Kynseed is beautiful and the general vibe leans heavily towards a classic cosy RPG. However, as you play, there is a near-constant sense of slight unease, a feeling that something strange is going on in this cosy land of Quill and that things may not be as they seem. This ominous feeling is a wonderful contrast to the otherwise very tranquil setting.
Besides the fantastically written main storyline and characters, the simple joy of organising your plants is honestly addictive. I could happily spend days leafing through my growing book of plants, identifying and labelling my colourful array of flowers and mushrooms, and petting your cat, Hellebore (the real star of the show). The animations for moving things around on your desk and shelves are beautifully satisfying, even down to how the map unfolds. It’s a truly wonderful game, relaxing in a beautifully dark way and is easily one of the best detective games I’ve played in a long time.
