Made by Kerry & Jeff

Welcome to Crimson Hollow is a passion project—built late nights, playtested at the table, and shaped by the kind of stories you tell when the fire burns low.

If you love deck-building games, tense choices and replayable thrills, we can’t wait to share Crimson Hollow with you.

Add your origin story highlights
  • • The first “theme” we designed was The Sinister Carnival. Nothing gets more creepy than a clown ... or so we thought! It changed drastically after our first playtest session.
  • • Our biggest challenge: balancing replayability with depth and tension.
  • • What we wanted the game to feel like (campfire warmth + creeping dread)
  • • The moment we knew Crimson Hollow had something special was when we were working on a different game that just wasn’t doin it for us then we moved to working on this one and almost immediately- we were hooked and bought in on making improvements.
  • • What’s next: more art, more fears, and a pre-order launch
