Narrative-Led Life Simulator Game CLOSER THE DISTANCE Officially Announced

Skybound Entertainment has officially announced the narrative-led life simulator game Closer The Distance by indie developers Osmotic Studios. Through their choices and interactions, players will discover the story of the community of Yesterby and the impact Angela has made on the lives of its diverse cast of characters.

Players take on the role of Angela, who recently passed away in a tragic accident. Angela finds herself in limbo from which she can observe the small cozy village of Yesterby that she once lived in. Quickly discovering that she is connected to the residents, Angela decides to help guide these individuals, finding ways to mend their grief over her own death. Each character that Angela is able to interact with is fully simulated, with their own emotional states, wishes, memories, and intertwined relationships with other residents of the town. These complex and narratively-rich characters develop over time as they interact with each other, with or without Angela’s guidance.

Closer The Distance is planned to launch later in 2023 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
