Introducing Crossings, the next game from us here at Neat Corp.

- 🪴Garden of the Sea is OUT NOW for non-VR players on Steam!🪴 - 3 October 2024
We’re thrilled to welcome you back to Garden of the Sea, for the first time playable outside of VR. In the real world! Garden of the Sea (as we suspect most of you know) was originally released across various VR platforms but through our desire to bring it to even more players it brought the creation of our first ever non-VR title. Translating the game from VR to a more traditional format has been full of challenges and enjoyment both! We won’t go into deep detail on that today (though I’m sure we will in the future!). For now we just hope you will all enjoy the fruits of our creation in Garden of the Sea! For our seasoned players, we hope this will allow you to introduce the world of Garden of the Sea to your friends and family that might have yet to be able to experience it! For those of you who already own Garden of the Sea for VR but want to give the game a go playing with gamepad o…

- We’re re-releasing Garden of the Sea in a non-VR version later this year!! - 10 June 2024
Hello everyone!! We revealed some super duper exciting news at the Wholesome Direct this weekend: Garden of the Sea is getting a non-VR version!! We know some folks have been eyeing our game, which was originally released in 2019, but don’t play in VR, or have wanted to share this game with friends who don’t have VR. We also know that we’ve gotten such a lovely reception on our cozy farming sim that it felt like a waste of an opportunity to not try making it playable for way more people. So behold: later this year, we’re releasing Garden of the Sea, with all of its original features and charms, on Steam! It will have mainstream controller support, and SteamDeck compatibility, so you can just sit back and relax while fishing, watering your plants, or petting the native creatures that live on your island. We hope you’ve enjoyed a look at our game that’s chock full of fun things to do and…
