### 4/5 — Good

*2026-07-16, version 1.2.0*

Weird. Weirdest game i’ve ever played. That’s why it’s fun. But… Should be $0.99 or free

### 3/5 — interesting but not worth buying

*2025-11-28*

The game does lean more towards a story. Because of this id expect the idea to be more interesting but im completely lost in what its trying to say, so id say it failed as a story. In addition you have some, but a lot of your free will in the game is taken away (you're forced to follow the story). It just kinda ended and i wasnt entertained.. and i cant play it again... and im not seeing its message. I was considering just watching someone play it but i decided to buy it and not spoil it. Now i think i wouldve rather just watched someone. ps its very repetitive and unpredictable

### 2/5 — Cute but not worth the price

*2025-06-27, version 1.1.1*

I literally beat this game in 15mins. It’s the same puzzles over and over again. If I get a chance I will refund the game. 

On a positive note, the game has a cute art style and indie feel to it.

### 4/5 — 4/5 only so little complaints but still enjoyed it

*2024-10-19*

I saw laurenzside play this game, so I figured eventually when I get a checking account I would buy this and I don’t regret it much, the voice acting, the soundtrack, sound as well as the overall asthethic I had fun with this game, the only criticism is that I wish it had more levels and maybe more creative ones, I’m not saying the ones we got aren’t creative tbh I found some of them very memorable and tell a story I just wish there was more, another thing I found annoying is the fact it picks you up where you left off I just feel like it ruins the experience don’t get me wrong I like going back to levels while at the same time, I don’t know how to explain it too well also I didn’t get why this was 3 dollars sure it could of been worse and this is art don’t get me wrong, but that dosent mean I don’t love it, this was very memorable and I would definitely get into more of playables games if given the chance!

### 3/5 — No one listens to me

*2024-07-28, version 1.1.1*

Why, just why?

### 4/5 — Wow

*2022-01-16, version 1.0.4*

I just finished playing and It’s a good game but it can be slightly confusing. It’s a good game and I could definitely get the theme of the app fast.

### 4/5 — Cool

*2021-08-30, version 1.0.4*

Such a Good!

### 2/5 — 伝えたい事があるのだろうけど分からない

*2021-08-16*

YouTubeで見たことあったので、まぁ話の種に買ってみました。やったら約10分で終了.....。え？まじ？って思いました。本当に300円の価値があるかと言われれば無いかなと感じます。

内容をちゃんと知っていれば120円でも買わないと思います。

### 5/5 — すごく考えさせられる

*2021-05-26*

このゲームに低評価つけてる人はきっと、「アート」ってものを知らずに、ただのゲームだとしか思ってないんだと思います。自分的にはこのゲームは凄く考えさせられるアートとゲームが混ざったものだと思いました。とても良かったです

### 3/5 — Kinda cool but dunno why I paid for it…

*2021-05-12*

The other reviews are pretty much spot on.  It’s not really a game, but closer to an “interactive experience”.  Probably the right term is “kinda interesting tech demo”.  

It’s like a very polished version of something a student would come up with for a semester project in a game design course.  It’s very short as noted in other reviews (less than an hour, most of which is a rehash of roughly 5 different scenes).  

$3 isn’t much and I wanted to check it out.  I rarely regret spending $3 on a game, but I kinda do in this case.  I’m not sure why they’re even charging for something like this, it’s literally just a short tech demo. 

I hope they make a game of some sort in the future, maybe that would be cool.  Dunno.  I’d save my money on this one though.

### 5/5 — yes

*2021-03-04, version 1.0.4*

yes.

### 2/5 — Gut gemacht, aber...

*2021-02-20*

Geld nichts Wert. Zu wenig Spieldauer, keine Steigende Schwierigkeit, dafür zu teuer.

### 5/5 — Satisfying and beautiful

*2021-02-01, version 1.0.4*

Also haunting and funny. Shirt but great 💫⭐️🔥

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2021-01-27*

The concept is amazing <3

### 5/5 — I loved it.

*2020-12-15*

It was short but I felt like the experience was worth the couple of dollars. It’s a piece of interactive art to make you think. It does say in the description it’s only the 15-30 minutes so I think people just need to read.

### 2/5 — 재미없어도 심오해보여서 좋긴한데

*2020-10-18*

한 5분만에 끝나는 게임이 4천원은 좀.,

### 1/5 — I lost my money

*2021-12-07, version 1.0.4*

Don’t buy it’s a scam I lost my money on this game

### 1/5 — Sah interessant aus ….

*2021-10-21*

Aber für 2,99€ echt total enttäuschend, nach 15 Minuten ist das Spiel vorbei und noch dazu ist nicht mal eine richtige Herausforderung gegeben 😂😂😂 Spart euch das Geld lieber für einen Döner 👆🏼👌🏼

### 1/5 — No

*2021-02-25, version 1.0.4*

Noooooo

### 1/5 — 極めて退屈

*2020-08-14*

Gigazineで紹介されていたこと、キャプチャ画像が面白うだったことから購入してみました。
特段インタラクティブというわけでもなく、BGMも付いておらず、私には退屈でした。
まだ農作業系のゲームの方がやりがいがある（やらないけど）と思いました。

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2020-02-06, version 1.0.4*

This game is a complete waste of 3 dollars all you do is watch these weird people do weird stuff and a lot of the scenes are reused multiple times and i have no idea why it costs this much, do NOT buy this game if you actually want entertainment.

### 1/5 — C pt

*2020-01-16*

N’achetez surtout pas

### 1/5 — 高過ぎる

*2019-10-20*

途中で飽きてしまった。

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2019-08-22, version 1.0.3*

This app is seriously not worth paying for it. its pointless and dumb. this should be free especially for a mobile game.

### 1/5 — 3,49€ pour sa !?

*2019-08-12*

Rapport qualité temps / prix nul

### 1/5 — Don’t buy that

*2019-08-12*

This game is empty and non sense. The longest part is figuring out how to be refund

### 5/5 — People who found it repetitive obviously don’t get the point

*2026-03-04*

It’s called KIDS and people are complaining that it’s repetitive, you don’t have real choices like they expected to going into it, they’re searching for a meaning to it all, they don’t feel like it’s streamlined or has a real narrative, it just goes on and on and then suddenly it’s over without you feeling like you got a real ending. And they still don’t get it. And it’s called “KIDS” smh lol. It’s perfect, honestly.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-02-15*

I think it’s a great game and I like the music at the end. I also heard they made it just so they could show how the kids move.

### 5/5 — Power of the powers

### 5/5 — KIDS these days…

*2023-08-10*

Great game. It was a little expensive though. There are 34 levels. Each of them are about a minute or less. How do I know how many levels there are? After you finish it shows you a picture for each level and when you tap it you get teleported to that level. Kudos to you if you also found or find it. Here are a few things I would like to change. 1. More levels! I was hoping for maybe 50. 2.Too expensive maybe lower the price by a dollar or two.  3. Maybe give us a hint if we don’t know what to do. It took me a while to figure out what to do on the level with the two lines of stampeding kids. 4. You should have a mode where you can change white to black and black to white. They had this mode in a game called hidden folks. Thank you for listening to my opinions. Don’t listen to everyone who thinks this game is trash. P.s, the music is still ringing in my ears :)

### 5/5 — A Masterpiece

*2021-11-03, version 1.0.4*

Deeply philosophical. Brilliant. Raised questions. Do we have free will or are we foolish sheep? If you’re god, would you spare or punish. Tests the boundaries of our inner sainthood and sadistic desires.

### 5/5 — bom jogo
