So Close

So Close is a co-op ragebait speedrun for 1–4 players. Escape a level that actively plays against you. Your collars keep you together: stray too far and the whole team blows up. One dies, all die — back to the start. How far will you get this time?

WELCOME TO MY SHOW

I'm PROXXY — your Game Master in SO CLOSE. The rules are simple: four of you, one exit, and a level I built personally to break you. Looks doable, right? That's what the last ones thought.

ONE COLLAR. ZERO TOLERANCE

Every one of you wears one of my collars. Stay together and nothing happens. Drift too far from the group... boom. For everyone. With me, teamwork isn't an option. It's a survival condition.

ONE DIES, ALL DIE

No checkpoints in Realism mode. One mistake from anyone, and the whole crew restarts from the beginning. My traps aren't fair. They aren't predictable either. But they are learnable — if you fail often enough.

SO CLOSE. AND NEVER THERE

Learn my level by heart and you'll run it in minutes. Getting there? Hours of screaming, usually one step from the exit. Perfect for speedruns, perfect for streams, terrible for friendships.

FEATURES

• Online co-op for 1–4 players — fail together, win together

• Collar mechanic: keeping your distance is forbidden

• One linear level packed with unfair but learnable traps — the level actively plays against you

• Two modes: Realism (from the start, Streamer Mode) and Easy (from the last checkpoint)

• Built for speedruns: know the traps, beat the time

• Gamemaster PROXXY comments on your failure — live

Wishlist SO CLOSE — PROXXY is already waiting for you.
