What is Kin and Quarry?

This single-player, 2.5D incremental game centers on recovering magic stolen from a sacred tree and buried underground. Across daily excavations, you hire different types of workers, launch a drill, collect ore, and find artifacts that attract more helpers. Clicking, swiping, and hovering the cursor helps your crew dig.
