Criss-Cross Stitching

About Criss-Cross Stitching: A Meditation Game About Cross Stitching

Criss-Cross Stitching is a meditation game built around the art of cross stitching, where painting squares carefully brings a real masterpiece to life under your hands. The detailed graphics are designed to evoke the sensation of real-life needle craft, making each session feel grounded and tactile. One scene shows a purple-framed image of a house with lit windows reflected in a body of water at night.

The picture collection spans hundreds of images across a range of sizes and difficulties — from compact 32×32 images all the way up to sprawling 500×500 pieces with dozens of different colors. Subject matter covers flowers, animals, landscapes, and much more across different categories, so there is always something new to stitch.
