week, so there’s no pick-and-choose: grab it before the window closes. Steam currently sells it for $17.49 (30% off its $24.99 list price), so the Epic claim saves you the full price.

Free · Steam lists it at $24.99 (currently $17.49). Free to keep on the Epic Games Store until Thursday, November 5, 2026 at 11:00 AM ET.

Sorry We’re Closed came out on PC on November 14, 2024. Per its Steam page, you play Michelle, who uses her Third Eye to see between worlds, uncover secrets and solve puzzles. It’s a mix of classic fixed-camera exploration and arcade-style shooting.

Best for: fans of retro survival horror, fixed-camera exploration and stylish, story-first indie games.

How It Plays: Explore, Solve, Shoot

Per its store description, the game blends classic fixed-camera exploration with arcade-style shooting. Michelle’s Third Eye lets her see between worlds, which is how you find secrets and solve puzzles. Expect a retro-flavored horror game rather than a modern open-world one.

Reviews and Price History

• Steam reviews at time of posting: Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam (98% of 1,682 reviews). Recent reviews are Very Positive (96% of 26).
• Critics at time of posting: no Metacritic score listed on its Steam page, so user reviews are the guide.
• Price history: free is the lowest price any game can have, so today’s Epic claim matches the all-time low. For comparison, Steam sells it for $17.49 right now (30% off) and the regular price is $24.99.

Who It’s For

• You’ll like it if: you enjoy retro-style survival horror, fixed cameras and a story with demons and angels.
• Maybe skip it if: you want a long open-world game or a modern first-person horror experience.
• PC needs (Steam minimum): 64-bit Windows 10 or newer, an Intel i3 or equivalent, 4 GB RAM, integrated graphics (Intel UHD or AMD Radeon) and 2 GB of space.

How to Claim It Before Nov 5

1. Open the Sorry We’re Closed page on the Epic Games Store and sign in (a free Epic account works).
2. Click Get, then Place Order. The total should read $0.00.
3. Do it before Thursday, November 5, 2026 at 11:00 AM ET (8:00 AM PT, 16:00 UTC). After that it goes back to full price, but anything you claimed stays yours.

Gary’s Take

Easy grab. A 98% Steam rating for a game that costs nothing this week is the kind of deal the free-games shelf exists for, especially if you like horror. It’s tied to your Epic account, and the claim ends November 5. (I haven’t played it; this is based on the store pages and its reviews.)

Keep digging: Hexologic, a free Steam puzzler you can also keep right now, Home, a pixel-art horror adventure that was free on Epic last week, Sker Ritual, last week’s co-op horror freebie and more free games.
