Kynseed
Description
A beautiful life sim sandbox RPG from veterans of the Fable series.
You’ve been given the Kynseed, a mystical acorn that grows into a family tree where your choices manifest in its branches. Raise a family, farm the land, run shops, and explore the world as its inhabitants age around you. When you die, step into the shoes of your children and continue your legacy. In this beautifully hand-crafted world an epic tale of adventure and ambitions will unravel around you as you discover the secrets of the land of Quill and its cast of memorable characters.
Live your life in a quirky world where everyone ages and dies, including your pets! Take control of the mystical Kynseed and grow your family legacy over generations as you pass your skills and powers down to your children.
- Run a business such as a blacksmith, apothecary, or goods store.
- Go adventuring in dangerous regions and battle dark faery tale creatures.
- Farm your land to create the various ingredients that you'll come to rely on.
- Develop relationships with NPC’s who have their own lives and who will remember your deeds, actions, and pranks!
- Find proverbs to unlock the secrets of this mysterious dark faery tale world.
- Gather materials to create items, forge weapons or mix cures for a range of bizarre maladies.
- Buy strange artifacts from the mysterious Mr Fairweather - items which can aid your chores, help you in combat, or just let you mess with the world. But be warned of his life tax, for each item must be paid with years from your life!
- A world and story which aren't always sunshine and roses (just like real life!).
In Kynseed, live your lives the way you choose in a lovingly handcrafted 2D open world.

Kynseed is gorgeous, fun, and surprisingly impactful. Just don't rush through the prologue.

7/10
If you want combat that feels unmatched in a life sim, Kynseed has it. If you want to look at beautiful pixel art, and hear a soundtrack that fits a game exceptionally well, Kynseed has that too. You can pick what you want to do in life and go out and achieve it. There is so much to see and do that it can feel overwhelming. But Kynseed lacks too. There's little emotional toll to building relationships, and frustrating gameplay bugs. The attention to detail is massive in places and lacking in others. Knyseed is close to being the groundbreaking life sim of my dreams. But unfortunately, that dream is still elusive.

Here is done something right!
From the start the game was promising, and it's mixing all the right stuff like humour, storytelling and a great soundtrack for example. As Times comes by (for me, it's more than five years since I played it the first time) I am glad to see the development, and it's still of my favourite casual games there are for a lazy Sunday. Highly recommended.

Still waiting...
I supported this game when It was a kickstart. It was so long ago I can´t really remember when, or If It was a crowdfunding project! I remember they let me put a name to a tree as a backer! The thing Is that It´s still In development and It still has a lot of work ahead. So, the question Is, will I really get to play this game fully, or will I retire and go stale before It see´s the light? Sad, a game such as this should not be 4-5 years In the making...

Decent Stardew Valley clone - fun!
I'm enjoying this game, and do like that the game itself doesn't have a time constraint, as the days pass very quickly and you don't have enough time as a child to get everything done before 11pm, plus explore and learn the world. What I do like is the style and premise of the game I have hours of playtime in and I'm still in the very beginning. Definitely worth buying and giving it a play through!
