Amazing game with a neat aesthetic and a strange mood, but without any clever gameplay. This is not a criticism - I really appreciated. I did a pleasant travel inside your project, trying to understand the main message - and I guess that I did. Choir was beautiful. Thank you ++
Ces dernières années, le jeu vidéo a fait quelques incursions dans les musées. Il était temps que le travail des artisans du milieu viennent prendre un peu de place sur les murs réservés aux monochromes et autres merveilles de l’esprit humain. KIDS, c’est un peu l’inverse : l’œuvre abstraite s’est échappée d’un musée pour arriver sur nos moniteurs crasseux. Contrairement à un chef-d’œuvre au Ripolin, on peut se la procurer pour trois sous.
KIDS est un court-métrage interactif, où l’on oriente de petits personnages à la souris. On clique et les bonhommes réagissent, ça aurait pu être désuet et drôle. Mais la sensation de malaise surgit bien, fugace, devant ces petits êtres agglutinés. L’ambiance sonore contribue fortement à faire naître l’étincelle de l’angoisse. Dans ce monde en noir et blanc, on semble ordonner la vie et la mort. Suis-je un sauveur ? Suis-je Dieu ? À moins que ce troupeau ne court seul à sa perte, incapable de s’organiser. La vraie angoisse serait d’être un des leurs. Ha zut, ils m’ont eu : j'interprète.
Les amateurs d’animation et les fumeurs de shit gras trouveront dans KIDS matière à gamberger sur l'anthropocène, la création, le panurgisme, la vie, la mort... Les agoraphobes masochistes sont également bienvenus.
Life is complicated. Sometimes it's better to jump into that hole that your friend did... or is it? Kids makes you question a lot of things and I think that level of introspection is missing in a lot of our media today.
It's quit an experience. A game that's extremely fun to watch as these....KIDS(?) do some odd things. Trying to find the meaning of the game is part of the fun.
This is really great! I think I get the point, it's really about subverting expectations and peer pressure, and how sometimes you can go against the grain and other times life just forces you down certain paths.
My youtube channel is all about how Games ARE Art, and games like this just make the point so easy to make! Thank you for sharing your art!

was this at all inspired by the Harmony Korine movie
This game is fun, yet weird at the same time
Lovely little tactile - almost toy like - experience. Definitely worth your 20 minutes!
Simple mechanics and well made. I'm too small-brained to understand any deep hidden messages but it was definitely a cool experience.
This game was so strange and I loved every second of it. Honestly, I may play it again this weekend. It's visually creative and just funny.
This game was totally weird but it was worth it ! It was a very good experience with a lot of feelings. love it !
