Review: KIDS (2019)

Original post: https://misthold.dreamwidth.org/4062.html

KIDS (2019) seems more experimental than something actually meant to be fun. Considering it's an “interactive animation,” that seems about right.

It's black and white illustrations, with some really good sounds and a little voice work. The goal is to click on a bunch of little people and a) throw them into holes, b) move them into another group, c) maneuver them through what looks like an abstract birth canal, d) swim them through space, etc.

Play time is meant to be 15-30 minutes; I lasted about 5 minutes before I was bored enough to quit. Might be more fun as a mobile game, the clicking got REAL old real fast. Not super recommended unless you're particularly interested in experimental/abstract games.

Price: $2.99

Available for Windows, Mac, Linux and mobile. I played the Mac OS version.
