Co-op first
Every mechanic starts with one question: is it more fun with four hands on it? If not, it doesn’t ship.
Independent game studio
Co-op games about cold places and warm people.
We’re Kronhold — a small team making games you play with friends: loud, physical, a little bit dangerous and always better together.
Our first game
A co-op mountain rescue for 1–4 friends.
Felt-puppet rescuers drive a battered 6×6 van up a blizzard-swept mountain to save a grumpy tourist frozen near the summit. Crank the winch by hand, dig, fit chains, tape the van back together and keep each other warm. What could go wrong?

Real gameplay, straight from the mountain
What we believe
Games are better with friends
Physical comedy, real stakes
The funniest moments come from real danger. Ropes snap, vans slide, bears are hungry — and you laugh because you almost made it.
Handmade worlds
Felt, wood, wool and snow. We want our worlds to feel touchable, like toys that came to life in a blizzard.
Built with players
Playtests, devlogs and decisions happen in the open on our Discord. Our community shapes what we make.

Snow outside, friends on voice chat. Our picks of co-op games for winter evenings — from frozen survival and snowy off-roading to pure kitchen chaos.
No health bar: how cold and frostbite work in Summit's Wrong
There are no hit points on our mountain — only frost and warmth. How frostbite, tea, huts, radios and the van’s stove turn survival into teamwork.
Devlog: why the winch in Summit's Wrong is hand-cranked
A motor winch would be easier. We made ours hand-cranked on purpose: more hands on the handle means a faster pull. Here’s how one tool shapes the whole co-op.
