Kynseed Demo

Continuity is a very desirable feature in video games, especially in RPGs that allow you to pick from multiple routes and do different things with your characters along the way. On the other hand, very few games have managed to keep players engaged for more than one playthrough, although there are a handful of examples that anyone can name.

Kynseed is an interesting project that aims to revive the RPG sandbox genre and provide you with a memorable experience. In fact, the game is designed for you to become attached to the characters and their stories, as well as to make it easy to start over multiple times and get a different experience every time. On the other hand, this is still merely an early demo at this point, so many of the promised features are not available yet.

In short, the story starts when your character receives a very special seed, which when planted is able to sprout into a strong family tree. The goal is to learn new skills and shape the world around you, at least until you die and pass everything down to your successor. The action continues from father to son, and the world remembers your past deeds, which is a very intriguing concept to say the least.

Another big element in the grand scheme of things is the fact that you can raise animals and take care of them. They also die after a while and are replaced by their offspring, so the whole thing can be a bit gloomy sometimes. You can also visit other villages, participate in their annual events, follow traditions and go on epic quests, much like in a classic RPG.

The list of upcoming features is very long and exciting, especially since it promises so much continuity and diversity. As far as the graphics are concerned, the top-down view may look a bit outdated, but the actual tiles look very nice. In fact, the whole game world has a very cozy feeling to it, so it’s easy to grow accustomed to the low-resolution textures.

When it’s all said and done, Kynseed might just be the next Fable, especially in terms of gameplay and new ideas in the genre. However, the project needs your support in order to evolve according to plan, and you can do that by contributing to its Kickstarter campaign.
