About Drowning Cross

Jeremy's partner Leo disappears after a car crash. As Jeremy dives into Leo's past in order to find him, he can't quite shake the feeling that there's a lot more going on than a simple vehicle-related accident. Jeremy's not gonna just sit around and wait. The night is still young and there's a mystery to be solved!

A free, classic Point and Click Adventure

This game is styled after old pre-2000s adventure games. This means bottomless pockets for any items you deem useful, dialog options and a story to click your way through. This time around you can even have thoughts in your inventory. Don't question it. Just throw your thoughts and items at any people you meet. Unlike in real life, talking to other humans isn't hard in this game! So why go outside when you can play this?

What's in this game?
  • Over 30 scenes (or 'rooms' if you will) to explore
  • Over 12 other characters to interact with
  • Maybe your boyfriend will tag along a bit later
  • 320x180 res - fullscreen or windowed, with various visual options (aka retro modes, even a slightly anti-aliased one)
  • Some adult themes
  • All original content
  • A weird story with mystery/supernatural elements
  • Two endings
  • No dead ends
  • Some additional stuff to do if you wanna be extra nice

But... why?

This game is a collection of things tumbling around in my head for various reasons. It's unfiltered and raw and as much as a mess as I am. So... enjoy, if possible!

It's an okay short point and click game, I like the little story it has. I just wish the protagonist would run or walk faster when we press the button twice to where we want him to go like in other point and click games. The achievements work, the game doesn't take very long to complete and it takes less than 3 hours, I just have this playtime cause I forgot to save at the end.

A pesar de ser un juego muy corto, es una pena que sea gratis. Buen pixelart, humor, música, misterio..

Игра "Drowning Cross" погружает в мрачный детектив с элементами хоррора. Сильная сторона — напряженная атмосфера и запутанный сюжет с неоднозначными персонажами. Геймплей, основанный на исследовании и принятии решений, держит в напряжении до финала. Хотя графика может показаться простоватой, это с лихвой компенсируется глубокой историей, где каждый выбор имеет вес. Незабываемое, тревожное приключение.

It's very charming. Sure, the gameplay gets a bit tedious after awhile, but the artstyle and the music really adds to the calming, mysterious atmosphere of walking alone aimlessly at night. I like the plot so far, even though I can sense a heartbreak closing in on me.
