Kids

About

Kids is a brief, meditative point-and-click game where you navigate a lone figure through crowded scenes. Your goal is to maneuver around groups of people until they all disappear, leaving you alone in each setting. The controls are simple, click to move, but the experience leans into quiet observation. Each scene unfolds like a small, surreal theater performance, with no dialogue or explicit guidance. The lack of urgency lets you linger on details, from the way crowds shift to the subtle animations of individual characters. Created by Michael Frei and Mario von Rickenbach, the duo behind the acclaimed Plug & Play, Kids feels like a digital sketchbook come to life. At under 20 minutes, it’s a minimalist experiment in spatial interaction and mood. Community feedback often calls it “puzzling yet calming,” with many noting how its simplicity contrasts with deeper themes of isolation and connection. Available on multiple platforms, it’s a quick but memorable detour for players seeking something quiet and abstract.
