El mejor juego de la historia
KinitoPet has lots of merits but it falls flat as a horror experience. The old internet aesthetic is very neat and some of the 4th wall breaks give some chills. However the abuse of jumpscares, flashing images and creepy faces(Analog horror tropes) makes it a really annoying game to sit through.
Not to mention that it almost crosses the line of fake malware. The developer really has potential to make something unique and great in the future, but overall the premise is much more interesting than the execution.

One of the best games in this very specific genre. Some of the things in here got me GOOD
This game is kind of like the digital equivalent of one of those haunted houses you go to during the Halloween season. You go in, see some cool visuals, get spooked a little, and before you know it it's all over.
MILD GAME MECHANIC SPOILERS BELOW
KinitoPet is a charming, deceptive, and surprisingly immersive psychological digital horror video game that is impactful despite it's short runtime. The game presents you with a simulated personal computer, where you find yourself downloading a virtual assistance program, none other than the titular character KinitoPET, a pink axolotl AI companion that is eager to make you their newest friend. Whilst KinitoPET has a friendly demeanour at first, it’s not long until his demeanour changes and you find yourself at the mercy of his antics.
This premise may seem formulaic to other digital horror experiences but I assure you that the metaphorical and literal fourth wall breaks that KinitoPET is able to achieve is incredibly personal and is worth experiencing first-hand. KinitoPET will ask you questions, it wants to learn your name, your address, your fears… and it uses these answers against you. But it also goes one step further, manipulating your peripheral devices such as cameras and monitors, accesses your computer and altering files on your desktop to create a horror experience that transcends the boundary of the simulated computer.
As I mentioned briefly, this creates an incredibly personalised experience that uses your system, your sensitive information, and your responses against you, and combines them with elements more typical of digital horror games to create something unsettling. KinitoPET also has replayability, with multiple endings and secrets that fans of the game will want to discover first-hand.
The audio and visual design is incredibly effective in capturing that early era of personal computers, and the aesthetic of KinitoPET himself, the website, and the interactive games throughout are incredibly endearing to the time period but also subvert drastically in moments to create jarring moments of fear. If you’re a fan of digital horror I think this is a must play and at a fair price I would highly recommend this game to fans of the genre.

Not even gonna front with you this game stinks. Lame, jumpscare filled horror. It's carried only by the 4th wall breaks and if i had to compare it to anything this is basically a poor mans Buddy Simulator. They even have a tts narrated credits song here except the difference is this one completely blows. Game told me "there's more too see!!!" but the steam achievement said "ending" and I cant be assed to get back on this horrible theme park ride of a game.
Every so often someone comes onto a game dev forum to be like "hey guys, I wanna make a game that messes with the player's computer! how do I do it?" and then every reply is like No Don't Fucking Do That, You're Basically Making A Virus
Well, KinitoPET goes ahead and does it anyway, and you know what? It's a lot of fun. KinitoPET isn't flawless or particularly deep - it's pretty short and ends when you think the game is just getting going. Plus the scares that don't fall into meta PC fuckery like asking you to open command prompt to give Kinito special privileges, are pretty much generic creepypasta stuff you can find any Itchio horror game. THAT BEING SAID, I still absolutely think it's worth checking out and there's clear passion here, even if the idea isn't used to its full potential

está muy muy bien hecho, lástima que haya llegao tarde y no sorprenda tanto como los juegos que hacían lo que hace este en un principio, no llega a dar miedo y creo que podría haber usado otras muchas cosas

Ok, but in all seriousness, I did genuinely enjoy the game. It's a very unique concept to me and I would absolutely love to check out anything that's like it. I feel as though I cannot say TOO much since it would ruin the entire game, so all I'll really say is that it is definitely worth checking out personally (instead of watching someone).

Vapid with a neat parlour trick or two; you'll like it if you liked Pony Island, and you won't if you like this genre but want something else out of it
Such a huge inspiration for me to continue game dev on godot seeing all the cool tricks used in this game
lets get a Kinito vs MalwareBytes death battle
Solid 4th wall breaking horror game that has a lot of visual flare and tricks to make up for a notably bland overall experience
Still great on the second playthrough, things even changed and still managed to get me a few times.
Je me suis chié dessus.
