CrossCode

Little Devil inside

“A truly engaging 3D action adventure RPG game where you are thrown into a surreal but somewhat familiar setting with humans, creatures and monsters to interact with, learn and hunt – journey, survive and discover the world that exists beyond.

“This game is not just about killing arch-demons and saving the world.  Take in the atmosphere and live a realistic life in an unrealistic world.  This is a game that tells stories about people with ‘unusual’ jobs such as hunting monsters and what happens in their everyday life doing so.”

Evan’s Remains

“A mystery-thriller puzzle adventure about finding a missing boy: Evan.  The game combines logic-based platform puzzles with narrative inspired by Japanese graphic adventure games.

“Evan, the genius boy, has been missing for years.  One day, a letter signed by him is received, claiming he’s on an uninhabited island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.  Nobody knows why, but he asked specifically for a girl named “Dysis” to go and look for him.  The player will take control of this girl, who we don’t know much about.  As we follow Dysis’s adventure, questions will start to be answered little by little.  All of the little puzzle pieces which seemed unrelated in the beginning will now begin to slowly fit together as the truth is slowly revealed.”
