A minimalist, surreal interactive animation where you push through and against a crowd, feeling a growing sense of isolation and unease.

What players say
Players see KIDS as a very short, surreal art piece that is more about a message than gameplay. Many compare it to a museum exhibit or short film, and reviews are split on whether that makes it work as a game.
