CrossCode is a 2018 action role-playing game developed by Radical Fish Games and published by Deck13. Players control Lea, a player in a fictional MMORPG called CrossWorlds who wakes up with no memory and is unable to speak. Gameplay involves the player employing both ranged and melee shots to solve puzzles and defeat enemies, with differing elemental modes granting different powers used in combat and exploring.

The game's development began in 2011, and was later introduced as a crowdfunded project on Indiegogo. Following a three-year long early access beta phase, it was released for Linux, macOS, and Windows in September 2018, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in July 2020, for Xbox Series X/S in November 2020, for Amazon Luna in November 2020, and for PlayStation 5 in June 2021. An expansion, A New Home, was released in February 2021. CrossCode received generally favorable reviews from critics, who praised its story, combat, and artstyle, but had mixed opinions on its puzzles.
