  I got the game on a whim because I liked the art style and it seemed like it would be a fun RPG horror game but now I would do anything to go back in time and never experience the game! The art style is pretty and the premise is fun, but it ended up being weird torture porn about girls who JUST got out of middle school and the death scenes are if not flat out sexual then pretty suggestive :/

  Wow... I thought this is going to be one of those short games but it's suprisingly good for the price it offer. The atomsphere is great, sound is awesome, and the gameplay is good. You don't get these kind of games for the price tage it offers. Pros: - Great atomsphere - 16 bit Scare/Gore - Music is really good - Great death picture lol - The price tag! - Story is good! Cons: - The gameplay screen is really small for 1980 x 1080 screen. - No controller support - Cannot change the game screen size Neutral: - English translation could use a little work, but nothing that will hinders from the experience - You find your uncle in a sperm covered floor in one of the secret rooms...I'M SERIOUS. You just have to see the gameplay! Yes, I did include the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4RDlPId_5o if you guys want to check it out. It's good! Just go download and start playing. You won't regret it! -BK

  despite the horrible english translation, this is actually a pretty interesting game. its almost like a cross between earthbound and resident evil. a couple of the early "death" pictures went a little bit over the edge (spike death? lol....) but its hardly worth a thumbs down like some other guys are giveing it. i think this game costed me a little over a dollar and i have gotten way more enjoyment out of it than some $60 premium games lately. its a good creepy little game and its worth playing!!! dont listen to the all the butt hurting haters out there, just give it a shot and judge for yourself.

