Pre-release page. Planned for November 16, 2026. Data here comes from the Steam page, the demo and official developer posts, and each page says which version it reflects. We'll update it for the full release.
Spirit Crossing combines home building and exploration with a shared online Village. These explanations use Spry Fox’s pre-release store and support information; the launch version may differ.
Homes and Waystations
The Steam page describes designing a home, from a cottage to a castle, and decorating it. Spry Fox’s support center distinguishes a personal home from a Waystation: a Waystation is a community home shared by a small group of players. A Village also includes a central hub with shops and quests, plus a shared Wilderness for exploration and activities.
Building and Home Prestige
In playtest 15.0, the personal home moved to a mountain peak in the Entry Lands. Building pieces let players add rooms, change the original shape and take parts apart. Introductory quests teach build mode, furniture crafting and installing recipes. Wall decorations can overlap, and furniture can be placed closer to walls.
Home Prestige is a separate progression track. Spry Fox describes earning progress through Mr. Kit’s decorating challenges, clearing land and receiving likes from visitors. The bulletin board near the trolley tracks progress; levels raise decoration limits and unlock items in Roomie’s shop. In 15.1, wallpaper and flooring unlocks, recipe bundles and furnished room modules were added. These are playtest details, not a guarantee of launch limits or prices.
Waystation activity
Your personal home and the shared Waystation serve different purposes. Playtest 14.9 introduced individual Waystation Bounties toward shared goals: the contributor receives a small reward, and members can redeem a reward once the goal is completed. The 15.4 notes describe simplified communal crafting stations, restricted to basic Common and Uncommon recipes at that point; seasonal recipes were excluded. The 15.1 notes describe beacon energy and contributions in the Waystation, including merging inactive groups when contributions cannot maintain the beacon. To change Waystations in that version, visit another and speak to Eudora. Check the current in-game instructions before moving: playtest balancing can change.
Fluffalo, fishing and gathering
A fluffalo is a flying pet. Cozy Club members can customize theirs, according to the store page. The game also features sky fishing and gathering resources; you can share activities with other players or spend time exploring. The developer has not supplied a complete launch inventory or resource progression table in the sources used here, so exact recipes and unlock costs are not listed.
Gardening and decorating
In playtest 15.0, potted plants had individual needs, and some fragile plants could die if left unwatered too long. Visitors could help by fertilizing plants or playing music to them. Water-themed decorations such as fountains and sprinklers could act as water sources. The plant cap was tied to Home Prestige and was subsequently adjusted, so check the current limit in game rather than planning around an old number.
In 15.1, players could check the crafting table to see which recipe bundle unlocked a particular item, then buy bundles from Roomie’s shop. The same update added furnished room modules for a living room, bathroom and kitchen. These are useful starting points for a home, but availability and costs at launch have not been confirmed.
Join a friend’s Village
A Village is a shared world, similar to a realm or shard. You can see and interact with players in the same Village. Spry Fox says your Village is assigned automatically when you start; to join a friend elsewhere, use their invite code to change Villages. Check the linked official support article for current instructions and any consequences before moving.
Friendship and chat
Other players initially appear as shadows. Spry Fox says an introduction or a shared activity can reveal a player in color. Its chat support article says introducing yourself reaches Friendship Level 1 and unlocks proximity text chat with that person; this applies from version 14.9. Other friendship features unlock as a relationship develops. You can opt out of meeting strangers and use the support center’s block, mute and report guidance.
Events and meeting people
Spry Fox’s 15.4 playtest notes announced Feast of Bears, a seasonal celebration beginning September 30, 2026, themed around the approaching bear hibernation. It was a dated playtest event, not confirmation that its rewards or timing will be identical at launch or in future years. The playtest event included harvesting rainbow corn, building offering tables and a Waystation Bear Feast Fund with additional rewards. Check the current in-game event information before planning around a reward.
World events give players opportunities to participate together. Version 14.9 added Friend Gems from cooperative harvesting and shared world events. The 15.4 notes say some songs may return in future world and Waystation-exclusive events; timing and launch availability are not confirmed.
Before friendship level 1, players can still use expressions, sit and chat together, or chat on the same Fluffalo Train. Introducing yourself unlocks proximity text chat with that person. Home visiting permissions were separated from friendship levels in playtest 15.0, so an older friendship-level requirement should not be assumed to apply.
Plan for launch
Systems described in the playtest can change. The release guide covers the planned date, pricing and demo transfer, while the overview links to the rest of this wiki.
