“Crossing Souls”: A Childhood RPG by Fourattic
Amazing Cartoon Art Sold Separately!
The moment I laid eyes on this trailer I knew I had to have it. The beginning evokes the same feeling I got the first time I saw "Dragon’s Lair" being played. The developers describe the game as "an Action RPG with orthogonal 2D view with an 80s looking style," and I think that really hits the nail on the head.
The game centers around a group of friends who stumble across a mysterious artifact that grants them the ability to move between planes of existence: the living and the dead. The game play and art style is influenced by games like "The Legend of Zelda," and most recently, "Hyper Light Drifter:"

Crossing Souls Reignites Your Inner Child In 2016
- Devolver Digital and Fourattic Bring You An Old School Action Adventure Game About the Childhood Adventures You Always Wanted -
Seville, Spain
Fourattic is making its debut with a charming new action adventure game that will make you long for your childhood today as Crossing Souls is announced from the youthful gents at Devolver Digital. Crossing Souls takes us all back to the good old days of 1986 in California and tells the incredible story of a group of friends who will live the summer of their lives after uncovering a mysterious artifact whose powers they don’t fully understand but will change their lives forever.
These remarkable kids will defy the laws of nature to interact between two planes of reality: life and death. When their curiosity triggers a series of unexpected events, their adventures will lead them away from home and everything they know into dark, secret governmental conspiracies – including a mysterious U.S. Army general with his own nefarious plans.
Developed with the power of conscious wistfulness, Crossing Souls introduces players to five different characters, and you will be tasked with mixing each one’s unique abilities and weapons to thoughtfully overcome all the challenges, obstacles, and enemies ahead of them. Crossing Souls sets players in a unique but familiar world, with the options to interact with hundreds of NPCs from different periods of time, decipher puzzles, explore secret places and unearth clandestine treasures.
And through their adventures, mishaps, discoveries and lessons, this band of accidental heroes will have an artifact of invaluable power: the Duat stone. With this artifact they will be able to connect to the death plane and the thousands of souls that exist there, awaiting their trial to be able to finally rest in peace. But be careful, you’re not the only ones who know about the stone and want what powers it can grant…
