About Kinfolk
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!
