10 itemsAbout the Game
KIN is a colourful indie platformer, that will awe you with its beautiful otherworldly landscapes and surprise you with its challenging boss fights.
Lively colours, intuitive gameplay and interesting level design set the tone for KIN, in which the player moves through the world as a mysterious, tiny girl with a full head of hair clad in a bright dress. Defeating enemies and solving puzzles, she leaps from platform to platform, travelling through different landscapes.
The game holds an abstract aesthetic that has become characteristic for House of Secrets, the studio behind KIN, through their earlier VR experiences such as APEX and Surge.
KIN supports both the original VR mode from when it was first launched, as well a new camera mode and input system that allows the game to be played as a traditional non VR platformer.
