Skybound Entertainment unveiled Closer The Distance, a narrative-led life simulator from award-winning indie studio Osmotic Games. It made the announcement during Microsoft’s ID@Xbox Showcase.
And Skybound and Serenity Forge announced they will ship Homestead Arcana on April 21.
In Closer The Distance, players take on the role of Angela, who finds herself in limbo after a tragic accident. She is able to observe the small cozy village that she once lived in, discovering that she is connected to the residents and can help influence their lives and help them mend after her 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.
