      I initially thought this game was kind of mid on account of the story breaking kayfabe so often, but seeing the whole ARG cipher thing go far enough to seed clues in the frickin' Wayback Machine elevates this way above the experience of a regular Let's Play. Without falling down the cipher rabbit hole, you can't even figure out the actual plot, but the whole thing is actually pretty baller.

    I watched ManlyBadassHero play KinitoPET a few days ago, and there were a few differences between his video and yours:
    - Instead of Kinito asking if he could see you, Kinito asks why you were recording him. The program can recognise when OBS is running, and has a reaction to it, so instead of asking for a photo, he just takes one anyway saying that it was fair.
    - When it came to the part where you filled out your address and Kinito corrects it, Kinito comments how he doesn't want to reveal your address to your fans, but added in his creepy whispery voice "But just so you know I could". I think that's part of the streamer mode the game has.

      Very similar to one of my favorite moments in DDLC when Monika acknowledges you're recording or streaming the game.

  • @schleepy6362

    I do kinda wish the game didnt go so nuts with the analog horror stuff and just focused on the stuff that ACTUALLY makes viruses like Bonzi Buddy scary. The lack of knowledge about the thing you just allowed into your pc, and what it's going to do with the info it's obviously stealing from you. Instead, Kinito just takes all the info you give him and he makes a dream house out of it. That's... adorably endearing, not eerie in the slightest.
    The only point where they do scary stuff with the whole Bonzi Buddy idea is when Kinito pulls up your address to sign you up for an add-on that's OBVIOUSLY gonna harm your computer. THAT moment gave me chills. Even the webcam scare was weaker than that. I'm not scared of Bonzi Buddy showing up in my room at night and drinking all my pepsi, I'm scared of him exposing the (seemingly) safe space of my home PC to the dangers of the internet that I take for granted.

      And that is why you'd be the perfect victim. The first part, I mean. The greatest prison one can create is one where the prisoner never wants to leave. At that point, Kinito has everything it wants; it has your computer, your information, your life. All it needs now is for you to not go; to stay with it and play, because it has you entirely in it's grasp now.
      Bonzi Buddy was kinda similar, in a way. Nobody knew he was precisely malicious. He was just a friendly, silly purple monkey. And yet...

    I had a theory I wanted to put in but there wasn't enough evidence to support it, but I'm 99% sure that we are playing as Sonny's 'ghost' or 'soul'. Which would explain all of the comments saying 'remember who you are' etc. Again, there' isn't much to go on but that's what I think.

    • @WobblesandBean
      @WobblesandBean Před 3 měsíci +88

      You sure it's not Sonny in the game itself? Based on the ARG it sounds like he's trapped in there, too. Either that, or it's the simulacrum Kinito made. That would explain why he can contact you so easily, and why he's so confused about his own identity. Or maybe his body is gone, not by Self Crit but because Kinito claimed him, just like he claimed you in the first ending. Either way, he's still in there, trying to exert what little control he has to save you. He's had to watch all those people, mostly kids, get trapped. So he keeps trying, desperately hoping to prevent another soul from being claimed.
      That's also why the "remember who you are" stuff keeps popping up. It's Sonny telling you to remember yourself, if you forget like he did, then it's too late for you.
      But those are just my ideas 😅b

      It would be already banished from steam if it had any malicious intents. Also near all games copilot your mouse, just not in the way you think, FPS games tend to lock your mouse to the center of your screen when you're playing so you dont run out of mouse space or click out of the game accidentally. With the "do you agree/disagree", it is most likely in the EULA of the game, that you agree to the program doing these upon launching it.

    22:00 this part was super scary for me... until it reached the end of the canvas and kept drawing. my canvas was really small, so i could only see 'are you' before it started drawing in empty space. it even got one of the edges in one of the letters and shrunk the canvas even more. don't know why but it felt like a kid trying to be really scary by threatening you with a knife, only to realize they accidentally grabbed a butter knife instead.
    after that, even with everything being creepy and scary i kept feeling sad and almost sympathetic for Kinito? like no, i'm not afraid of the dark and i'm not afraid of this. the whole creepy world is odd but... it also has all my paintings and stuff so i felt really touched at the same time. it's not a surprise i chose to stay with him the first time

      I guess they get The Amazing Digital Circus'd, minus the headset? No clue how it's meant to work, but if he's just collecting data, then why would he ask the actual person to stay in his programming? If you answer "no," he gets mad and says you're staying anyway, and that he was trying to go easy on you by making it feel like a choice. It's weird either way TBH, but the implication seems to be he's actually out there stealing souls/minds to study. I think. He talks about "learning even more" and "becoming perfect" if the player says yes, but heck if I know how he achieves that.

  • @0tterhead
    @0tterhead Před 2 měsíci +4

    This game is very neat but also I personally feel its a good example of what not to do when making a horror game.
    It (possibly intentionally?) falls for some very unwelcome and mediocre tropes, like annoying or bright flashing images and colours, loud screamers, and the like. However, even if it was all intentional, intentionally bad doesn't mean that its no longer bad. Just means it's bad but aware, and not willing to avoid such pitfalls.

    Absolutely brilliant breakdown. Honestly feel like without the ARG elements, the experience is pretty basic. But understanding the scope (I didn't realize all of the files being deleted were hundred of Kinito's victims) adds a certain dreadful gravitas to the whole thing. I think the horror parts where Kinito acts insidious fall flat without realizing just how non-isolated Kinito is. He's attached to a server with a history of victory and success in being everyone's friend, so why shouldn't you be complying too?
    I think this video definitely improved my opinion on the game and project as a whole. Great video!
