Secrets of Grindea

Secrets of Grindea is an old-school RPG with co-op support for up to 4 players. It is a tribute to and sometimes a parody of the old SNES games so many of us grew up with and loved!

“In the world of Grindea everything is determined by one thing–how big your collection of stuff is. You take on the role as a young hero (or heroine) taking his or her first steps to become a famed Collector and help collect the most valuable rares in the entire kingdom. But is everything really as it seems? The hunt for rares soon turns into something bigger, a scenario where family, friendship and possibly the fate of the world rests in your hands.“


  • Secret of Grindea was also exhibited at Gamex 2012 in Stockholm.

Awards: Secret of Grindea won Public Choice and Best 3rd Year Project at the Gotland Game Conference 2012, as well as Game of the Year at the Swedish Game Awards 2012.
