About the Game

Trapped in an Infinite Furniture Store

You were just looking for a new shelf. Now the doors won't open, the lights are flickering, and something happened to the staff.

The Store Is Closed is a co-op survival horror game for up to 4 players, set inside a furniture megastore that stretches on forever. Scavenge food, break down furniture for parts, and build fortified bases to hold out against what the staff have become: Managers, Biters, TV Golems, and worse.

Underneath the store, SCP Foundation labs hold advanced weapons, keycards, and answers about how this all started. There are pocket dimensions down there, and floating departments above. The deeper you go, the stranger it gets.

Key Features

Built to Survive

Co-op Survival

Go it alone or bring up to 3 friends online. Share resources, call out threats, and try not to get separated when the lights cut out.

Destructible Environment

Smash any piece of furniture for materials, or drag it somewhere useful. Need a barricade? That shelving unit will do.

Day / Night Cycle

During store hours, the staff shamble around and mostly leave you alone. When the lights go out, they come looking for you.

Base Building & Crafting

Build towers, barricades, and safe rooms out of whatever you can find. Craft weapons: sledgehammers, spears, even flamethrowers.

SCP Underground Labs

Hidden labs sit beneath the store floor. Swipe keycards to access better weapons and piece together what the SCP Foundation was doing down here.

Enemy Variety

Managers, Biters, TV Golems, reanimated mannequins. They all hunt differently, and what works on one won't work on another.
