Reviews
- The game features a compelling anthology of stories that explore heavy themes such as abuse and societal pressures, making for a thought-provoking experience.
- Each episode offers unique gameplay mechanics and artistic styles, keeping the experience fresh and visually engaging.
- The characters are well-written and relatable, with strong emotional arcs that enhance the overall narrative.
- The gameplay can be frustrating, particularly in the second and third episodes, where mechanics like point-and-click and constant running can detract from the experience.
- Some puzzles are poorly designed or vague, leading to confusion and a lack of clarity on how to progress.
- The game suffers from a language barrier, as it is primarily in Chinese, which limits accessibility for non-Chinese speaking players.

The story of "Kidz" is an anthology centered around children navigating a harsh and bizarre world, with each episode presenting unique narratives that explore themes of survival, parenthood, and dystopia. While some stories resonate deeply, such as a mother's quest to understand her daughter's disappearance, others may leave players puzzled, yet the overall storytelling is engaging and complemented by varied gameplay mechanics. The combination of cute art and intriguing plots enhances the casual horror experience, making it appealing to a wide audience.
“Kidz is a good casual horror game, and while I won't go into the story too much since it's an anthology, the narrative revolves around children trying to survive in a cruel world.”
“Episode 2 was quite good as you get to experience two stories; the first story about a mom trying to figure out why her daughter ran away was especially heartbreakingly beautiful.”
“The third story was good, with themes highlighting the importance of parenthood set against a dystopian society that practices eugenics.”
“The bizarre content makes the plot jump so fast.”
“The second story was okay; I didn't really get it, but I did love the bad ending where the girl turned into a peacock that was pretty ghoulish.”
“Kidz is a good casual horror game, now this is the part where I talk about the story a bit, but the game is an anthology so I won't go into the story too much like I do with my other reviews, the story for this game is children trying to survive in a cruel world.”

The gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring a mix of mechanics across its anthology episodes, with the first episode offering engaging light puzzles and combat, while the second episode relies on a point-and-click format that can disrupt immersion. However, the third episode's constant running and challenging obstacles lead to frustration, detracting from the overall experience. Despite these issues, the game is considered a good casual horror title with unique mechanics for each chapter.
“The gameplay for the most part is good, and like the story being an anthology, the gameplay is a mixture of different styles. For the first episode, you basically have to shoot ghosts with your flashlight cell phone and solve light puzzles. It was pretty good; the combat could be a bit annoying but wasn't too bad, and the puzzles were good—not too hard, even if you have to brute force your way through.”
“Okay, with that said, this game is a good casual horror experience, with really good stories, for the most part good gameplay, and good characters.”
“All three chapters each have a unique fun mechanic.”
“Episode 2's gameplay is a bit of a pain; essentially, it's just point and click with puzzle solving.”
“The gameplay for the third episode is frustratingly bad; your character is always running, and you have to jump and dodge to get to the end.”
“In Episode 2, the gameplay is a point and click game, but the problem is that there's a meter that fills up if you click too many times, which kicks you out of the level. It really pulls you out of the experience.”

“The music and art are really cute, and the small bit of story I've seen so far is very interesting.”

Players express frustration with the monetization aspect of the game, particularly due to a broken achievement linked to an external cable channel's disconnection, which hinders their ability to complete the game fully. This has led to calls for the removal of the achievement to improve player satisfaction.
“The last achievement I want is broken because the cable channel that advertised its ads in the game disconnected its service. I really wish they would remove the achievement since I've completed all the others.”
“The monetization strategy feels exploitative, as it pushes players to spend money to enjoy the game fully.”
“It's frustrating that essential content is locked behind paywalls, making it hard to progress without spending extra money.”
