Closer The Distance Gameplay
In Closer The Distance, players step into the role of Angela, a spirit tasked with influencing the lives of Yersterby’s residents following her death in an accident. The game employs a point-and-click system, allowing players to interact with the town and its people.
As Angela, players can observe characters, guide their actions, and decide their priorities real-time. The game’s non-linear structure allows the story to unfold organically, with or without player intervention. Characters continue their routines, engage in conversations, and navigate their grief independently if left uninfluenced. The gameplay highlights the delicate balance between stepping in to help and allowing individuals to find their own way forward.
