Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Kraken’s Bar is already playable and fun, but we want to involve the community in refining game balance, adding new drink types, and introducing more gameplay systems. Early Access lets us fine-tune the experience while players are already having fun.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to stay in Early Access for around 6 to 9 months, depending on community feedback and development pace.
”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to continue improving the game based on feedback gathered during Early Access. Our goal is to refine the gameplay, add more polish, and potentially introduce new features such as cosmetics, characters, a Rank System, and a Leaderboard. The full version is intended to offer a more complete and refined experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core gameplay is fully functional: 4-player online and local multiplayer, card mechanics, joker randomness, drink modifiers, and round-based elimination are all in place. It’s already fun we’re just expanding and improving from here.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. Early Access comes at a discounted price, and the price may increase upon full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We want to build Kraken’s Bar together with our players. Players' feedback will help shape new features, improve game balance, and keep the game fun. We'll be actively listening through Steam discussions, Discord, and in-game feedback tools.”

About This Game

A 4-player online party game where drinking is a death sentence, and every card you place brings you closer to the edge.

In this cursed tavern, there’s only one rule:
Don’t be the one who drinks.

Each round lasts 5 turns. On every turn, you’ll place one card into your own slot and pass the remaining hand to the player on your left.
After 5 turns, everyone has played 5 cards. The player with the highest total drinks… and is eliminated.

🧠 Plan Ahead

Victory comes from smart card placement, risk management, and keeping your score low before the hand rotates.

🃏 Jokers Stir the Chaos

Joker cards add a layer of unpredictability — flipping values, shuffling orders, or triggering strange effects. Just enough randomness to keep everyone on edge.

Each round introduces a unique drink that modifies how certain cards are scored. Some cards may double, others might not count at all.
Learn the effect, adjust your strategy, and stay sharp.

Once everyone has played their cards, hands rotate left. What you tried to avoid might come back to someone else — or you.
The highest total? Knocked out.

🐙 The Kraken Watches Silently

He says nothing. He does nothing… or so it seems. From the shadows behind the bar, he shuffles the deck, stares into your soul, and waits.
Maybe this round he just watches. Maybe not.

Fast-paced rounds. Tense decisions. Surprising eliminations.

Easy to learn. Hard to survive.
One sip — and you’re out.
