Kino fragmented Lynchian walking sim slop, the driving segments were real ♥♥♥♥♥♥ atmospheric

Didn't know what was happenning, but clearly that was the dev's goal. Loved the atmosphere, art style and music

I don't think I've ever played a game as intent on wasting your time as this one. I'd call it a walking simulator, but there are driving sections too, plus it would be an insult to walking sims. They usually have interesting things to read/look at/do mixed in with the walking. This is just interminable walking through the woods, with no clear goal or objective, until suddenly - apropos of nothing - the scene changes. Or driving a car down a featureless highway with no traffic and no intersections for so long I genuinely thought that there was a puzzle that I had to solve to progress that I couldn't figure out. No, it just goes on way, way, way too long.

The character's run speed is maybe a little slower than the walk speed in most games, and the walk speed makes snails look like Olympic sprinters. There's a section in the beginning of the game where you have to wait on an elevator. I have *never* waited as long on an elevator in any game I've ever played. Hell, I've seldom waited that long for an elevators in real life. I thought to myself, gee, I really hope this isn't a sign of what's to come....but unfortunately, it very much was.

The plot, such as it is, is completely unintelligible. Perhaps it would reveal more of itself upon subsequent playthroughs. I do not hate myself enough to find out. I would be absolutely irate if I had spent more than $5 for this, but at least the price was low. Still, I'm going to request a refund. Truly the only praise that I can give it is that it is short - I completed my first and only playthrough in about 44 minutes.
