Softonic review

Search for the missing wife

Next of Kin, developed by Spelkväll Games, is a harrowing adventure game about a man who searches for his missing wife. In this premium story-driven title, you take the role of Thomas, who tries to unearth the mystery of his wife, Martha, disappearance by solving puzzles and searching for clues.

A heart-wrenching tale of marriage

Inspired by 1990s adventure games, Next of Kin offers a touching tale that takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions. It is a gut-wrenching visual novel told in a game. The game is played in a top-down perspective and visualized in 2D-pixel graphics, highlighting the retro aspect while delivering an atmospheric playthrough.

This title features an original soundtrack for a more evocative feeling as you search for Martha in a peaceful village in the countryside called Mjolkebo. It must be noted that this game touches on sensitive topics, including miscarriage, suicide, and mental illness, which might not be suited for certain demographics.

Melancholic visual novel

Overall, Next of Kin delivers a perfect melancholic tale of a husband who tries to uncover his wife's disappearance in a village in the countryside. However, this story-rich title inspired by 1990s games touches upon delicate matters, such as miscarriage, suicide, and mental illness.
