Southern Cross

Keeping it a small pleasant thing

Southern Cross has no money in it, but any game can stop feeling optional. A few things we believe, and a few places to go if that happens.

What we build in

There is no daily streak, no login reward and no notification that guilts you back. The game does not know who you are, so it cannot miss you.

Simple habits

Play in sittings, not in background. If you are tracing stars to avoid something else, the game is doing the wrong job. Sleep beats level nine.

If any game stops feeling optional

There is no money in this game, so the usual money-harm services are not the right door. If play is crowding out sleep, work or people, talk to someone: Lifeline is on 13 11 14, 24 hours a day, and Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636. Both are free and confidential.

For parents

There is nothing to spend in this game and no chat with strangers. The one thing worth knowing is the email form: it exists only to send download links, and we would rather it not be used by under-18s.
