For those of you who’ve been following its journey, the long wait is over:CrossCodeis finally out! And we’ve got 10 Steam copies to give away, courtesy of Radical Fish Games.

CrossCodeis a 16-bit era-inspired action RPG set in the distant future. You play as Lea, a player in the futuristic MMO CrossWorlds as she logs in to find the pieces of her memory hidden within the game’s code. As Lea recovers more of her memories in the game world a larger scheme unravels, revealing the true reasons the game exists.

God, 16-bit RPGs are gorgeous.

For your chance to win, comment below with the long-lost memory you had to recover in CrossWorlds. After 900+ hours of grinding and spamming the “Macarena” dance emote, I finally remembered where I left my keys. They were in my pocket the whole time! That’s thirty-seven and a half days I’ll never get back.

Our 10 winners will be randomly chosen on Wednesday, September 26. Make sure you comment using a Dtoid account that has your current email address on file. Also, tell your friends about this contest because you’re a nice person and you want others to win things, too.
