Great game and story. Sound is excellent and adds to the mood
I would definitely recommend this game as one of your first Chilla's art plays. Its not the scariest game but its still very thrilling and very emotional. However, there were some cons to it. here's a list of a few things i enjoyed about the game, and things i didn't enjoy as much. For starters, with things i enjoyed, i loved how the game wasn't too long or too short, it was the perfect amount of time for all the content consumed. a couple other things i enjoyed was how interesting the story was and how fun the gameplay was. There was a handful of fun puzzles, which really made the game more interesting to play. Moving onto things i dint enjoy as much, the game didn't have much guidance at times, and sometimes it was hard to figure out what to do. There isn't really anything else negative to say about it aside from that, so i hope this review comes across as helpful to anyone who is thinking about purchasing this game! - Shelby the worm
Скоро так точно выучу японский язык играя в игры от японцев). 8/10
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 :)

comment: Another good game from Chilla's Art. 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.
Dünn an echtem Plot. Die Atmosphäre hat mir aber vollkommend gereicht um mich einzuscheißen. Ab dem Zeitpunkt des (Spoiler) Kidnaps nimmt es ganz an Horror ab. Ziemlich schade,
잼있네

공포게임을 떠나서 하나의 서사와 전개, 결말이 예상을 빗겨나가니 좋았음
뭘 상상하든 그 이상임 ㄹㅇㅋㅋ
엄청 무서운 공포게임은 아니고, 추격전의 비중이 높은 편입니다. 놀래키는 것도 얼마 없고 무섭지도 않지만,
플레이하는 내내 기분이 별로 좋지 않았네요.
게임이 나쁘다기 보다, 사람이 나쁘네요.
정말 몰입해서 게임 즐겼습니다. 감사합니다.
I am really enjoying the way Chilla's Art horror games evolved over the years. They started from the paranormal horror genre and in recent years dipped more into the realistic, real life horror/crime like the ones you read in news articles - stalkers, children disappearances, and in this case, the act of kidnapping, and severe parental neglect.
You play as a country-side small town elementary school child who has being severely neglected by his mother. Chilla's Art tried to show the hardships a child experiences when you have a parent who is highly irresponsible.
This is one of Chilla's art's more story-oriented horror game. I would say it's lighter on the horror side, and more on the character building/story telling. In one section of the game it even became a bit of abstract/using the unreliable narrator storytelling.
I actually quite enjoyed the way the drama/story is constructed in this entry. I don't remember playing as a Japanese elementary school kid in any of Chilla's Art's previous games, so this was in a way a fun and new experience playing their games. Kinda reminds me of my own upbringing as well, so kudos to Chilla's Art.
I was able to complete this game in about 90 minutes, seeing two endings, one (good?), one bad, and I think there are two more bad endings I can do. So you can probably finish the game completely in about two hours.
PLEASE get your trash bags out the house! Rules for trash in Japan might sound insane but I swear it's really easy!!!!!
[h1]Esse sim é o MELHOR jogo feito pelas Chilla's até hoje[/h1]
The Kidnap é uma história sobre negligência de uma mãe com seus filhos. A filha mais velha tinha que cuidar da casa e fazer tudo porque a mãe não aparecia em casa ou chegava e não falava com eles, e quando falava, era para reclamar. A filha mais velha percebeu a situação e deu seu jeito de chamar a atenção da mãe.
A atmosfera e a história desse jogo são com certeza as melhores da empresa. O jogo tem 3 finais diferentes, e no final em que você [spoiler]decide desobedecer a irmã e fugir para pedir ajuda[/spoiler] o jogo fica tenso e muito melhor.
Se dependesse de mim, todo mundo jogaria esse jogo, pois os Devs se esforçaram bastante e é perceptível. Nota 10/10
Очень хорошая игра, мне особенно понравилась часть где у тебя есть выбор либо остаться, или же сбежать, при выборе "сбежать" начинается небольшая стелс-головоломка которая довольно простая, и после побега есть ещё куча выборов которые влияют на концовку. Очень рекомендую попробовать
veramente bello
This one had a deeper meaning than the other ones I've played. i made a commentary video on this one. If you play all the way, read my comment or watch my video as it spoils the game.
the mother abandons the children in every scenario. she is abusive in all endings and the children have to suffer the consequences of her choices. In the last ending, she says "children are happy when they listen to their parents". This game highlights in a short and precise way that children have no automony over their life and this is a prison they are not able to escape. In every ending, the mother causes suffering to them either by abandoning them again or by selfishly blaming the Mister, which gets her killed and still cause pain to her kids.
my channel is mcasteam on yt if you want a little deep dive or more like this :)
На данный момент одна из самых криповых игр от Chilla's Art. Скримеры страшные не от их неожиданного появления, а от самой атмосферы игры, которая держит тебя в напряжении все игровое время. В игре раскрываются достаточно серьезные социальные темы: от взаимотношений в семье и до похищения детей.
Заставляет задуматься...
Ебучие шары
idk what is up with chilla art games. it freaks me out so much and gets me sweating. prob the creepy faces or the atmosphere. worth to try if theres a big sale tho
Excellent jeu !!!!
Bonne histoire et tres bon deroule de l'histoire !!!
Histoire un peu glauque quand meme !!
Je conseille sans hesitation
me encanto es como sorpresa
ООооочень крутой и атмосферный хоррор) как обычно чилаус на высоте.
Original and very enjoyable. Every title of Chilla's art is good tho.

