The game's narrative unfolds gradually through the treasure hunting experience, with the protagonist Kili able to "inspect" items in each room, triggering associated stories that enrich the overall plot. This unique storytelling approach keeps players engaged as they uncover the goals of their adventure.
“The choice of narrative is really interesting, in which the story is told gradually through the discovery of the goals of the treasure hunting.”
“Kili has the ability to 'inspect' everything in each room, and when doing so she typically recalls a story associated with each item.”

The gameplay of Kili's Treasure is brief, taking about an hour to complete, and features mechanics that some players find lacking. However, it compensates for this with an emotional narrative that resonates deeply, particularly regarding the theme of coping with the loss of a pet.
“Kili's Treasure is short and sweet -- literally, I completed it in an hour -- and its mechanics leave something to be desired, but it ultimately leaves me with happy tears and a powerful message about leaving room in your heart after the passing of a beloved pet.”
