In Near and Far, you and your friends embark on an epic journey to find the legendary Last Ruin, a mystical city that, according to lore, holds an artifact capable of granting the heart's deepest desires. Four wanderers, each with their own motivations – be it a lost love, a quest for redemption, or the hope of reuniting a family – set out on this adventure, but will have to contend with their own greed and inner demons along the way. This game, a sequel to the acclaimed Above and Below, invites you to explore various maps, each with unique art and challenges, over a narrative campaign spanning more than ten sessions. Prepare to recruit adventurers, uncover hidden treasures, and compete to be the most storied traveler. In town, you'll need to gather essential supplies like food and equipment for long expeditions. And don't forget your weapons, as the path is fraught with dangers like bandits, living statues, and rusty robots! One of the most striking features is the storybook: at crucial moments in your journey, one of your companions will read a narrative passage, presenting choices that will shape your destiny and create a unique experience with each play. Answer the call of the ruins and begin your own saga!