  Keep in mind, I did actually enjoy this game. After playing all the way to the final boss, I have to say, it was at least worth the two dollars I spent on it. The game had some pretty alright pixel art, and was genuinely (at times) kind of spooky. However, those with low tolerance for Engrish will drop this game almost immediately. The tedious pace at which the main character moves is bearable, at first. However, once you start walking around much bigger areas, the speed will start to rustle some jimmies. Also, there's this seemingly out of place sexual element I will address later in this review, but if that's not something you're into, I'd say steer clear of Kio's Adventure. Skip to the bottom to avoid spoilers and for the score. Spoilers ahead boy-os The first area you explore in this game actually made me pretty anxious. It takes place in a basement made of long winding hallways. And, the near silence of this place really made me feel uncomfortable. The environmental effect of little earthquakes and plaster falling from the ceiling was a nice touch. Paired with me seeing the first pile of writhing flesh, the earthquakes started to become much more scary to me. Almost as if there was a giant flesh demon above me, just slithering around, waiting. Honestly, the entire game could have just taken place underground, and I would have loved it. After escaping the basement, you find yourself in a library. This is where the walking speed starts to become much more aggravating. This room is huge, way too huge. However, after a bookcase falls over, nearly crushing you, this room starts to become much more interesting. At any moment, you could be killed. And at each end of the rows of bookcases, there's ammo (yes there is a gun in this game) , health, and doors. Making the pickups and exits possible traps. Spoiler warning, none of the other bookcases fall, but it at least filled the room with a possible threat. After spending an exuberant amount of time completing the puzzle here, and getting the key to leave, you'll be greeted by the outside world. It's raining (because when isn't it raining in horror games?) and you have been surrounded by some zombies amidst dilapidated buildings. Don't fret, because a fat weeb is here to rescue you. Bobo (yes that's his name) then invites you up to his apartment, where he drugs both you and himself, because he's wacky (cue laugh track). He manages to tie you up and drag you into his bedroom before passing out in his bed. How a fat weeb could do all that within such a short amount of time is beyond me. You wake up before he does, and run into the kitchen to cut your hands free from the rope. The kitchen is full of dead bodies, and the fridge has Bobo's parents' severed heads inside. An activity that I am sure all weebs partake in. Anyway, you blow Bobo's brains out and head back outside. This chunk of the game is just slowly walking into buildings, slowly walking around zombies, and not much else. The rest of Kio’s Adventure is kind of lazy, and I think the creators were just throwing whatever at the wall to see what sticked. And what lazy setting could we possible go to in a Far Eastern game, but the school. Long boring hallways with easy to avoid zombies, and a pretty standard find-the- hidden-code-to-get-a-key quest. Something you've most likely done already if you've played any number of RPG Maker horror games. There's some swirly photoshop effect npcs for some reason, and they explain to our hero that they are all in a video game (gasp) and that there is a “glitch” somewhere. This “glitch” is our exit, and the only way to reach it is to escape the school through the bathroom (where else would you escape?) and enter the aquarium that just so happens to be behind the school. After gaining the key, you are treated to a pretty short boss fight with a giant penis monster that shoots white goo at you. At this time, I would like to briefly talk about Kio's Adventure and it's sexual elements. Honestly, I don't know how to feel about them. There's these cutscenes where you watch your friend get tortured in some weird BDSM style dungeon. Also, the whole kidnapping with Bobo. Plus, some of the death screens are pretty much light guro (I don't suggest Googling that). Including one in particular where a giant spike impales our hero through her vagina. I'm not sure if this was symbolism for some sort of tragedy that befell Kio, or if these things exist simply to exist. And I'm not here to say these things need to be removed from the game, I'm all for freedom of expression. I just don't understand why these things are present. For the most part, this game doesn't even take itself too seriously, I.e. some of the hidden rooms and character interactions. But, was I meant to find the sex stuff funny? The last chunk of gameplay takes place inside an aquarium and someone's computer. After walking down an anus lode of stairs, soon you’ll be walking down some hallways past some admittedly cool fish tanks. Until you reach the ice slide puzzle. If you have played a few of the Pokemon games, you'll instantly recognize this. At least the sliding is faster than the walking. After mashing the arrow keys until you guess the solution, you'll be greeted with a giant meat monster inside a fish tank. He explains that you have to shoot the wall a few times and the path will open up. That was the "glitch," and now you are inside a computer. I.e. more walking. You then get to meet the final boss, he's some sort of thing, I honestly lost interest here. He gives this long winded barely comprehensible Engrish speech about how games these days are too easy. He admits, however, that you will have to sit through his "bullshit" again if you die. Which you will. His first phase wasn't too bad, as long as you avoided the stuff that appears on the ground, and you are given enough time to do so. Then, he goes full bullshit mode and shoots instant death lasers. When you die you have to sit through another round of his pointless speech (I.e slam on the keyboard as fast as you can in a vain attempt to skip it), and fight him again. After three times of dying to death lasers, I promptly uninstalled the game. Spoilers are now done For those of you wanting a numerical score, 6/10. The game was cheap and I felt like I got my money’s worth out of it, but it was still tedious and there is no way in hell I’m fighting that final boss again. I still recommend it to those who are fans of RPG Maker horror games, and are looking for something to mess around with for an hour or two. However, there are free games like Lisa the First, Yume Niki, and the Crooked Man that are much more entertaining and more importantly, free. I would feel remissed if I didn’t at least name some projects that the devs could take some inspiration from before making another game. Kio’s Adventure isn’t bad and even though I enjoyed myself to an extent, it belongs on something like Newgrounds, not Steam. Steam should be for much more fleshed out projects than this.

  [b]BACKGROUND [/b] Kio's Adventure is a game centering around a high schooler named Kio and her friends (but mostly Kio). Use Kio to solve a variety of (very easy) puzzles while attempting to not die, and that is a feat in itself when everything and everyone is trying to murder you. [b]WHAT I ENJOYED ABOUT THIS GAME [/b] The storyline for this game is fantastic. As much as I would love to spill it out here, I do not want to ruin it. The ending is a welcome surprise. I cannot stress enough what an incredible storyline this game has BUT it gets really overshadowed by the other elements of the game. [b] WHAT THE GAME LACKED [/b] That 'oomph' factor. The game lacks that 'something more' that could have easily made it an incredible game. It's meant to be a horror/gore game but it tends to come off as odd. Everything feels so rushed and the execution is horrible. Scenes which should have left you surprised or appalled just comes off as 'What is that even?' or 'Okay then'. Seriously, the potential for this game is great and the idea is incredible but seriously just... I can't even. The game features a gallery of 'death scenes' which fill out depending on the various deaths you find in game. The feature is is a good idea but getting all the death scenes is probably the only difficulty you'll find with this game. The English in the game is very broken. VERY. BROKEN. While its not difficult to make out what the character is saying, if you're impatient like I am, this will get on your nerves. Sometimes you will have to read a sentence three or four times to understand but don't worry, eventually you'll get it. Eventually. The puzzles were too easy. It proves to be no challenge and that takes away from this game because the game is primarily based on solving puzzles. The game becames a 'walk-by' once you get a grasp on the mechanics and its easy to get bored of which is probably not a good thing since the game is so short itself. The fight scenes are too easy. Again, it proves to be no challenge and takes away from the game because hey, you'd think, if the puzzles weren't easy, can you at least make the fights more challenging? Right? Well RIP you. The game has these special hidden areas which you need to discover. Its very easy to find them. I don't think you can even call them 'hidden areas'. [b]CONCLUSION [/b] I would have recommended this game but at the same time you're really not missing out on anything much if you decided not to buy it. Its great for a quick pass time but other than that I really can't recommend it.

