They tried something new with the structure of the story from their usual formula and I found it to be wonderfully macabre

‣ 4/10 – What was the point of the clown?
‣ Thoughts: I do enjoy Chilla’s Art games no matter how good or bad they are for example ,,Night Security” which was horrible but still a laugh. However, I think the developers need to slow down, gather their ideas, take the time, accumulated resources, and make something of higher quality both in storytelling and gameplay.
The Kidnap is not their worst game, I’d say it is one of the better ones, but that does not make it good. The story is sadly generic, the characters are predictable and one-dimensional. There is basically no suspense. All the intense scenes and jump scares come off as cheesy and lazy. Small gameplay sections are just conversations and provide no fun at all. Previous games had you playing basketball, singing karaoke, and interacting with other small games, but here even a video-game game mode is lazy and just a waste of time.
In conclusion, I think YouTubers are overhyping these games too much just because of their title. The developers should be encouraged to take their time and stop pumping these half-assed games out. 4-5 games a year is not a healthy thing. Quality over quantity…

This game was fun to play, but in the end- the ending's just weren't worth it.
I have to appreciate how Chilla's art always brings up the most scary and natural sides of society, and tries to make tragic/horror games with plots like these, but I wasn't all so hyped for it in the end, since it just made me be like ''meh'', and just move on.
Not memorable enough, nothing that can keep me into the game, or make me say ''okay, this is going to my favourites'', and it's like that with every chilla's art game, but i guess i always expect something with those games and that's why in the end i always play them.
It's a good one, totally not so different that the other recent ones, but it was fun to play (at some parts of course), the stealth part was really fun, having to find the keys and batteries while trying to hide from the 2 characters that are trying to find us was truly an interesting thing to do, and it was thrilling. So i give chilla's art that.

Moral of the story: It's better to have a dead mother, than an abusive mother
Este juego sí que estuvo guay, la primera vez que lo intentamos jugar iba muy mal en el stream, pero pude llegar a optimizarlo y finalmente lo pudimos disfrutar al completo. Igualmente me quedo con Parasocial, pero este también me gustó. 😸

Chilla's Art are back with a fresh dose of deranged and nostalgic horror. From the schoolyard to a clown-infested apartment; The Kidnap takes players through a bizarre journey full of twists, turns, and menacing mini-games. The life of a schoolboy has it all -- converging upon a challenging final dash toward multiple endings that are steeped in familiar conventions of the genre. Cheap fun for the whole family -- or at least whoever's still around. I enjoyed the variety of experiences, uncertainty of it all, and Chilla's Art's trademark retro vibes. A strong finish.