이번에도 삐급이겟지 ㅋㅋ 하고 했다가
은근.. 무섭고 반전이었어서 놀랐던 게임
그럭저럭 할만함 나쁘지 X
Really enjoyed this one. I've played a few Chilla's Art games and this one was very entertaining and well made. Enjoyed the 2 hours very much. Very decent story and nice variety of mini games.
一股日式游戏风格的变态感觉，很符合预期，推荐！
Spoiler:
Gry horror, w których bohaterem jest dziecko, są w mojej opinii jednymi z najstraszniejszych, ponieważ jesteśmy wtedy osobą bezbronną, naiwną, strachliwą. Ta gra pokazuje grozę bycia dzieckiem na wielu płaszczyznach. Nie tylko samo porwanie bez dorosłego, obcego mężczyznę, lecz przede wszystkim, kompletne zaniedbanie przez matkę, jej bezduszne traktowanie swoich pociech - to jest prawdziwy horror. Serdecznie polecam tę grę, ponieważ straszy nie tylko deszcz, las i dziwny mężczyzna ale i brud, samotność i brak miłości.
반전 ㄷㄷㄷ
хороший парень жаль ушел
gioco molto bello con tanta tensione ma dopo tutto molto bello!
O jogo é ok, há uma certa tensão no início mas ela se perde, porque fica claro que não estamos em perigo de verdade. Se procura um jogo que vá te deixar tenso do início ao fim, esse não é uma boa opção
아저씨랑 카레 먹는게 더 행복할거같아
깔끔한 삼다수 느낌
★☆☆☆☆
I love the Chilla's Art games so much, man. They just have their own special charm to them.
ストーリーが面白かった
雰囲気や恐怖演出も良い
Sister has some serious problems... Also fck clowns!
Decent game, cool scares
pretty cool game till you get to the chase im assuming shift is broken and does not work i wish companies like this made sure mechanics work before releasing anything to sell also explain how shift works seems clearly broken, i can not recommend because if im struggling to get past a part with a broken mechanic i shall not recomend this to friends that may struggle as well,
Overall, I like these games, but I hate when they're overly stuffed with chores for padding. This is one of the worst for that.
Played it first time on stream. My 14 viewers liked it and I found it engaging too. Tbh, these games feel sooo real. The never ending cycle of abuse and violence
so good
Sin duda, el mejor de su desarrollador. Una historia turbia e interesante, jugabilidad variada, duración aceptable y rejugable para sacarse todos sus finales. Recomendado!!!

I recommend this game. In some parts it really gave me the goosbumps. Great atmosphere and liked the dabing.
Está bien, un poco de miedo por persecución y una que otra parte de sigilo. Altamente recomendado que intentes sacar todos los finales.
아동 학대, 유괴 같은 중범죄에 대한 위험성, 심각성을 잘 표현한 작품.
플레이 하면서 무섭다기보단 안타깝다는 생각이 더 많이 들었던 것 같습니다.
적절한 점프스케어, 씁쓸한 분위기, 사운드, 스토리 모두 훌륭한 게임이니 꼭 해보시길 추천드립니다.

вообще нету скримеров, круто! брайн советую!!!!
One of the Best Chilla's Art Games there is. Dark as hell, and feels deep without taking a huge time investment to beat! Wish there was a bit more variety for the endings, more of the alternative ones feel like dead ends instead, but the true ending makes up for it and sticks with you.
I loved the unsettling atmosphere of this one, the jump scares weren't too bad and I didn't expect it to playout how it did, I finished all endings and indeed had a favorite one, I'm sure you'll figure out which.
BROOOOO THIS ONE'S CRAZYYYYYY
обоже 8/10

