Use your ethereal abilities from the afterlife to lead your loved ones through
an emotional journey.

From the team behind the critically acclaimed game Orwell, Closer the Distance
follows the tragic journey of Yesterby, a small, cozy village coping with the
sudden passing of one of its townspeople. Explore themes of loss, grief, and
healing as you play Angela, a young girl watching over her loved ones by using
her ethereal abilities to help the community navigate the grieving process after
a tragic accident. Use your supernatural powers to learn the stories of this
small town, discover long-kept secrets, and help the living embrace the power of
carrying on through an emotionally complex tale of love, grief, and hope.

Key citizens of Yesterby are fully simulated with their own emotions, wishes,
memories, and complex relationships that develop over time with or without
influence from Angela. Embark on a remarkable journey in which you hold the key
to helping your community discover that loss can be the catalyst of
transformational growth toward a hopeful future.
