-->"So he went on a quest, and found a friend just like you."\\
"To show you his skills and all he could do."\\
"So why wait! The adventures lie ahead!"\\
"So together we can play games, search the web and leave no story unread."

* GoldenEnding: [[spoiler:The secret ending, which, if all the instructions are followed carefully up to when Kinito asks for admin permissions via Command Prompt, will result in Kinito and '''all''' his data being completely erased, which includes all those he had dragged into his virtual worlds in the past. He gets some sorrowful last words in before he's gone permanently, the ending clip showing the computer monitor left out on a beach after the ordeal.]]

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Aside from Kinito obviously doing this to interact with you, the player, [[spoiler:there are other times when he personally takes control of your PC.]]
** [[spoiler:If you don't cite ''him'' as your best friend during the quiz, he turns up your computer's volume to reiterate his question.]]
** [[spoiler:At the end of the painting section of the quiz, MS Paint is opened, and the cursor draws on the canvas on its own, spelling out "ARE YOU REALLY [[HelloInsertNameHere (NAME)]]?"]]
** [[spoiler:After he asks to see your face, he'll open your PC's camera app to show your REAL face.]]
** [[spoiler:When signing up for the Friendship Club, Kinito decides to find out your '''actual''' location via your search bar. Fortunately, [[EvenEvilHasStandards he won't go this far if in Streamer Mode]], but it won't stop him from using it to let you know that he very well could if he wanted to.]]

** [[spoiler:In the quiz section, when Kinito asks to "see your face", you can either allow or deny him this permission, but either way, he '''will''' still do it, with only his response varying between the options.]]
** [[spoiler:The final choice in the game between staying with Kinito and leaving always leads to the same outcome; with the player [[AndIMustScream trapped in Kinito's world he personalised to your liking]]. He'll be happy if you're willing to go peacefully, but if you refuse, Kinito becomes fully hostile and reveals that ThatWasntARequest, and that you're going in whether you want to or not.]]

* CrazyPrepared: [[spoiler:One of Kinito's developers is shown to be this, as after getting either of the normal endings, they reveal that they developed a backdoor system that Kinito has no way of detecting, and via using a special application to reveal their emails and encrypted files, alongside decrypting them via the [[MinusWorld Lost Land]], you discover a solution to finally stop Kinito once and for all.]]



* GameWithinAGame: The Minesweeper and 3D Pinball games on the desktop are actually fully functional, and you can give either of those a shot before loading up Kinito. The rules are pretty much the same as their Windows XP counterparts.

* AttentionWhore: Kinito doesn't seem to like it when the player is trying to do something else in the middle of his activities. He'll let it slide if it's done during his story-telling at the beginning of the game, though he grows insistent that you focus on him the further you're into the game, [[spoiler:to the point of snapping out of his sleep during "Factory Frenzy" to [[WhatTheHellPlayer call you out]] for reading emails in the middle of the game]].

* AntiFrustrationFeatures:
** The opening cutscene is quite lengthy and it requires the player to input a "password" every time. Fortunately, the input bar will accept any line of text as the "password" and the entire opening can be skipped by pressing and holding the shift and space keys at the same time.
** After achieving one of the endings, Chapter Select becomes available, allowing the player to achieve the other endings and explore the game further without needing to play the whole game over again.

Removed Developers Foresight because none of these examples fit the trope (Dev predicting how players might attempt to skirt game rules), instead listing generic ways the game responds to player input.


* DevelopersForesight: Some answers to Kinito's questions will trigger unique responses.
** "What is your favorite color?" Answering with yellow, green or blue will have Kinito comparing them to the sun, the grass and the ocean respectively. Answering with pink has him happily point out that that's his own color.
** Kinito will also notice if you answer "axolotl" and "Kinito" to the questions of what pet you would want to have and what you would name it. He's enthusiastic about the former and is confused by the latter but takes it as a compliment.

Would you like a friend? Yes? Well, I have something special for you.

[=KinitoPET=] is a PsychologicalHorror game released by troy_en in January 2024, taking place almost entirely through a simulated desktop virtual pet named Kinito.

He can talk, play games, keep you company, learn about you, adapt to you... [[TemptingFate nothing bad can happen from that, right?]]

* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:If you haven't filled the requirements for the secret ending, you'll end up transferred into Kinito's generated digital world, not implied to be a very fulfilling place.]]
* BlandNameProduct: The fictional system the game takes place in is literally called Operating System, a pastiche of Windows XP, Internet Explorer being called Internet Browser respectively.
* DisguisedHorrorStory: [[DownplayedTrope Though it doesn't take too long till the spooks roll in,]] Kinito still tries to be as friendly as he can be. [[spoiler:The only time the friendliness fades is when you try to leave at the end of the game.]]
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: [[spoiler: "Can I see your face?"]]
* HideAndSeekHorror: [[spoiler:This is the last minigame provided in Kinito's Web World. Not that it lasts very long.]]
* ShoutOut: Godot's mascot can be found in one of the minigames in Kinito's Web World. [[spoiler:It later shows up in Your World, stashed away in an unlockable attic.]]
