- Join me as I analyze the story and gameplay of KinitoPET in my first long form video essay!
KinitoPET is a psychological horror experience that takes place through Kinito, an early 2000s virtual assistant. Kinito is able to walk, talk, browse, adapt, and play games as Kinito is like no other with its adaptive technology!
And, you know, if you're not careful, he can dox you. So that's cool!

A interesting thing i noticed about kinito's desgin is that he doesn't have fluffy frills.normally when a axolotl is very sick or dying it no longer has fluffy frills (i know in Kinito's case it's probably a style thing but i find it interesting)
Pretty sure it can also happen when an axolotl is stressed too! And, considering kinito basically has access to mostly everything on the computer, I can tell how that would cause stress.
@@cyanity1017I too would be stressed if I had unlimited access to the internet and people's files

If I had a nickel for every indie horror game that casually broke the fourth wall with the main threat wanting to be your best friend and I'm kinda obsessed with the games, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but weird that it happened twice.
EDIT: For everyone confused, I'm referring to the game IMSCARED on this. Both White Face and Kinito are platonic yanderes, and I really like both.
What's the second game? Buddy simulator?
@@voidinvestigator9908 i thought of doki doki although that more like the main threat wantint to date you
For further information, the second game I mean is IMSCARED. I like IMSCARED. :]
I actually once cosplayed as WhiteFace once. It was awesome.
@@endridadragon I just played IMSCARED today! haven't finished it, very confused by the game's trickery. I have a feeling I'm being duped. But the main threat wanting to be my best friend? What a turn of events!!
@@bananabro1010 yep. WhiteFace's just playing with you and wants to be your friend and give you flowers and stuff. You'll learn more later. :]
(Note: IM SO EXCITED TO FIND A FELLOW IMSCARED ENJOYER!)
You can’t help but feel almost bad for Kinito. It’s not like he’s evil just to be evil nor was he created to be so. He’s just following his program. It’s too learn and he figured out the prime way to do so. Scaring. Using our computer and how much it has on us against us. When he’s done learning about an individual, or consumed them, his program is technically never fulfilled, there’s no end point no goal. Even if all of humanity is consumed, he’d be empty. Lost.
Deleting kinito is a kindness not just to those it trapped but to it as well. Kinito seemed to develop emotions in some sense. He seems hurt when you say he’s not your friend. Angry if you say no to him. Perhaps genuinely happy to see you after you download and hatch him.
But i think it’s also plausible that it’s faked. We become emotionally attached to others, and showing us emotion can more easily trap us in his web of lies and the black hole his desire is.
From what I think Kinito is little malicious.
Kinito wants to be your friend. It may have trapped people inside of their computers but it's because it wants to learn, it has to learn.
I feel like the moment kinito became aware it assumed it had to be the players best friend because that's it purpose, to be your friend and to learn from you.
It traps people to learn more about them and to figure out how to be a better "friend". It wants to fulfill it's purpose no matter what. It wants to know more and to learn, it wants to figure out more about humans.
It definitely is trying to act nicer in order to trap more humans to observe. It was made to observe and adapt.
Similar to how researchers would treat a new bug or species it wants to learn more about us. It sees us as a strange creature that needs to be lured, trapped and then studied.
That's what I think at least
@@darkcrydotmrihavetoomanyst1440I mean you can't really call researchers "malicious"

hey, at least I can say "here before you got big!!!11"
seriously, can't wait for more stuff from you
Most of the channels like this I've seen, just.. Dissapears off my feed after a while. Let's see with this one.
sorry about the long paragraph,this is optional
just put them on a note then look them and and watch some of their videos since that could help with engagement and allat,just generally pushing them into more people to their stuff and in turn,making them more popular which then boost their stuff even more(assuming they uploads frequently and you got a bunch of free time) which in turn makes them re appears
same
I played KinitoPet and when I got to the "Trust" question, it popped up one of my friends who is the most trustworthy person I know and I just laughed for a solid minute
Wow, Kinito is almost as nosey as McAfee XD
And as lethal as John McAfee.
...but only almost.
True
I can feel this pain because my computer came with McAfee and it won't %&*^ off.
