PLOT

Crossing Souls plays in 1945, where archeologist Dr. Carter Jones is sent by the U.S. government on a secret mission to recover the Duat Stone, an artifact of mysterious, supernormal power, leading him to a forgotten tomb in the Valley of the Kings near Cairo, Egypt. Dr. Jones can get a hold of the stone but disappears and is never found.

Half a century later, in 1986, five teenage friends, Chris, Matt, Charlie, Big Joe, and Kevin, discover his corpse on a bicycle trip through the woods outside their quiet town in California, and with it also the Duat Stone. Taking the stone home and driven by curiosity, Matt can build a device with which the friends can unlock and control the stone’s power.

Though the friends do not fully understand the artifact’s power, they find out that it can make them see and interact with the spirits of the dead. However, their curiosity gets into the scope of former U.S. Army general Colonel Beringer, self-proclaimed Major Oh Russ, who had organized the Duat Stone’s recovery in 1945, and now wants to stop the friends from getting deeper into the artifact’s power.

While the five teenagers go on an epic journey to uncover the secret behind the artifact and the spirits, that are made visible to them, Oh Russ threatens them and captures their parents and friends, to regain the Duat Stone himself and receive the power to control the deceased to accomplish his world invasion plan. At the end of the game, after Oh Russ’ death, the two surviving members of the team, Chris and Charlie.

Activate the interdimensional portal to defeat Seth, who was Oh Russ’ master and the Egyptian god of destruction that usurped his brother Osis’ position as the Keeper of the Living Balance. Chris and Charlie destroy Seth with their souls, thus saving their families and loved ones at the cost of their own lives.
