Workplace Horror | |
| Sorry, We're Open (Video Game) / int_12c9bd5b | comment |
Workplace Horror: As with several of oates' previous games. You're a manager in a dilapidated store, trying to keep your employees alive in the face of strange things in the darkness. | |

Early Game Hell | |
| Sorry, We're Open (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: In your first few shifts, you have very few employees, not much money, and few ways to reliably heal. As you pick up bags of money, get paid for your shifts, and hire more employees, it becomes easier to survive and explore. | |

Title Drop | |
| Sorry, We're Open (Video Game) / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: After killing the Corporate Entity, you return through your now-closed store to face a horde of the General Public. When you confront them, you have two choices: tell them "Come in, we're open," in which case the customers take everything from you, including your very existence; or tell them "Sorry, we're closed," in which case they break into the store and trample you to death. Or, once you've regained your humanity, you can say "Sorry, We're Open," which causes you to fight them as the Final Boss. | |

The Blank | |
| Sorry, We're Open (Video Game) / int_1b5c9c48 | comment |
The Blank: While initially it seems like the Manager is just a Featureless Protagonist, dialogue with Those Two Guys reveals that they really don't have eyes or a mouth. Apparently this is common to employees of the store, and is just an accepted fact of life. | |

Those Two Guys: In the parking lot of the Plaza, you meet two people hanging out and talking about donuts. They then show up at the other stores as well, providing some commentary on you and the company you work for. | |

Cast from Money | |
| Sorry, We're Open (Video Game) / int_3bd958f2 | comment |
Cast from Money: Essentially the main mechanic of the game. You get paid at the end of every successful shift, but virtually every attack your employees can perform costs money; the only major move that doesn't, "Goof Off," hurts the enemy but also causes damage directly to the Manager. | |

Improvised Weapon: The "Trash" items you pick up can be discarded for a few dollars, or used in combat. In a fight, they either damage the enemy for a small amount (and possibly Nauseate them), heal the Manager, or give you a few dollars. | |

Greater-Scope Villain: After killing the Corporate Entity, you then leave and head back through your own store, which is now more dark and sinister, with the lights failing and signs blocking other paths. Once you reach the main doors, you see a horde of people banging on the doors: the General Public. They're the last boss of one of the endings, and in a metaphorical sense they are the origin of all this horror—after all, a company can't exist unless they have someone to sell to. | |

Remote Body: This is the case with the protagonist themselves, and every other Manager. When you go into your office, you see your own shriveled, motionless husk of a body behind the computer, just barely alive. The "Manager" you're controlling seems to be made out of something like plastic, possibly even one of the ubiquitous mannequins seen around the stores. | |

The fruit is creepy and seems to breathe, but it also heals you with no side effects. Give them enough, and they simply disappear, satisfied. | |