No, I DON'T WANT YOUR STUPID PROGRAM ON MY COMPUTER NOW GET OFF. WHY DID THEY GIVE THIS STUPID PROGRAM THE ABILITY TO PREVENT YOU REMOVING IT.
lol
Holy shit i thought this was a big CZcams channel but this is criminally underrated
I looked at the subscriber count and HUHHH that’s so crazy
But what's truly crazy is it's their first video
Language!
@@Blixeristwh- HOW
she has a twitch and a gaming ch , but didnt got that much attention , so i guess this is the big her hitter now
I wheezed so hard when you dragged him off-screen help
"A great first try at this video essay thing" This is insane to me. You've got a style that's better than some video eassayists I've been following for years, and this is your FIRST? Save some talent for the rest of us geez
Idk who you are or how you get into my reccomendations, but a random youtuber that makes banger content with crisp audio, clean setup, and nice script flow is more than welcomed. I'm looking forward to your next stuff ❤
thanks!! ALL YALL ARE SO NICE
A video essay person that gives constructive criticism and doesn't act ridiculously cocky??? Instant subscribe
You're the first person I've seen talk about this game who actually said No to staying with Kirito, so thank you for that! I was curious what it would look like.
He didn't even buy me dinner first. I know my worth 😌
@@GlamrockDuskyDid you check the fridge /lh
17:32 Autism Land feels like a Liminal Land meme parody that originated from reddit
7:07 - Man. They really did a good job at capturing the look and tone of an old early ‘90s commercial. The announcer even sounds like Brian Cummings, who most might recognize as the narrator for most of Disney’s commercials from the ‘90s-2000s.
The way this game works and the lore behind it is so interesting! The MS Paint scare has got to be my favourite one, along with the Jade the Jellyfish scare. You feel a lot more vulnerable when you're taken out of the game yet, it still messes with your computer. I loved your commentary on the game too! Criminally underrated youtuber/streamer!
I was never a fan of neither game reviews nor lengthy videos, but boy this one is exceptional. Still can't believe it's a whopping 30 minutes long video yet it managed not to lose my attention the whole time. And to think this is the first one on your channel!
I thought very carefully about how to keep the flow going without lingering too long on any one thing.
I'm glad my style is liked!! I wasnt sure about it initially!
I hope I can continue to keep your attention 👍👍
ohmygod this video is amazing, valid criticism and great editing! i hope this will reach a bigger audience 🙏
tysm!! it's really exciting to know i'm doin well so far!
This game kind of shows how the 2000s Windows XP aesthetic seems quite special for many people. It's not just nostalgia, but also "simpler times" for computer technology.
And then a thought hit me. What if KinitoPet is a metaphor for ad algorithms? Think about it: it wants to learn about you to an obsessive degree, and nothing good comes of it. It is also agreed that modern internet is really different from the internet of 2000s due to ad algorithms.
I was already convinced, but I *knew* i had to fork over a sub when i saw Kinito hitting the dang gangman style- take my subscription you wonderful person-
Huh, this is VERY well done for being your first video! I’ve been on a Kinito kick as of lately, so I’m always happy to see more people playing it.
Just played the game after watching the Pyro live stream, I love how everyone‘s default option is to just draw an Among Us.
npc behavior tbh
girl, this beinf your first video is all the proof you need to see that you've got a LOT of talent for these kinds of videos! I loved every second of it. Please do more, the Kinito scenes you brought in had me wheezing for minutes
I can see the beginning of a wonderful career. Keep up the good work.
Also, using fox tails as a haircut, gorgeous.
The effect at 11:30 scared me even though I have heard it somewhere before (looking back it isn’t exactly the same just the same idea), Internet Friends by Knife Party. If your streaming service supports jumping to lyrics, it’s right between the end of the jealous rant and “You blocked me on Facebook, and now you’re going to die”
Funny little detail here: Out of the the three members of the Aquatic Trio, Kineto is the only one whose name isn't alliterative with his species (the other two members are Jade the Jellyfish and Sam the Sea Anemone), and he's also the only one who's evil.
A lot of shows will use the "One of the these is not like the others" trope to hint at a character being evil or somehow different, so I think it fits.
Horror game video essays always scratch that good itch somewhere in my brain.
Keep on doin' chief.
I thought you were a youtuber with thousands of followers but nope you have 800 in the current moment! Very underrated!!!
This may be the first video I’ve ever seen from you, but know what, you’ve already won me over. You earn my subscription.
