Review

Closer the Distance takes players on an emotional journey that delves deep into the importance of human connections amidst the aftermath of tragedy. Playing as Angela, you are tasked with influencing the lives of those you once knew in the quaint town of Yesterby, which adds a refreshing twist to the genre. The game excels in storytelling, successfully evoking a plethora of emotions as you navigate through the touching narrative. The art style is mesmerizing, drawing you into its serene, small-town charm. However, while the game boasts a profound message, some players might find its replay value limited after the first playthrough. Moreover, there are moments where the pacing drags, which could disrupt the immersion. The controls can also feel clunky at times, making specific interactions less fluid. Nevertheless, Closer the Distance remains a compelling experience that resonates deeply with anyone who has faced loss and the necessity of moving forward.
