The cosy life of
Animal Crossing
Bugs and fish to catch, a museum to fill, a home to decorate and a pet at your heels, on a gentle rhythm set by the real sun and moon.
Coming soon to iOS & Android
The real world is your kingdom.
Plant flags on your own streets, catch bugs by moonlight, build a house that opens into a world of its own, and march on a rival realm’s castle. One persistent 3D world, on the map of the real Earth.

The idea
Three games we love, on one real map.
Parallel Crossing is a massively multiplayer world laid over the streets of the real Earth, played in 3D on a phone held sideways.
The land grab of
Parallel Kingdom
Flags on the real map, territory that grows street by street, cities and kingdoms, sieges, and an economy the players run.
The adventure of
EverQuest
Classes and abilities, monsters that grow fiercer the farther you roam from town, Diablo-style loot and quests from the people of each city.
- 86monsters, from rabbits to the Leviathan
- 106bugs and fish to catch
- 8classes in four groups
- 21apps on your in-game phone
- 99levels in each of 7 skills
- 12zodiac signs that favour a skill
A tour of the game
Everything happens where you live.
Your neighbourhood, your city and the wilds beyond it are the board. Here is what you can do on it today.
The World
The real map, under the real sky.
The ground is OpenStreetMap: real streets, parks and rivers, street names and all. Night falls where the real sun sets, the moon waxes and wanes on time, and the seasons turn with your hemisphere.
- Start anywhere on land, or with everyone at the shared start in New York
- Wild lands every 2 km, fiercer the farther they lie from town
- Full moons bring rarer catches and more monsters
Territory
Plant a flag. The land is yours.
A flag claims 200 metres of the real map for 3 wood and 2 stone. Plant the next at its edge and they mesh into one territory. Harden them, raise Obelisks to fly between, or Command Towers that shoot whoever comes for your land.
- 10 s to raise a flag
- No cap on how many you plant
- 4 tiers to grow it
Cities & Realms
Belong to something bigger.
Found a city inside a real city’s limits with two friends, and win its weekly mayor race by working its land. Band together into a realm, raise its Castle stone by stone, forge alliances, and when diplomacy fails, roll catapults up to your rivals’ walls.
- Cities in real places, never two of one within 160 km
- Realms with ranks, treasuries and four Castle tiers
- Alliances, wars, sieges, and seats to breach and capture
Adventure
Monsters, loot and eight ways to fight.
86 monsters roam the map, from meadow slimes to dragons, the Kraken and the Leviathan. Pick one of 8 classes, each with two abilities, and hunt for Diablo-style gear: 33 affixes, 15 uniques, and elements that burn, chill, shock and poison.
- Fair PvP: weapons against armour, and fights only by consent or in war
- Monsters up to level 60 in the deep wilds
- Visitors that keep to their months, and rotations that change every month
Home & Life
A life between the battles.
Your House on the map is a door into a pocket dimension that grows room by room, up to 24 rooms. Fill it with furniture, invite friends over, and walk a pet that never leaves your side. Catch 33 bugs and 73 fish for the Museum, level 7 skills to 99, craft, and trade in the Black Markets.
Home, pets and hobbiesLive from the game
The game’s sky is the real one.
The sun moves through the zodiac and favours a skill, the moon changes what comes out at night, and some monsters only visit in their months. This is how it stands in the game right now.
The phone is your menu
21 apps in your pocket.
Your map, bag, character, workshop, city and realm all live on an in-game phone. Tap an app to see what it does.
Map
The real world around you: flags, cities and kingdoms. Plant a flag or travel to one.

Made for your phone
Built for thumbs, ready for anything.
Parallel Crossing is made for a phone held sideways, and everything also works with a keyboard and mouse or a controller.
Touch
- Tap the ground to walk, hold to keep going
- Tap a monster, tree or flag to use it
- Two fingers turn and zoom the camera
- A floating joystick and an action button, if you like
Keyboard & mouse
- WASD or click to walk
- E uses what’s in front of you
- Z and X fire your class abilities
- P opens the phone, M the map
Controller
- Left stick walks, right stick looks
- A uses, B steps back
- LT and RT fire your abilities
- Y opens the phone
Fair play
Money buys looks. Never power.
There is no gear shop: weapons and armour are crafted or won. Echoes, the premium currency, buy outfits, looks for your buildings, furniture and pets, and one convenience, the scroll that changes your class. Any sale on the Black Market can be priced in Echoes, so players who never pay can earn them by trading.
