# Kinsfolk > Kinsfolk is a heartfelt experience that lasts around 40 minutes. It's short, but deeply meaningful. An exploration of the meaning of family, told through the eyes of a new father. Explore the challenges he faced in his youth, how it affected the relationship with his own father, and how it will shape the kind of father he becomes. While playing through the world, you will encounter and relive short stories from which you will learn about the past. These stories offer different worlds and times to explore. Each short story is meant to challenge your perspective and to expand the story and your understanding of the world. While some stories will be obvious, others are hidden. Explore the world and unlock them all! Key Features: For fans of Journey, Firewatch, The First Tree and What Remains of Edith Finch A short (about 45 minutes) emotional narrative game with very light puzzle and platforming elements Fully voice acted by Luke David Original soundtrack by Josh Kashdan Plays well on Steam Deck Content Notice: Kinsfolk is an emotional story that touches on grief and loss.
