Spirit Crossing

Game Trailer
2025

Netflix Games invited us to create a trailer for their newest offering, Spirit Crossing, a beautiful adventure game with Studio Ghibli-inspired vibes. We had so much fun bringing this world to life with 2D animation, and we can’t wait for you to take it for a spin.

Background art.

A big part of tackling the Gibli-inspired vibe was creating crisp, rich background paintings that still felt like part of the game world.
