Closer the Distance is a slice-of-life sim that tells a story about the connections between family and friends in the face of tragedy. Following a fatal car accident, players take on the role of Angela, a young girl from the town of Yesterby, who finds herself watching over her loved ones as they navigate the grieving process.
You can unearth long kept secrets, repair strained relationships, and help your loved ones move on.
Closer the Distance is one of the most ambitious projects I ever worked on. I was in charge of the sound design.
Ambiences
Welcome to Yesterby, the village in which the residents of Closer the Distance reside. It’s a village inspired by scandinavian landscapes, so I spent a few weeks in Iceland to record authentic flora and fauna to make Yesterby come alive.
Musical Sounddesign
The music in Closer the Distance is written by the talented Felix Barbarino and singer songwriter Rory Charles. There are some moments in the game, where the sounddesign takes elements from the music to increase tension before a music piece starts.
