A heartwarming multiplayer life sim from the creators of Cozy Grove, with a free demo available until November 9
Spirit Crossing, a multiplayer cooperative life simulation game from the creators of Cozy Grove, Spry Fox, will participate in the Steam October Next Fest with a free Chinese-language demo. Players are invited to step into a fantastical land connecting the human and spirit worlds, explore the wilderness, meet companions, and build a warm home together.
This Next Fest runs from 1:00 AM on October 20 to 1:00 AM on October 27 (Beijing Time). The Spirit Crossing demo will remain available after the festival until November 9, giving players more time to experience this journey of exploration, friendship, and shared living. The game is scheduled for release in November.
Find your place between two worlds
Spirit Crossing takes place in a land caught between the human and spirit worlds, battered by relentless storms. As travelers, players will make their home in a vast, ever-changing world, meeting other players, bears, and mysterious spirits, gradually forging connections along the way.
Collect rare flowers, join fishing contests, or play a tune for passersby on a rooftop at sunset—adventure isn't just about destinations; it's hidden in every unexpected encounter.
Build a village together, weather the storms together
Join an "outpost" managed collectively by players, working with partners to build, decorate, fortify, and maintain your home. You can also visit other outposts, meet new friends, and bring back decoration ideas discovered along the way to your own little corner.
When storms sweep in, players must work together to protect the land. Repair the outpost beacons through acts of kindness and offerings, turning your collective efforts into a force against the storm.
Let friendships blossom slowly, listen to stories with kindness
In Spirit Crossing, friendships grow at their own pace. As your bonds with other players deepen, interactive features such as close-range chat, duo emotes, teleportation, and gifting will gradually unlock, adding more joy to your shared life.
Along your journey, you'll also encounter humans and spirits in need. Offering a snack, completing a small request, or simply providing patient companionship may help them open up, sharing items and stories that reveal the unique ways of communication in this world.
