Kin and Quarry tasks you with excavating essence from progressively deeper layers to nurture your Evertree, recruiting workers and purchasing upgrades along the way. The core loop—mine, upgrade, repeat—delivers engaging early momentum, but progression sharply plateaus mid-game, leaving players grinding against steep resource walls. Best suited for those with patience for extended idle sessions, though the steep price point may not justify the limited playtime for most.
About this game
An incremental mining adventure where you must dig into the earth to recover essence for your sacred Evertree. Mine, drill, and blast your way to the deepest depths, discovering rare artifacts and recruiting more kin to your cause along the way. Dig. Upgrade. Repeat.

Another one of those "rapid progression initially, grinds down to a halt after a little bit" games. A slog. Doesn't feel rewarding or respective of your time for an idle game. Feels like I got finessed into going just past the 2-hour refund window to get a spit in the face, esp. considering this game costs twice as much as most other short incremental games.
i finished it 100% and i had fun because i like grinding but it costs 8,77€ (discounted) and i finished it in less than 5 hours. i kind of regret buying it. i wish i could give it mixed.
Hello! Hope everyone is doing well. I'm here to announce Kin and Conquest, a combat-oriented spinoff of Kin and Quarry. It has a Playtest you can check out right now if you want to give it a shot.Thank you.
Fixed: Artifacts would roll for the highest tier first before checking for lower tiers. This ended up being coded in such a way that if you were very deep into the game and still lacked lesser tier artifacts, they'd be impossible to find because you'd always be rolling for the highest tier with no fallback. I feel very dumb for this, but it's now fixed.
Fixed: Artifacts would incorrectly try to be created in layers that have no blocks, such as in the case of adjusting your Starting Layer, which would make finding the artifacts needlessly difficult. Fixed: Fireflies can now spawn in all layers. Please let me know in the Steam Discussion Boards if you continue to have situations where artifacts are very very difficult to find. Please include which layer you're starting on and which artifacts are missing. I believe the bug has been fixed, but if not, I'll need those extra details. Thank you.
