Love this kind of pseudo-horror hidden in quirky-old thing trope. A game that messes with your understanding of how it works as much as it "messes" with (not literally) your computer itself, and uniquely a game played on your desktop. While some functions were not quite working as I turned off most of Microsoft's crappy programs that it tries to use to say like get your webcam and get your real irl location, it still in itself is a bit of a fun run. It didn't overstay and through enough at me to keep me engaged. Pretty good overall.
for what it set out to do i think this game is essentially perfect. I loved all the things it did to mess with my computer the entire game just felt like a playable analog horror video it was so cool...
only thing i will say is that the endings kind of suck and I left feeling not a whole lot after doing them all. It left kind of a sour feeling despite the entire game up to that point being fantastic, but it does anything but take away from the positives. Great little experience i think

One of the most technically impressive games of this genre. It’s very much so Doki Doki Literature Club but with Bonzi Buddy but the amount of overreach the software has with its control over your computer is kind of crazy. Not very scary because Kinito is far too adorable but the vibes really hit hard. Pretty cool web based game. Would love to see what else this developer can do!
Is it a scary horror game? No but most modern horror games aren’t. Is it really really cool? Absolutely. I think too many people are viewing this as a game that’s trying really hard to be scary and failing when in reality I think it’s just trying to be a cool project. Some of the stuff it did I’m still not sure HOW it did and that’s really cool. It’s a really great time but don’t expect to be screaming in your room over it.

its a bit of a shame i didn't fully experienced this as it should be since i first watched it from a streamer. i kept playing but still it did not hit the same bc of this same reason. but that's my fault haha.
What really did hit me though is the final track in the ost, Bliss. i guess its making reference to the windows XP default wallpaper that goes by the same name. It's funny, because the track makes me feel so... melancholic. The fact the title is referencing the early internet era while sounding so sad yet comforting... and at the same time you are the one deleting kinito... it feels like saying goodbye to this period of time when i was little... like leaving my childhood behind.
idk why im getting all emotional over one track about a virtual assistant axolotl. maybe it's bc i did not have many friends back then and i was pretty attached with all my virtual pets and video games. all these memories are so blurry yet i hold to them dearly. I miss my windows xp PC that my family had. it was fun even if i was only like 5yo. Maybe kinito represents all that... for me at least.
TLDR im getting nostalgic over an axolotl

A ideia de isso mecher com seu pc e com o monitor pra fazer algo de terror é legal, é um Clippy só que terror, se vc é velho vai entender
mas nossa não sei se é porque já saturou esse tipo de jogos, ou só não é pra mim, mas acho muito bobo essa coisa de jogo infantil ou coisa antiga infantil que dá glitch e mostra algo SUPER PERTUBADOR, é muito zzzzzz pra mim nem dá medo é so algo pra chocar que nem choca
