Kin Selection
KIN SELECTION
Kin Selection (Noun): A form of natural selection. Some animals cooperate with relatives, even if this brings risk to themselves.
CAN YOU SURVIVE A DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY DINNER?
Can you de-escalate enough arguments to hold the family together? Alternatively, can you escalate them even further to WIN???
Kin Selection is a story told through a turn-based Pokémon-style battle system.
Once you've played through, you'll be assigned an animal! Post yours in the comments below (we want to see what is the most popular!!).
By Eleanor Nguyen (art, story, dialogue) and Molly Stow (programming)!
Trigger warnings include: mentions of miscarriage, snakes, cheating, Jordan Peterson, death in the family, mentions of Vietnamese refugee journeys, and wayyyy more family drama than I thought it was possible for Eleanor to write in 3 days.
