Crossings

Crossings is a VR roguelite set in a Norse afterlife shaped by death and memory. You wake cold and weaponless in an ever-changing world, where you fight, explore and cross paths with other players. There is no voice chat or usernames; you communicate through presence, movement and trust.

Cross paths

Players appear in the same world seamlessly, without menus or waiting, but each follows their own path. When paths cross, your fates intertwine and amplify what each player brings. You can split apart or stay close; your journeys intertwine, but your destiny remains your own. Body language, combat and attention let you communicate and fight together without speaking.

Fight and cast spells

You block, dodge, strike and counter enemies in real time. Your body is both your weapon and your defense. The arsenal includes swords, axes, clubs and bows, with many variants; you can switch freely between melee weapons, your bow and spells.

Gesture-based magic lets you cast fire, ice, roots, lightning, poison and wind. You upgrade the spell system during each run and can chain powers with weapon combos or other effects. You also combine weapons with trinkets, spells and consumables.

Shape each run

Manage resources and adjust your build with potions that restore health and mana, and trinkets that provide passive boosts or unusual effects. Run modifiers let you alter damage, status effects, elemental power, drop rates, loot rarity, enemy rewards, mana regeneration, spell behavior, resource costs, enemy types, spawn patterns and world conditions. Some upgrades are straightforward; others are unpredictable and risky.

Between runs, you choose a starting weapon, equip an outfit and select an altar offering. Each offering grants a unique modifier, sometimes with a tradeoff. You can also discover new paths, side areas and secrets. Each death opens a new branch of the story, and you learn from each fall as you push further.

An changing world

The world reshapes each time you return. The forest folds in new directions, and caves can open in new places; even a familiar location will have changed.
