Kyle is Famous is a short, fun little text based game with a simplistic, visually appealing UI and entertaining writing. This writing is undoubtedly the central focus of the game, being very consistent in its style and delivery, with bursts of absurdism that read as outlandish "what if" scenarios. These sorts of scenarios are actually what I imagine some players would come up with when trying to say something funny and stupid, such as eating the fridge for breakfast or choosing to wear a snorkel and jeans to your interview, and a bunch of other much more outlandish things that I won't spoil.

Very fun game until you get to the more involved endings where you have to do a variety of annoyingly specific things to get them. This takes a lot of the fun charm out of the game when you're no longer seeing new, funny lines consistently and are having to repeat the same monotonous actions with slight differences to find new things, which ultimately tanks some of the comedic timing. That said, this is a very unpredictable game that got quite a few chuckles out of me, and for a free little game that takes about 90 minutes to 100%, it's a decent enough time.