游戏依旧很棒，体验了他们好几款游戏了，都十分推荐
Итак, наконец-то я прошёл этот хоррор спустя год после его покупки. На самом деле тематика и посыл этой игры очень хороши в плане полезности. Не буду описывать это для тех, кто ещё не проходил игру и просто сидит да читает обзоры. Скажу только, что их игры основаны либо на японской мифологии и легендах, либо на современных проблемах (сталкинг, похитители и т.д.). По поводу того, что я прошёл спустя год - это не значит, что она плохая и всё такое. Просто я смотрел её прохождение, знал сюжет, поэтому и не появлялось желаний проходить то, что уже видел и знаешь. Не буду разливать воду в обзор и распишу личные плюсы и минусы игры (может быть кому-то пригодится):
Плюсы:
1. Сюжет.
2. Атмосфера в плане природы.
3. Атмосфера в плане страха.
4. Концовка. Ох как же я радовался.
Минусы:
1. *ко мне не относится* Скримеры. Многие играют в хоррор из-за них, но они тут банальные и не страшные, да и кол-во маленькое (мне лично без разницы, атмосфера - это то, зачем я сюда прихожу).
2. Некоторые персонажи. Чтобы сюжет казался хорошим, нужно делать тупых персонажей. Для тех кто прошёл, приведу пример: сестра, ну что это за тупица, ясное дело семейные проблемы и кукуха слетела, но кто в здравом смысле будет делать *ТАКОЕ*.
3. *и снова ко мне не относится* Графика. Данная студия делает специально такую графику, она придаёт нужный тон хоррорам и помогает вникнуть в события. Но даже я, любитель такой графики, иногда офигеваю от некоторых странных деталей, то куст растёт через шкаф, то лица персонажей выглядят так, будто они занимались мьюингом 30 лет (а им не больше 12).
Опять же повторюсь, эти плюсы и минусы основаны на моём опыте и мнении, кто-то может хейтить эту студию как аниме, не зная нормальных эталонов жанра, а кто-то и восхвалять чересчур. А вообще игру советую, но тогда, 1) когда вы не смотрели её прохождение; 2) очень полюбили студию и просто коллекционируете их игры у себя в библиотеке; 3) слишком понравилась игра. Удачного прохождения и спасибо за прочтение данного обзорчика :)
its a very fun game to play, it did not talk long or have any boring parts its just so good!! i would definitely recommend this game to everyone i know!!
한적한 동네에서 발생하는 아동 유괴 사건을 소재로 한 Chilla's Art의 공포 게임. 일본 특유의 일상적 공포가 잘 녹아 있다. 짧은 분량 속에서 사회의 어두운 면을 꼬집는 점은 좋지만, 스토리는 전개와 반전 모두 깊이가 얕다.
평점: 6/10
its my fav game of chillas since 2023 and its already 2025, i just cant express at all how i luv this game and the lore, everything just fits, its one of those games u can only think "sh, i cant explain this to someone, its an experience"

Sehr sehr gutes Horrorgame...
Die Story ist auch sehr gut und hat mich berührt, da diese zeigt, wie sehr Kinder ihre Eltern (ob Mama oder Papa) lieben, auch wenn die Beziehung schwierig ist.
Es waren einige Jumpscares dabei die mich sehr erschrocken haben, aber genau sowas erwarte ich von einem Horrorgame.
Grafik und Audio fand ich auch sehr gut gelungen (so wie ich es von ChillarsArt gewöhnt bin)
Gerne weitere solcher Games bitte.
The video game lock ruined it for me. Couldn’t get past it.

Minijuegos que no aportan nada. Historia superficial. No me gusta perder tiempo. FIn.

この作品は日本の学校が出てくるので、とても親近感が湧きます。なのでこの作品は太宰治先生に薦めたいぐらいです。実に素晴らしい。
[h1]Одна из самых дорогих игр шиншиллы и она вообще того не стоит[/h1]
Это не симулятор работы, а симулятор школьника. Проснулся, прибрался, сходил в школу, потупил с одноклассниками и т.д. Игра вайбовая, игра красивая, но ни атмосферой, ни скримерами не пугало, хоть и пыталась. Серость будней, какие-то мелкие задачки... Это всё расслабляет и тут [spoiler]появляется бабайка, что читаемо[/spoiler]. Сюжет есть, не такой уж и плохой, но! Если прошлые части пытались развить только одну линию и выходило достаточно неплохо, то тут попытались в вариативность и получилась игра из линейной и хотяб приближенной к средней, в короткую линейную с обрубками концовок. Почему всё же лайк? Как и описано ранее, игра атмосферная. Локации, свет, фильтры... Визуально игра зацепила меня ещё со скринов, а геймплей... Лично я проникся этим бытом школьника, пусть и суммарно получил немного мрачный рассказ, чем ожидаемый ужастик.
아이들은 우리의 미래입니다.
Eine nette Geschichte.
Wobei man die Familie alles andere als nett bezeichnen kann.
Dennoch ein cooles Spiel von Chillas Art, wie auch nicht anders zu erwarten.
The Kidnap shows just how much Chilla’s Art has evolved, shifting from purely paranormal horror into unsettling, real-world stories rooted in neglect, crime, and emotional trauma. This time, you play as a neglected elementary school child in a rural town, and the horror comes less from monsters and more from harsh reality. It’s a quieter, heavier experience that focuses on atmosphere, discomfort, and empathy rather than constant scares.
This is one of Chilla’s Art’s most story-driven titles, leaning hard into character development and narrative tension. The game experiments with unreliable narration and abstract storytelling, blurring what’s real and what’s perceived through a child’s eyes. While the horror is lighter than titles like Night Security or Parasocial, the emotional weight hits harder, especially in how it portrays parental neglect and vulnerability.
At roughly 90 minutes with multiple endings, The Kidnap is concise but impactful. It feels grounded, mature, and uncomfortably real, tackling themes that are rarely handled with this level of seriousness in horror games. It may not be the scariest Chilla’s Art release, but it’s one of the most memorable and emotionally resonant.

