Jan 8th Release!

Since we are only 10 days from the release of Kinsfolk on Jan 8th, wanted to share a few things. Firstly, some key features for Kinsfolk for folks that are still trying to decide if the game is for them.

Key Features

  • A short (about 45 minutes) emotional narrative game with very light puzzle and platforming elements

  • Fully voice acted by Luke David

  • Original soundtrack by Josh Kashdan

  • Plays well on Steam Deck

  • For fans of Journey, Firewatch, The First Tree and What Remains of Edith Finch

I also been asked if the demo will continue the be live, yes it will for the foreseeable future. My goal with it is to give a way for people to try Kinsfolk before buying it.

Behind the Scenes

Lastly, I really wanted to share some behind the scenes work that happened on Kinsfolk since I thought it is interesting now looking back at it after 2 years of development.

Concept Art

Here is the original concept art for the main character, now this is more than 2 years old

Voice Acting

Here is Luke David (the voice of the main character) performing.

Cheers,

Vinko
