About the Game

The free Tavern Update is now live! Serve refreshments, manage stock, hire staff and entertainers, and create a lively social hub that brings the people of Quill together.

This much-requested new feature adds even more life, warmth and character to the world of Kynseed, making it the perfect time to return to your family legacy — or start a brand new one.

Embark on a lifetime of adventure in a beautiful world of creativity and intrigue. Raise a family, customise your farm, run a business, craft items, and battle some marvellously malevolent monsters.

Your actions and decisions matter in our adventurous story filled with purpose and promise. Lend a helping hand to villagers in need and discover the unique blend of creativity and choice that sets Kynseed apart. Come and join us - your legacy awaits!

  • Story based RPG set in beautiful regions with battles against dark faery tale creatures.

  • Customise your farm and farmhouse using Kynseed's new customisation mode with hundreds of items and limitless design possibilities.

  • Run a business such as a blacksmith, apothecary, or goods store.

  • Develop relationships with villagers who will remember your deeds, actions, and pranks!

  • Combat the evil Hob army as they construct powerful totems and cause the destruction of crops and buildings.

  • Rebuild broken houses and buildings for your neighbours and new NPCs.

  • Gather materials to create items, forge weapons or mix cures for bizarre maladies.

  • Buy strange artifacts from the mysterious Mr. Fairweather - items that can aid your chores, help you in combat, or just let you mess with the world. But be warned of his life tax; each item must be paid with years of your life!

  • A world where everyone ages - raise a family then step into your children's shoes and continue your legacy.

In Kynseed, live your life the way you choose in a lovingly handcrafted 2D open world. It’s a beautiful RPG adventure from a couple of tea-making veterans of the Fable series.
