‘Budget Cuts’ Studio Unveils Norse-Inspired Roguelite ‘Crossings’ for Quest & PC VR Headsets

Alright, imagine this: Neat Corp, yeah those guys who brought Budget Cuts and all, just decided to whip up this wild VR adventure called Crossings. It’s like the Norse afterlife but with a twist, because who doesn’t love a good twist, right? Anyway, picture yourself casting spells and swinging massive Viking weapons, like you’re in some epic saga. Spells, swords, and chaos, honestly sounds like Tuesday evening to me.

So, what’s the deal with Crossings, you ask? Well, it’s a co-op roguelite. (I don’t totally pretend to know what that means, but it sounds fun enough!) It’s some kind of never-ending quest where you’re battling through a mythical world. You and other lost souls. No chatty intercoms, just you guys going full Viking against trolls and draugr. I mean, can you even imagine? I’d probably trip over my own feet first round.

Neat Corp gives this spiel, something about waking up in some kind of limbo land, right? All Norse-inspired chaos where everything shifts around. You’re armed to the teeth with weapons like the ominous-sounding ‘Tooth of Nör’—I can’t even think about it without picturing this massive tooth being swung around. Trolls, ghosts, all the beings you’d think of when someone says “Norse mythology.” It’s like one of those old tales coming to life. You get to block, dodge, and strike, which honestly sounds like what I do daily trying to avoid responsibilities!

There’s a real emphasis on how you have to physically get into it. Movement’s key – no lazy gaming here. And those decisions you make, each one leaves a mark. Kinda deep, right? Makes me reconsider all those lasagna-laden choices I’ve made lately.

So yeah, no official date yet for when this thing’s dropping. However, you can start fantasizing about losing yourself in this world by wishlisting Crossings on the Horizon Store for Quest or on Steam if you’re into PC VR. Fun fact, there’s gonna be a demo out during Steam Next Fest from October 14th to the 21st. A little taste of the chaos, you know? Single-player, giving you just enough to want more. Probably enough magic and mayhem to hold you over until the full deal lands. Keep those swords ready – you’ve been warned!
