How it feels

A difficult, confusingly dark exploration game where you wander, talk to entities, and piece together a surreal mystery with little guidance.

What players say

Players praise Closer To Home for its surreal, dreamlike atmosphere and a death mechanic that advances the grief-focused story. They highlight skateboarding through the haunting world, the lack of combat, and a strong resemblance to Yume Nikki.