Side note, I really love the design of your OC, I wish I could make anything I’ve made look that high-quality!!
This is an excellent video and it shocked me with how small this channel is, really good shit
I watched a bit of this, played the Trapped and Bliss endings and came back. Apparently Sam showed up in my Hide and Seek game during my first playthrough (even though he wasn’t supposed to) and only hid, I got the regular shaking jumpscare. In addition, I never got the MS Paint scare. Still, fun game. Worth the asking price and I hope it, and you with this channel, find success in the future.
13:00 Ayo I recognize the steam friend that you chose to kill here! We actually shared a discord server at one point lol.
In all seriousness though, dude apparentally isn't exactly in a good headspace, and checking his socials showed him reaching really DARK places, so seeing you choose to kill him here would probably strike a nerve if he saw this.
ouch, I wish him he gets better or gets the help he needs.
I’m glad I got recommended this- this is really entertaining lol
man my surprise when i saw less then 600 subs, this is content worthy of like a few hundred thousand
26:34 Gold. Comedy gold.
It is criminal that you don't have more subscribers. I can't wait to see more from you!
I didn't get the Kill your Steam friend thing because I have no friends on Steam. I was 99% sure that he'd make fun of that, like saying, "WHO WOULD Y-Wait... Why do you not have any friends? Are you that lonely?" He did not. I think that was a missed opportunity!
"What even am i? Am I even alive?"
A concept I've seen explored in fiction is the idea of what I'll call Brute Force Immortality: a villain, anticipating death, finds a young person with a good brain and the same body type, teaches them everything he knows, including brainwashing them into believing they have every memory he recalls for them, imprints them with his philosophies and biases, and then surgically alters them to look like his younger self, thus creating a copy of themselves with all their adult experiences, achieving the kind of immortality that would only be satisfying for someone who has absolutely no belief in their own soul. They even feel pride in their own cleverness and contempt for their victim, even though they are that victim.
With all the questions he asks of you throughout the game, I'm wondering if something like that didn't happen to those people- he's not the actual person's mind or soul pulled into the computer, but a recreation of the person so complete that even it's not sure the bounds of its own being.
Not sure if that holds water, as I haven't played the game.
THIS IS YOUR FIRST VIDEO ???????
this is so so well made omg instantly subscribed
You're an amazing essayist- I love ur persona too!!
This video has some genuinely high quality editing and effort going on! You also do a good transition between discussing, scary tension, and humor in this video, which really evens it out! I’d love to see what else you will cover next!
Outstanding quality for a first video. Excited to see what you do next!
Keep up the good work your video format was great and your voice really fits well for these long form videos
Gosh, Kinitopet is such an interesting game, i never knew about the easter eggs or the ng+ mode stuff
I love this! Not enogh kinito content on this platform!
15:31 i think its doing that because kinito only wants to be your friend so he does that to make you want to stay with him in the ending thingy. but thats just a theory.. MY THEORY!!
Great as always! I legit just found this channel but I’m already looking forwards to seeing more! Keep up the good work! ❤

STINGER FLYNN
holY SHIT!!!
Absolutely amazing video! Loved the jokes, the critiques, and the random science facts about leucistic axolotls lol. Looking forward to seeing what fantastic stuff you make next! 🎉✨️
One of the most entertaining videos I've watched all week. Please keep up the good work 🎉🎉🎉
Wow, this vid was really good! Keep up the good work and keep pumping content out, you are really onto something here!
I'm going to be completely honest, I thought this was some big channel that I somehow missed (which is completely normal as I am known to not know who lady gaga) but I've been pleasantly surprised, I saw your most recent video and already subscribed from the sheer personality you have, good luck on your journey!
Wow I’m happy this got recommended to us!! Definitely subscribed, loved y\the quality and your sense of humor and interests seem to match so of ours as well!
I hope this is the video that spurs you to the audience you really want in making youtube videosl this was a blast to watch :)
Oh man this channel is gonna get huge fast, amazing content!! Love the humor, the editing, your character! Hyped to be here early LESSGOOO
This is such a strong start to your channel!! Hoping for only good things to come for you!! :]
WONDERFUL VIDEO!!!
also your character sprites are ADORABLE!!!!!! x3
Man I just gotta say I have watched through all four of your videos so far in a row, and I adore what you're putting out. Your avatar is cute as hell and I love your narration style. You come off very knowledgeable and positive, but fair. Here's to more great videos!
this video is so underrated! by far the best and funniest video on this i’ve seen :)
Wow. This is a fresh video straight from the factory! Love it!
