A fun, spooky start to what may end up being a great creepypasta game.

I love creepypastas. They're spooky, fun to read, and often end with a bit of an eyeroll. Kitty Kart 64 is very similar, in that it gives all the pieces for a standard creepypasta game. However, it doesn't really expand upon them. The creator of the game will apparently expand upon it in the future, so my advice is to keep an eye on this one and try and extrapolate any lore elements you can find. I truly think we have something great on our hands, it's just too early to really see the forest through the trees.

I had fun with this game- what little there is of it- and look forward to seeing more of what's to come.

I sometimes have the tendency to look down on these ‘Lost games' ARG BS that flood itch.io and steam. Not because they're bad or not scary but because they're always the most basic bog standard creepypasta BS you could possibly think of with very little to show for it in scares, puzzles, or clever use of the ARG format. I think the only games I’ve seen done well were Ben Drowned, Godzilla NES, and Petscop, two of those are just hi-effort Creepypastas and one that doesn't even exist. Which is why I'm glad to say that this game goes out of its way to not only pass the super low bar of lame creepypasta lost game bs; but also carve its own path as a pretty great ARG and a genuinely scary experience. Finally we can have a lost game ARG where it's not about a dead person/child controlling the game but rather something much MUCH worse.........disgruntled employees.

Also I really wanna give this game a huge thumbs up for the game's N64 like presentation. It's not one for one like the games of its era and at points you can clearly tell it’s not a game that could’ve worked on a real N64, but they make it work in the lore of the ARG along with still having the ability to make the atmosphere all the more dreadful by going for a more basic lower quality look.

I don't have much else I wanna say about it without giving away spoilers but I do think the puzzles are a little too obtuse at times but the game was designed to be a community driven ARG experience so really if anything they did too good of a job if you think about it. But overall it's just a really solid horror experience I'm glad I gave a chance instead of just scrolling past it like any other itch.io ARG creepypasta schlock.

the concept is neat, it kinda feels like what fnaf would have been if released now with the lore all written out. the newspaper clippings make reference to people like henry who really didnt exist until sister location or UCN or cassidy getting a mention. the game being in a actual space and not just pngs also does it a lot of favours and makes it feel more real. when the carousel freaks out you can see it from 2 separate cameras which is cool. the game felt a bit easy until the secret night that being said. i dont think it can replace the OG game, a lot of the scariest and mystery is gone, cassidy is rather in your face but i think its very solid.

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.
