Neat Corp’s up to something new, right? They’ve got this new VR game coming out called Crossings. If you’re into hacking and slashing—or maybe spell-casting your way through the Norse afterlife?—this might just be your thing. It’s from the folks who brought us the Budget Cuts series.
So, picture this: a co-op roguelite that tosses you into a world that’s constantly changing. It’s like, one second you’re dodging trolls, and the next you’re striking out at ghostly figures. Or something like that. No words needed with other players—just movement, trust, and maybe a bit of sheer panic. Honestly, when they say “wordless VR Co-op,” I can’t help but think of how awkward that might be. Or maybe it’s freeing? Who knows.
You’re not just stuck with the same old moves, thank goodness. You pick up magic spells and weapon upgrades as you go. Think Viking-age blades and axes—y’know, the classics. I just hope that ‘Tooth of Nör’ thing is as cool as it sounds.
Here’s the scene per Neat Corp: You wake up, and it’s cold. And you’re alone. (Of course, you’re alone.) Between life and death, with this world that’s just… well, different every time. Strange creatures pop out of myths—trolls and draugr, the sort. Can almost hear the icy crunch of footsteps echoing in the afterlife.
It’s about timing your real-world moves—blocking, dodging, striking. Like, reading what these mythological bad guys are gonna do next. Anyway, every run you take is different, with marks left behind shaping the next. I mean, standing side-by-side with another player could be either comforting or stressful. Your call.
And get this: you can’t play it yet. No release date. Classic! But you can wishlist Crossings on the Horizon Store and Steam if you’re itching for trust-filled, no-dialogue adventures.
Oh, and they’re dropping a demo during Steam Next Fest, October 14th – 21st. They say it’s a “single-player slice,” so you can see if it’s worth all the quiet camaraderie. Let’s hope the anticipation feels worth it—waiting’s such a tease, huh?
