Closer

ABOUT

Closer is a game for two people: to start you must stand close together, and to succeed you must work together.

Closer uses a Kinect to track the movement of the players' bodies, and draws a single shared playable character exactly at the space between the players, growing and shrinking with their proximity and moving as they move.

The players must navigate difficulties, win points, and avoid death together, as each player has exactly equal control in the outcome of the game.

WHERE TO PLAY

You can't really play this at home, it requires some setup.

Closer has been played at A MAZE. (South Africa), ąяţǥąʍ€$ (Berlin, Germany), Incubate Arcade (Netherlands), and Talk & Play (Berlin, Germany), Plan - B Activist Festival (Kharkiv, Ukraine), Beta Public (London, England), CodeMotion (Berlin, Germany), Girls Make Games Berlin, Women Who Code Berlin, PLAY Creative Gaming Festival (Hamburg, Germany), and 33rd Chaos Communication Congress (Hamburg, Germany).
