Description

Welcome to Little Crossroads, a cozy 2.5D multiplayer life sim designed to feel like a warm hug.

Tucked between rolling meadows, misty mountains, and an explorable ocean full of secrets, the centerpiece of this world is a charming, upgradeable Inn waiting to be filled with laughter and friends.

With effortless drop-in/drop-out multiplayer, you can build a vibrant community or enjoy peaceful solitude at your own pace. Here, classic pastimes like fishing, mining, bug catching, and woodcutting are reimagined as shared, joyful adventures. These activities advance your character’s Runescape-like Skills, with deep, intertwining progression and rewarding payoffs like Gliders, Wings, Magical Diving Bubbles, Pets and more.

The game also features dynamic, cooperative events that challenge players to coordinate and showcase their skills for big rewards… but with low stress. In Little Crossroads, failing during moments of skillful expression never means disaster. Instead, mistakes just send you tumbling or flying through the air in moments of pure comedic joy.

It is a non-competitive celebration of togetherness, curiosity, and the simple magic of sharing a cozy space with friends, old and new alike.

Key Features

  • Seamless Drop-In/Drop-Out Multiplayer with up to 64 Players per world

  • 2.5D Aesthetic: marries a beautifully rendered 3D world with nostalgic pixel art

  • Deep Skill Progression with intertwining, Runescape-like Skill System

  • Characters built in Live2D. Support for streaming your in-game character as a VTuber avatar!

  • Cozy Chaos! Cooperative Skill Events in a party-like atmosphere

  • Decorate and upgrade the Inn, Customize your character with unlockable Cosmetics, or create your own art to proudly display.

About “Red Merle Games”

Hi! We are Terminatus (Term) and Zeraphines (Zera), a husband and wife duo with a combined 20+ years of experience in AAA game development.

We’ve worked on big games like Fortnite and Borderlands, but we always dreamed of making games of our own someday… On our own terms. Games that we are proud of, that leave a positive impact on the world, and, most importantly: games that help heal the stress of modern life.

Little Crossroads is our first step towards achieving our dream.

Thank you for being a part of our journey.