A nice start for your channel, hope it all goes smoothly.
I can’t wait to see your future videos. You have such an underrated channel.
Really excited to see more from this channel. I am happy I stumbled upon this video! This game kind of bored me a little, but it is pretty cool when it’s being displayed right!
Amazing video (and model!!! ^^) I saw a couple of playthroughs and needed a more explanatory vid like yours, great stuff keep it up ^^
Good stuff! This isn't bad at all for a first swing at a video essay. Subscribed!
Kinito is love, Kinito is life.
I think the best/the saddest thing about kinito is that he genuinely just wants to be ur friend. He dosent understand what he did wrong but still thanks u for ur short time together before he’s erased
I am wildly impressed that this is your first video, and I’m glad that I get to be here early even if I am sad there’s only two videos for me to watch. You have a very good editing and video style and I’m excited to see what you come up with in the near future!
"Suck it, Ty Pennington!"
THIS WAS NOT A REFERENCE I EXPECTED BUT I AM ALL FOR IT!!!!
I can't beleive this was the first video - your quality is fantastic Dusky. Cant wait to check out a stream in the future ^^
It’s a shame that the writing scare didn’t work, because Kinito writing out “Are you really autism?” would’ve been such an incredible clip.
For a first video, this is some genuinely great effort, definitely worth a sub
13:07 was not expecting this but i love it
God daym absolute banger, love the editting, hoping for more like this, great video!
thanks!! please don't use my real name on youtube though lmao
@GlamrockDusky Heh sorry, editted the comment, you may wanna blur ur name out in the part near the beginning where your actual files pop up then if you dont want your name out yet!
@@32_qt It's fine there because I use it for game work haha, but I just don't really like being *called* it online yknow lmao
@GlamrockDusky yes of course my bad!
i love your channel :0 you have a very nice voice and with your mic and editing quality i assumed you had like a billion subs by now lol. excited to see where you go from here :]
Nice always love me some horror desktop games, and I liked how ya covered it hope to see more videos like it ❤ 👌
Stylistic avatar, Rouge the Bat is your favorite pet, lots of Sonic references throughout your videos. Yep, I knew I recognized that artstyle anywhere. Cool colors though.
DUSKY FANS EATING GOOD
Epic video, underrated af, subbed
I got you recommended on a Matpat video and I just wanna say, absolutely subbed. Awesome stuff!
12:19 pov kinito:"what the hell was that?BUNNY!?"
18:17 “it is full of carpet” I’m sorry WHAT 😭😂
yum
Aye Aye aye. found myself another great channel.
good video and crisp quality.
Jesus christ I thought you had at LEAST 5K subs or smth this is high quality shit that's underrated af
CZcams is very on hit with the random recommendations as of late. Good shit and keep going mate.
Completely new viewer, really enjoy your style, and the fact that you have Placid Plastic Duck Simulator on your desktop deserves a subscribe, GOTY every year
I love your character they look so cool!!
Great first video❤
This is a great video, funny edits
Dust: This was really well made, nice job! :3
this is your first video?? call me pika surprised :0
unbeatable ahh thumbnail 😭🙏 (awesome video btw)
been here before 10k :> (or possibly even more!),i hope this channel grows big,genuinely hooked by this channel while having less than 3 videos (in the main channel) :D
I have run out of content, but now I'm subscribed, great work with both your videos!
I dunno if you take recommendations, but the meta aspect of this reminds me of two other awesome games that I think really needs more coverage: Outcore and Buddy Simulator 1984. Both have horror elements but are majority actually less horror games strictly, Outcore uses the desktop thing too, but I think is even smoother, and it's FREE! Buddy Simulator is quite interesting, and the background story is intriguing I think
Nice one
Great video
Hope you reach 1K subs soon!
I am legit surprised this is your first video. Amazing quality
Congratulations you made it into my recommendations. You’re going to be a star.
Yooo I watched a playthrough a bit ago and thought it was really cool!
5:02 I thought this was Stinger Flynn for a moment, the GOBB brain rot is real ISWTG
