Kynseed

Slay monsters and farm the land in this whimsical adventure

- Kimberley Ballard

PixelCount Studios isn’t a stranger to creating beautiful fantasy worlds. Once upon a time the team helped develop the Fable series and design the mythical landscape of its home world Albion. Rising from the ashes of Lionhead, PixelCount is now making its first indie game, Kynseed, where the land murmurs with myth and fantastical beings tread.

Kynseed is set in the Quill, a leafy country of villages and vales surrounded by forest. You can explore it at your leisure while farming the land and running a business, though there is more to Kynseed than living a quiet life. Monsters dwell deep within the trees, and the people of the Quill are a little strange too.

“Quill is a land where people have reverted to ancient pagan ways,” says PixelCount cofounder and design director Charlton Edwards. “They worship the old Fae deities, and superstitions and folktales are all true! Sacrifices, dances, odd customs and daily offerings are all part of Quill life. It’s a world where the ancient proverb rules.”
