Kringa 2026

This is based on a true story: for 16 years, the town of Kringa has been terrorized by an evil Strigoi named Jure Grando. While the families struggle to survive day-to-day, they must gather the courage and tools to defeat the undead fiend!

Kringa is a cooperative horror worker-placement game with a strong push-your-luck component.

Players start with a family of four workers - each with unique abilities. Assign workers to locations to collect resources. Use resources to craft helpful items, hire helpers and overcome dangers. As dusk descends, you can choose to risk danger and stay to gather more resources, or return home to feed and protect your family with blessings and hexes.

As night falls, Grando stalks Kringa. If Grando stops at a location or home, unprotected workers will fall sick or even placed in the village's crypt. If the crypt fills up, the players lose.

Players have a limited time to discover how to destroy Grando by fulfilling the secret holder's objectives. Once a secret is discovered, you will learn one of Grando's weaknesses. Ready the weapons and set up a trap to lure Grando in. If you manage to successfully spring the trap and defeat the evil Strigoi, you win! If you fail, you doom Kringa to a fate worse than death!
