KIDS KIDS , by Mario von Rickenbach and Michael Frei , is a short surreal experience. The visual aesthetics of the game are simple, minimalistic, and of a decent but recognizable quality. The soundtrack and sound design of the game are excellent, and create a unique atmosphere. KIDS is overall a very strange and particular game, open to interpretation, and along with the game Plug & Play , showcases the very special vision of Mario von Rickenbach and Michael Frei

I think I've played this game for way too long. It is a good game, though. Nice soundtrack, and very minimalistic visuals. I would recommend it if interested.

If you understand that this is not as much a game as a short (<1h) interactive experience, like an interactive art exhibit, then yeah, I'd say I recommend that. It's a trippy experience to share with your friends who like trippy experiences. Especially worth it if on sale. Other than that, it is not really a game per se, and it's very short, so you be the judge when ~45 mins of sorta-interactive weird experience is worth it. For me it was, and a fun time it was

I'll be honest, for something listed on Steam it's not really offering much for the ticket price. If you're expecting a full game or something that lasts, you'll likely be left wanting. That said, there's nothing wrong with selling your art, and this is an odd, charming, mesmerising, and at times oddly revolting piece of art. It's short. It's weird. I'm not entirely sure what the artists intend to say with it yet, if anything, but I look forward to overthinking it involuntarily - because something happens to you while watching these odd little humanoids.

Gave a lot of insightful visual information about how I would socially feel if I had been born a League of Legends player