  At first its like a scary game with a dark setting. Then about halfway through the developer was like "yeah na faq this". After that I have no idea what was going on.

  Kio's Adventure is really not that great a game, I am not saying it’s all bad but let start with the good. The pictures you get after you die were all well-made, and the game did have a few good scares here and there. The humor those well a little bit of the humor was kind of funny/ok, but a good bit of the funny comes from how bad the English translation is. Ok now for the bad. First off the story it started out strong, but then crapped out when you get to school and it went all breaking the 4th wall. I mean why do that, it just made the story suck. it’s like the creators of the game just give up haft way through writing the story, watch is sad I mean with the right writher this could have very good, but it just crapped out when you get to school. Then there is the final boss, when you beat it just feels anticlimactic like what was the point. Then you get to the ending of the game watch I won’t tell you just look it up on youtube. Anyway the ending just feels cruel pointless and anticlimactic. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t want every game to end with sunshine and rainbows. I mean a good dark ending can do a game good if it’s done right. But this the ending to Kio's Adventure again just felt cruel pointless and anticlimactic. So in the end I would say not get this game. There is a lot of rpgmaker horror games way better than this one.

  I enjoyed the pixel artwork and the death art, however the game just got worse the more I played. It started off strong, but by the time I got to the school after wading through a city filled with zombies (which I was fine with) and seemingly random "easter eggs" that were pretty much EVERYWHERE by that point.. Well, I just lost the will to continue on with the game, especially because of the "Wowie, we're breaking the 4th wall suddenly" thing. It's a real shame, since, as I said, I absolutely adored the artwork. The gore was pretty good, and the humor made me giggle when it was present.. But the sudden 4th wall breaking plot was just a bad decision. The story was ruined for me. I was considering refunding it, by as it was pretty cheap and I DID see the effort put in, I decided to keep it out of respect for the developer. Maybe you'll enjoy it, though. I'd say give it a try if you're unphased by what I say.

  Fun and affordable gory horror adventure - reminscent of the best japanese RPG horror maker games like IB, Mad Father, Misao, Corpse Party, etc...I ran out of games like those and found this which doesn't have as strong a story as some but enough to be interesting and plenty of gore plus really well-done albeit horrific CG's. A solid RPG Maker horror games - not just solid, exceptional - there's a reason this has a Very Positive Rating - it is because it is truly horrific, well-done, with a little weird translation that is still charming not too difficult to understand after a while, and a good enough story with great elements of horror especially at the beginning. It's a little hard for someone who is game-challenged like me and plays mostly visual novels but that adds to replay value and length of the game which is charming rather than frustrating. Honestly, 10/10 for a great horror experience and I'm not even done. Some people say it's really cruel and they're right but well this is a Japanese style horror game so what can you expect? :-)

  In this semi-parodical Chinese take on Doujin horror, poor Kio's suffering is as great as her Engrish. Nice pixel graphics. Plays well. Slowstep on gun-ready, like RE. Weird atmosphere. Bad translation adds a cracked charm. Tastelessly grotesque, but definitely [i]not[/i] a serious horror game. Stupid, stupid ending made me laugh. Worth two bucks and the few hours it takes to beat it if you like odd things. (In my mind, Kio sounds just like B-mo from Adventure Time.)
