Kinfolk

Feast, frolic and fumble your way through life as a peasant in a bizarre little town where everyone’s pretending to be normal. Kinfolk is multiplayer cozy chaos that is part job sim, part social deduction, part fever dream.

About the Game

Kinfolk is a completely serious peasant simulator where you can farm turnips, throw them at monks, and accidentally burn down the inn. Live your best (or worst) life as a medieval nobody who never trusts a stranger's soup. Milk cows, brew mead, commit light arson, and engage in deeply questionable roleplay with your equally clueless friends.

Features:

  • Work your little pixel butt off to complete the day's goals before the sun sets.

  • Try not to burn your house down when you leave your cooking fire unattended.

  • If you can see it, you can do something with it.

  • Please don't throw the chickens.

  • Make sure that whatever you're eating isn't going to make you sick.

  • If it's on fire, it's definitely hot and you probably shouldn't touch it.

  • There are a lot of ways that you can get hurt, but it's pretty hard to die.  Try not to lose your limbs and have to crawl back up a hill after a falling out with your bestie.

  • Give yourself a makeover with the cool cosmetics that you can unlock.

  • Hang some memories on the wall as you unlock trophies for completing achievements.

Manifest your destiny at the expense of everyone else!
