Hey Yesterbyrians! We just released our first major patch for the game that improves multiple aspects of the game and fixes some smaller issues. To highlight a few things from the patch: Overlapping conversations should be a thing of the past now - for the most part at least. Also, we included more icons which should help understand why certain interactions are unavailable at the moment. Zek now has a bit more time to take care of everything before he absolutely wants to leave. And Laul no longer has to practice in the dark - he now has fairy lights around his trailer!

Closer the Distance combines engaging sim gameplay with a gripping narrative

My first rendezvous with Closer the Distance was back during June’s Steam Next Fest, where I spent an hour exploring the quiet town of Yesterby and getting to know an array of distinct, authentic characters as they all deal with a heart-wrenching tragedy; one of their dear inhabitants — a friend and relative — passing away. It’s an understandably solemn start, and one that saw me keen to carve out space to breathe once my time with the demo came to an end. But I was desperate to jump back in and get to know Yesterby — and its delightfully human cast — despite the pressure of this dour starting
