Neon colours, stylized character design, a convenience store setting that gradually stops making sense in the best possible way. Sorry We're Closed arrived in 2025 and it immediately felt like the kind of game that earns a cult following and stays in the conversation. The horror here is psychological and atmospheric rather than combat-intensive, and the compact pacing suits handheld sessions well. It scores slightly lower on raw horror impact than the games above it, but the distinctiveness is genuine. If the rest of this list is feeling too familiar, this is where the list gets strange in a way that rewards the detour.
