Evaluation

Cardinal Cross graduated from Early Access to its full 1.0 release on July 9, 2018, completing all 12 chapters of the story. On July 10, 2018, the developer posted a "Full Release and Beyond!" update explicitly stating that "the game is completed and out." The developer noted that a DLC or continuation was "not in the close future plans," and that post-launch activity would focus on quality-of-life improvements such as translations. No further content has been announced since that post, and no additional news posts have appeared beyond the launch period. The game shipped as a complete, self-contained visual novel with its full story, multiple endings, and all planned features intact.

About this game

- Story -


We are Raiders
Divided, autonomous, uninvited
Misery is our neighbor
Pain, our kin


When small-time Raider Scavenger Lana Brice meets her mysterious client, she has a sudden realisation: her life just took a very wrong turn in the worst way possible.

A storm is brewing...

Being forced to join a stranger's fight raises a mess of complex feelings in Lana. Generations of oppression and injustice, the bittersweet bonds of family and the pull of ethics: it’s a brooding volcano that threatens to erupt.

Cardinal Cross cannot be stopped...

But will Lana’s careless adventure spark a Galactic disaster?

Will she be hailed as a hero or reviled as an anarchist?
