On SteamVR, CROSSINGS includes visual upgrades like volumetric fog, dynamic shadows, and enhanced lighting and detail meshes. The latest multiplayer update, already available on Meta Quest 3/3S, is now launching alongside the full game on SteamVR.



This lets you seamlessly encounter fellow souls within the same shifting world, communicating through body language and gestures to form bonds through motion. Using the Runestone outside the hub area lets you join others or link up with a friend for two-player co-op.

CROSSINGS features:

Gesture-based spellcasting and animation-driven enemies, creating fluid, reactive combat.

Seamless ambient co-op: encounter others naturally in your world, or connect directly via runestone for two-player co-op.

Norse folklore creatures that come alive with hand-crafted animations and variations.

Run-based exploration and progression through procedurally shifting worlds of mist, forest, ruin, and myth.

About the Developer:
Neat Corp is a small Stockholm-based independent VR games studio comprising a dozen developers, artists and designers. They made their mark in the early VR scene with the classic hit Budget Cuts and its sequel Budget Cuts 2: Mission Insolvency, both stealth action games entirely for virtual reality, which later inspired Half-Life: Alyx. After many years of action and dark humour, they did a 180 and decided it was time for something more bright and cosy with Garden of the Sea before returning to perfect the full Budget Cuts Ultimate experience. Their latest game, roguelike adventure Crossings, is out now on SteamVR and Meta Quest 3/3S.
