The Kidnap

The Kidnap is an atmospheric horror film inspired by classic Japanese horror films. The aesthetics and presentation are superb - the picture looks like it was shot on an old camera and is reminiscent of VHS films with interference, jittery screens and so on.

Review

The main character is an ordinary Japanese high school student. The events themselves take place not in a big city, but in the countryside. Here it has always been quiet and calm, but suddenly the disappearances of schoolchildren begin to occur.

All students are not on a joke scared, but despite this, classes continue. And while all shrouded in fear, protagonist decides to be brave and try to personally get to the truth and find out the reason for the disappearances.

Gameplay

Chilla's Art, an indie studio famous for its laconic horror games based on Japanese urban legends and modern horror memes, worked on the creation of this atmospheric horror game.

Among the main features of The Kidnap's gameplay is required to be noted:

1. In the course of passing the gamer will often meet classic characters of Japanese horror films.
2. Fighting with monsters will not work - the only option to hide or run away, otherwise death awaits.
3. A gloomy and oppressive atmosphere.
4. Full orientation on the storyline without freedom of action.
5. Several locations are available for exploration, including a large school, the neighbourhood around it and the protagonist's house.
