Aug 20, 2024Closer The Distance is a hard game to get through. Not because it is difficult but because of the emotional rollercoaster it took me on. Each character has their grief that the player has to help them through, and the interactions between the various characters in Yesterby are intricate and complicated. It’s a powerful narrative, held back by some clunky controls on the console and some lulls in the gameplay. The game is still vital in pushing game narratives in directions that I don’t see too often. This game is worth checking out if you can handle the emotional journey it takes you on.

Aug 1, 2024Closer the Distance is a good narrative game that simulates themes from our daily lives through a heavy emotional component, in addition to a somewhat confusing character management system that can result in the loss of important moments in the story.
