all in all I really liked kinitopet with the exception of the "real life" segments. the hard cuts to dimly-lit survival horror felt stylistically jarring and overly obvious for a game that's mostly a psychological horror period piece

#bolo liveblogs #kinitopet #...which may be on me for seeking out a game that's firmly in the kiddie horror genre but ymmv #the ''computer world'' bits are so lovely and so dedicated to depicting the time period and its technology #and the irl segments which are ostensibly photorealistic but can't quite hack it are lackluster by comparison.#it reminds me of how early pixar was known for making movies about toys/bugs/other nonhuman entities *because* they knew they #couldn't make realistic-looking humans with the technology they had at the time. so they just didn't!#''deliberately low-fi stylized indie game looks better than triple A title that aims for photorealism but can't render every last hair''#many such cases!
