Closer in the Dark

In Closer in the Dark, you join Ivy and Max on a haunting Halloween night where flickering candlelight is their only refuge against encroaching shadows. 

As Ivy, you’ll guide Max through his deepest fears, choosing responses that may either strengthen or strain their bond. With each choice, the darkness around them changes, mirroring the impact of Ivy’s words. 

Will your support bring them closer together, or will doubts linger in the shadows? 

This short visual novel explores connection, vulnerability, and the power of empathy, with multiple endings that reflect how deeply you connect—or disconnect—them in the night’s stillness.
