[Chilla's Art] The Kidnap | 誘拐事件

The beginning was honestly absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was built up really well and I genuinely thought this was finally going to be one of the better Chilla’s Art games. Unfortunately after that the game completely falls apart and goes right back into the typical Chilla’s Art formula, creepy old guy, stalking and then an ending with a kidnapping without any real twist or anything interesting being done with it. Anyone who has played a Chilla’s Art game before already knows that the characters rarely have much depth or act completely logically, but here every single character behaved so unbelievably irrationally that at some point I wasn’t even annoyed anymore and just started laughing. Because of that the game loses almost all of its atmosphere. And honestly I don’t think anyone really knows what the clown was supposed to be. Sure, you could say it represents the psyche or imagination of a child, but in my opinion it was just poorly executed and didn’t work at all. That is what makes it so disappointing with Chilla’s Art because they constantly show that they have good ideas and could actually write genuinely good stories. But it feels like once you reach the halfway point everything becomes completely absurd again, the characters start acting unbelievably stupid and instead of building interesting horror it just turns unnecessarily trashy. The worst part is not even that it becomes trashy, it’s that the entire time you can feel there was potential for something much better.

Decent little horror game.

PLEASE get your trash bags out the house! Rules for trash in Japan might sound insane but I swear it's really easy!!!!!

Гра нічо така, мамка дура але норм 6/10 . Рекомендую пройти по приколу :) Смішна японська індюшка

就喜欢这种脱离了怪力乱神，直击社会阴暗角落的恐怖游戏，总体体验下来虽然bug很多，但是剧情依然相当精彩。讲述了两个家庭的不幸。没有真正意义上的好结局。却有真正意义上的惊悚，无论是阁楼藏尸还是午夜追逐都让人身临其境尤其是梦中遭遇的小丑简直让人心脏骤停，不过这一作的变态大叔，显然没有《闭店事件》和《Parasocial》里的跟踪狂和恶臭男那么吓人甚至看起来有点慈祥。而主角悲惨的家庭，比同学们口中绑架孩子的恐怖小丑更令人窒息则真正让这部作品的主题得到了升华。

I especially liked the school scene, but the most endings were the same. I wished to see something different. [spoiler] Also, what was the letter for if the man is not related to the main character's mother? [/spoiler]

I really enjoyed the story in this one, even if the premise of it is a bit sad. I do think the dev went a bit overboard with the dirty house but I do also understand why it was created in that way.

Наверное, вторая любимая игра от этих разработчиков после The Closing Shift. Графика лично мне здесь нравится больше, чем в Parasocial, хотя некоторые проблемы всё ещё присутствуют. Механика сбора карточек понравилась, хотя, чтобы собрать все, пришлось перепройти часть игры. Нравится, что здесь присутствует больше взаимодействия с персонажами И С КОТОМ. Ну и хоррор, разумеется, как всегда на высоте. Хотелось бы только отметить, что некоторые концовки вызывают вопросы: [spoiler]в доме Незнакомца всё в крови, на чердаке труп, но в концовках с арестом главный герой почему-то упорно пытается убедить полицию в том, что Незнакомец никому не хотел причинить зла. Возможно, это детская наивность - в конце концов, у нас ранее случается разговор, в котором детки уверены, что похитить их могут только ради выкупа...[/spoiler] А так - всё в лучших традициях Chilla's Art. Надеюсь, в будущем именно таких игр они будут выпускать побольше :)
