I suppose it's a free game, but it's very short and very depressing. If you want a quick story with very few, quite simple puzzles, go ahead and give it a try. But I'm not sure it's worth the time.

This is a short Point & Click story. Should only take 45 minutes to an hour, depending on your pace. It involves very tedious running back & forth, collecting items to do nonsensical tasks with.

Step by step, there is over 40 things to do to get to the end of the story, and you will not get past the first 3 or 4 steps on your own. You will need to follow the guide to complete the rest of the steps. That's not a game. That's busy work, which is a waste of time.

You play as the wife of an alcoholic who beats you. Your young son goes missing, and you have to find him on your own because your husband is too busy watching TV to help you.

Also, the game starts out in Russian, and you have to figure out how to change it to English.

Brilliant plot, great art style, pretty, but.
Terrible game mechanics.

KITE is pretty much what you expect. A dark story. It's "silently" told really well, pretty much just using a light soundscape in static yet animated scenes. Unfortunately the developer used the great art to make a really puzzling game, with leaping logic gaps. A lot of small things break it, and if the developer had come back to fix them, one might consider following the developer for more content. But like the story ending, it's a bit empty on that. A really a pity because a lot of good bits, like the art and sound are spoiled by poor translation and buggy environment interactions and puzzles that only make sense to you after you solve them. Not worth your time sadly.

Really depressing topics with a very weak storyline.
With puzzles that you either have to spend way too much time on or have to look up.
Honestly really disappointing, just left me feeling like “why… wat was the point of making this?”

short, free experience of a wife/mother who deals with an abusive husband as well as a child who has gone missing.

The Kite is a mediocre, somewhat depressing 2D point and click adventure game, not unlike the old Curse of Monkey Island/Day of the Tentacle kinds of games, but with a dark, gritty, domestic Ukrainian subject.

There wasn't any English option I could see, but I suppose there might be one if you navigate the non-English menu. It's good that this is free, but games are supposed to be fun, and the quality is just a bit too mediocre for me to recommend to anyone.

Dark themes of abuse permeate this brief point 'n' click adventure but fail to resonate well as the antagonist sits unresponsive to the player's progress until plot triggers are met.

I mean, its a game...
Frustrating puzzles\gameplay that dont make sense half the time, I used a guide for about half of it and kept thinking 'how was i supposed to know that?'

some the puzzle was good but in general boring
the story not bad but i could not attach with the characters

cliche and superficial feeling take on domestic abuse and depression
