Game Info

You died. Welcome to XING.

What if you had the power to go up to a gravestone, read the epitaph, and transport yourself into the lives of the departed?

Is death without legacy something to be feared?

Do we choose our own destiny, or is it chosen for us?

XING: The Land Beyond is an atmospheric first-person puzzle adventure game set in the afterlife. In death, you will find yourself on a journey across a series of mysterious lands filled with the thoughts and personalities of those long lost. Follow forgotten stories, collect artifacts, solve puzzles, and discover secrets as you make your own adventure through the mysteries of The Land Beyond.

Built for your PC, PlayStation 4, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PlayStation VR!

Team Bio

What started out as a college Level Design 1 project turned 3 students into full time Indie developers. One game competition led to another, and after a successful Kickstarter in March of 2013, the 3 members (Koriel, John and James) decided they were going to make this game the best they possibly could. After Koriel and John graduated, the team spent the summer of 2013 planning out the road map for XING - as well as forming their own company: White Lotus Interactive LLC.

From there, they have been busy developing 40-70 hours per week - putting out promotional material whenever possible while trying not to lose momentum. As of now they each work remotely from their homes. Their philosophy has always been to "make something that we enjoy playing, and to continue to expand our skills and knowledge to further improve the quality of the game." John does tech-art, coding, sound design and music composition; James does modeling, coding, tech-art and environment design; and Koriel does story, sculpting, level/environment design, 2-D graphics and PR.

"This type of job is not for everyone, but we at White Lotus love it."
