You will have issues captureing KinitoPET when using "Application"/"Game" capture. Please instead use "Display capture" to capture the WHOLE screen when recording. If you plan to record this game (espcially if you plan for a live broadcast this game) that you read over the Technical Warnings as there may be some features you would like to be aware of before live broadcast.
Please see technical warnings for a better understanding of this game. I feel like its really important for those who intened to live broadcast this game to understand what info it could potentially leak...
There are various points through the game that have diffrent controls. 3D sections use WASD for movement with the Mouse to look around. For the rest of the game use controls that would reflect that of a computer. You can grab tabs and move tabs (as well as kinito) around by clicking on the tab bar. Double click to open up an application. (basically just regurlar old computer controls)
Please note, the game may take a short while to start on the first boot of the game. This is because it's creating and generating various files needed for the game to run.
The game will boot up onto the primary monitor in windowed full screen, to change primary monitor it is best to change it in the system display settings.
The game is designed for 16:9 with 100% screen scale so if you are finding issues in other ratios seek the "windowed" option in the settings *note it is NOT recormended to play in windowed mode use as last resort.
The game will save automatically at set points during the story. You can check the last time saved in the settings.
To delete save data please head to the bottom of the settings page.
The red button labled "Pause game" on the virtual desktop will pause the game once opened, You will have 3 options, open settings, go back and close game.
Additionally the game can be closed through "steam force close" or by using the "alt+f4" shorcut
You can skip the login screen with [SHIFT+SPACE]
You can open a console with [CTRL+SHIFT+Numpad(-)], here are a few commands (all these commands can and will break the game so use them if your really bored and dont care about your save lol)
-
- -Open 1 will open the application in the game with that number (example 1 being kinito) *will cause sequence breaking and crashes
- -Close 1 will close the application with that number * can cause softlocks and crashes
- -SPEED will then allow for a 10x speed mode when the keys [SHIFT+SPACE] are pressed together *will cause crashes when held too long

This game (KinitoPET) will interact with your computer's settings and files in unconventional ways. Below are the effects the game will have on your computer:
KinitoPET will modify your desktop wallpaper, creating custom images during gameplay. These images are stored at: [APPDATA]/Roaming/KinitoPET/Kinitopet_DATA/Wallpaper_DATA. You can disable this effect in the game settings.
The game will read your desktop wallpaper from your windows registry, It will then make a couple versions of it with various filters. In game, It will then set your desktop background to these filtered versions. Upon an expected exit your desktop wallpaper should revert. In the event it cannot read your desktop wallpaper, it will run the game in a transparent window.
KinitoPET will temporarily toggle the visibility and modify your desktop icons (View > Show Desktop Icons) during certain in-game events. By playing KinitoPET, you consent to the modification and storage of Desktop Icon states.
The game hides the desktop icons when playing KinitoPET, this is because the game has desktop icons of itself so to remove the confusion the real desktop icons are hidden temporarily. The game also changes your desktop file location (which changes what icons are seen on the desktop) These effects are temory.
KinitoPET will access, store, and modify entries in the Windows Registry.
This is to change the desktop wallpaper, icon path and icon visibility. (Basically this allows the game to temporarily change desktop wallpaper without any permanent effects).
By running KinitoPET, you grant the game access, storage and modification to data on all drives of your computer.
The game will access the file to your desktop wallpaper, and create, modify and store data in the games folder [APPDATA]/Roaming/KinitoPET/.
KinitoPET may interact with open applications on your computer, including modifying, opening, or closing them.
The game uses this to detect what applications are running (for instance it detects if a video recording software is running), it can then move around and read data from these applications for use in scares.
KinitoPET may simulate the state of the computer's mouse and keyboard. By playing KinitoPET, you consent to the modifications that could result in permanent changes to your computer.
It does this in 2 scares, one will open up the MS paint app and simulate your mouse to draw on the application, then again when keynote will search on your windows device for your current location "where is my location" search query.
KinitoPET may modify the state of your computer monitor and external devices. These modifications are temporary and revert upon expected game exit *note in some cases changes may NOT revert.
The game will read how many monitors you have as well as detect its state (on, off) as well as control that state.
KinitoPET works entirely offline however, for one of the scares it is important to note that a HTTP request is made, the request is to get the image associated with a steam game. The data sent is the "game_id" of the games found in your [Start Menu]/Programs/Steam the request: https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/GAME_ID/header.jpg Example with KinitoPET's game ID:2075070) https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/2075070/header.jpg. Other HTTP requests include requests sent to api.kinitopet.com for sending the user an email once there email has been entered (this step is optional) and retriving image data based on a question asked in game. The data on this server clears however if you would like to request your data to be removed now please contact "troyenemail@gmail.com" with the subject of "KINITOPET SERVER REMOVAL REQUEST" and your ip address so your data can be removed. Thank you!
At some point in the game, kinito will ask you for your email, [this is optional and inputting any text will proceed] if you input a real and valid email, you will receive and email to that email address, during this a HTTP request is made. Your email will be temporarily stored by [Elastic Email] (so that an email cannot be spammed) this email is NOT a subscription and is a one time based on input. However if you would like to block an email from retrive anymore emails from no-reply@kinitopet.com there will be an unsubscribe button at the bottom of the email.
All effects caused by KinitoPET are automatically reverted when the game is properly closed. In the event of a crash or sudden interruption, the game will attempt to recover and restore your computer's state to its original settings.
This game can be streamed however it is recommended to record this experience so unwanted information can be appropriately censored. If you want to stream this game here are some things in particular you might want to know about.. [CONTAINS SPOILERS]
The game will have several instances where it takes control of your mouse and keyboard. Most importantly, there are sections in this game that use the camera app on [Windows Camera] to scare the player. As a streamer, if you do not want your camera footage to be leaked, please check the camera app beforehand so you can know what will be shown. Equally check your "computer," "pictures," and "music" folders on your device for any sensitive files. This is because clicking on those retrospective icons in the game will reveal those folders - (This is disabled on Streamer Mode) - However please still take caution as the name of your pc will be visible. Your desktop background and icons will be shown. KinitoPET, at some point, will point out that your recording (if using O.B.S.) will take screenshots of your whole O.B.S. window. Please make sure nothing sensitive is within the whole O.B.S. window. (Or on any secondary monitor) KinitoPET will at some point ask for your details (name, address, email). This is optional, and inputting any info in the text boxes will work. Please don't feel like you have to tell the truth in a fictional world. (Any email you do use will actually be sent an email, btw) Okay, so another thing. If it detects you are recording, there are some extra dialogue lines (you can manually make this happen in the settings and check the STREAMING/RECORDING box) and this will change one scare. When KinitoPET finishes asking for your address, he will use your keyboard to type "where is my location" into the Windows search bar. If you have enabled the recording setting, it will replace that with "JUST SO YOU KNOW I COULD '' to prevent the reveal of your approximate location. Finally, playing KinitoPET with a Steam account / through Steam will cause several instances where your Steam friends and icons are used, as well as your own Steam name and icon. Please play at your own risk.
