PostsThankfully, we have a handful of tips that can help you get started and finish strong. The people of Yesterby need help moving on after a terrible tragedy, and only you can guide them towards a better tomorrow. Here's how you can make the most of your time in the quaint village of Yesterby!
Use The Pause Button
Time moves on, and you won't want to waste a moment. The pause button allows you to stop and think without wasting daylight hours. Use it as often as you need to so you can check in on villagers, look over your options, and make decisions for the people of Yesterby.
Similarly, you can speed up time as well. This helps reduce the time spent watching villagers work on time-consuming tasks and it can speed up the long walks across the village to reach new locations.
Pay Attention To Needs
Every character in Closer The Distance has various needs that must be met. Aside from hunger and sleep, there are different needs based on each individual's personality. Meeting these needs is the best way to get things done.
Specific needs can have an impact on the story. For example, Zek's need for accomplishment will lead him to reject tasks and projects if it's too low. Giving him a confidence boost will help him find his goal in life.
Prioritize The Villagers
Unfortunately, you can't help everyone. Some villagers, like Pia, are determined not to get along with others. Spreading yourself thin will leave everyone hurting, and you'll feel burnt out.
Instead, focus on one or two villagers at a time. You can't make everyone's dreams come true right away, but you can work slowly to ensure a few of them find peace after the tragedy.
Keep An Eye On The Time
Some wishes can't be worked on at night, and everyone will be sent to bed around midnight. Staying up too late will have a negative impact on their needs. If you have time-sensitive tasks to complete, be sure to keep an eye on the time so you don't run out the clock.
Also, different characters wake up at different times. For example, Galya is usually the first person up at dawn and Zek will be up closer to noon.
Check Your Relationship Status
You can check the relationships between each villager at any point by using the sidebar. Maintaining healthy relationships is important as they are what holds Yesterby together.
You'll want to prioritize maintaining these relationships because they can help you in a pinch. Even when things look bleak, a strong bond between two people can turn things around for the better. For example, if someone contemplates leaving Yesterby, a powerful relationship can convince them otherwise.
Make Decisions Carefully
With how Closer The Distance saves your progress, you won't be able to reload or undo mistakes. Any decisions you make are permanent and must go forward. Your decisions will also impact the people of Yesterby and what their futures hold.
Will you convince Zek to work on the sculpture or will he give up entirely? Will the Boat Lodge be finished on time or will Melville be let go from the project? Every action has consequences.
Keep Moving Forward
No matter what you do, keep moving forward. Don't dwell on the past and focus on the tasks you can get done. Cheering up the village and helping them move on is the primary goal, so it's important to make progress towards it.
Some villagers will resist this, especially Pia, but understand that each character grieves the loss of Angie differently. Some will need more support than others. If a character sends you away and doesn't want to talk, try coming back later when they're in a better mood.
Get To Know Yesterby
Everyone in Yesterby has a story, and they all tie together to create the history of the town. Getting to know the characters will reveal more of their pasts and how they connect to their futures. Knowing more about them can provide new actions and wishes for you to use in your quest to unite Yesterby.
Not everyone will welcome you rummaging through their painful memories, but being nearby and consistent will help persuade them to open up and share. The best way to unite the village is to understand how all the pieces of the past fit together and lead to the future of the boat lodge.