Juego pequeño de terror como nos tiene bien acostumbrados el autor. Aunque puede que esta vez no haya conseguido dar con la tecla al menos conmigo, intentando tratar una historia algo dura de abusos y abandono infantil ni termina de narrarla de forma adecuada y tampoco llega a trasmitir terror o una atmósfera lo suficientemente opresiva.
En cuanto a jugabilidad nada que decir a mayores siendo un walking simulator bastante limitado.
why dont people in this game take out trash?
A pretty interesting entry from Chilla's Art. There’s slight tension throughout, with a few twists along the way that keep the story engaging. The game’s premise echoes real-life fears and urban legends about kidnappings in Japan, adding an extra layer of unease. Like their other games, it’s short and to the point, with a dark story that unfolds nicely.
атмосфера клевая, скримеры нормальные, сюжет пойдет
👍👍
game nya seru dan menegangkan keren banget
Storyline was very good too bad there really isnt much of a 'good' ending.
前から思ってたんですが、お勧めするかしないかの二択しかなくて中間がないんですよね。ヒトコワ系は全部中間です。ヒトコワは怖くないですし、合う合わないは人によるかな。このゲームは期待してなかったんですが道化師が出てきて、意外と面白そう・・・と思ったんですがやっぱりヒトコワでした。怪異とか非現実のほうが怖くて楽しいです。この作品だけ値段が高いですが尺は他作品と同じくらいですね。容量はちょっと大きいみたいですが・・・。
안녕하세요
애기들 너무 불쌍해요. 엄마 진짜 나가실꺼면 곰탕 10인분 끓여두고, 삼촌이나 고모한테 연락해서 우리 좀 봐달라고 하시고, 그리고 간식이랑 이것저것 많이 사두고 나가라고 해주세요.
글고 누나 앞으로도 이런식이면 곤란해
재밌었습니다. 스토리가 탄탄하네요.
렌야가 웃었으니.. 그걸로 된 거겠죠...

chilla's artのすごいな作品中の二番め
нормик, приятная игра
I love how everything in this game feels "off". Even if it may not intentional, it creates a horror unlike many others.
Good game, could do better with less cheap jumpscares.
So the theme of the game is again very violent and extreme, the gameplay is quite suitable and you have a very tense and uncomfortable feeling while playing, but it also has some logical gaps, for example: when the sister is missing and you can't tell the teacher directly, but maybe children are like that dont know
6/10
Good Game
So boring I wasted hour and a half of my time
Desde la historia, el gameplay, los easter eggs y los finales, todo en este juego me fascino, pienso jugar todos los juegos de Chillas Art porque hasta el momento me esta gustando todo lo que han hecho, 10/10
Gosto bastante dos jogos da Chilla´s Art, merecia mais reconhecimento
Good one!
7.8/10
curti o jogo, bem legal, oq n curti muito e que quando vc quer configurar um botão novo, ele n salva, e se salva, fica só em uma parte, dps volta pro sistema original dele, de resto é um jogo legal, curti, fazer os 3 finais foi um tanto divertido kkkkkkkk
I found this to be one of the most compelling stories that Chilla's Art has told in their games, the video game aspect of it is a bit barren, as the interactivity in the world is quite limited, and finding the card packs and opening them as a collectible is just a waste of time because it takes forever and I don't need to see a bunch of random art, which I've never understood where it comes from in any of their games, but the story is intriguing, though feels somewhat unfinished, as, from what I played, none of the endings seem to reconnect to the opening scene, and the scare in the attic seems to be completely random and unrelated overall to the rest of the game. it also would have been nice for the clown to make a reappearance at some point in one of the endings. also, for once, the audio design in this game actually served to make it more effectively atmospheric, even though there are a few awful audio spikes/recording quality changes when some characters are speaking, but overall the sound and music was well done, so thank you. on top of that, this is one of the few chilla games I have launched and it doesn't immediately try and melt my gpu and runs at a normal frame rate so thank you so much now and forever and obligatory i have kidnapped hundreds upon thousands of women and keep them in my home and even then i still do not have a girlfriend and will always be alone thank you so much
