✓ Both are third-person Action RPGs — sharing deep RPG systems, adventure storytelling and puzzle design

≠ Where it differs: brings ranged combat, while skipping action RPG combat

The hero is a policeman, talented and devoted to duty. But there is a clarification - this is a dead policeman, killed because of his work, but he did not leave the world, he turned into a ghost and did not lose his passion for investigations. A hero can do many things in our world, but not all.

Sorry We're Closed is a nostalgic, single-player survival horror game. Enjoy atmospheric environments driven by classic fixed camera angles and the thrill of arcade-style first person combat. Enter the perilous demon world, collecting items and managing your resources to stay alive.

Where it drifts furthest from Batman: Arkham Knight: combat.

✓ Nearly identical: deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and puzzle design.

≠ Missing: fighting mechanics.

Open-world traversal built around electricity: you climb, grind rails and fight in the same continuous motion, and it rarely asks you to stop moving. Combat stays readable even when the screen fills up. The karma system is the weak part — choices are signposted as obviously good or evil, so the moral framing lands flatter than the moment-to-moment play.
