About the Game


Closer Than You Know (CTYK) is a cozy, fresh take on the familiar point-and-click adventure games. Packed with story and puzzles, CTYK is a great introduction to point-and-clicks while also being fun for fans of nostalgic point-and-click adventure games.

Young Sam has a spark of creativity burning inside her, but Granican law has deemed any such talents “dangerous” and “a threat to the Granican way of life.” While imprisoned for the crime of “invention” Sam breaks free and discovers the seed of an ancient magic that starts her on a quest to Earth where--with the help of a friendly Praying Mantis--she collects fragments of Hope to restore life to her home planet.




A young girl with the spark of hope! Headstrong, clever, and a little too curious for her own good, Sam is the hero of our story!

Behind every great hero is a great sidekick. Thoughtful, constructive, and kind, Mantis is a whole lot of wisdom in a bug-size package!

The mysterious former King of Granica, who after vanishing without a trace, has seemingly left his magic all over the world...
