About the Game

Your curse took your brother's soul, 
and bound it to yours.

Now you wander the cold, transferring his spirit between temporary bodies,  
searching for a way to return him.

Preserve what remains of him — or break him apart to survive.

Frost Kin is a story-driven survival game set in a mythic arctic wasteland. Armed with only a spear and the lingering soul of your twin brother, you endure the ice and the ancient beings that haunt it.

✦ SHAPE THE PATH OF HIS SOUL ✦

Transfer your brother's soul between the creatures of the wild

Wolves, hares, ancient beasts, and things far older - 
Each vessel grants new instincts and abilities:
Hunt, scout, traverse the wilds, endure the cold, or uncover hidden paths through the ice.

✦ A SACRIFICE FOR SURVIVAL ✦

 

Kill, revive, and use beings to your advantage,
but beware - each transfer leaves a mark

Force his soul into wounded or corrupted creatures and it begins to fracture.
Those fragments can be consumed for unnatural abilities.
You decide what you become, and how much remains of him.

✦ SURVIVE THE WILDERNESS ✦

Transfer a single soul between creatures with unique instincts and abilities

Use them to hunt, travel, and survive

Preserve your brother’s fading essence — or consume it for power 

Abuse his loyalty, and watch your bond decay

Experiment with creatures, their abilities, and the rules of your power

Navigate a dying wilderness with no map, quests, or handholding 

This is not an open world
This is a closing wound.
