Loading… is a story-driven game that explores a complicated period in the lives of a Vietnamese-American family living in southern California through the experiences of its youngest and oldest members. The game is both about a boy’s relationship to video games as he navigates growing up in the early-aughts as well as his grandfather’s relationship to his own declining body as he navigates the final years of his life.
The game is split into three sections; a walking sim about Kiet and his grandpa, a JRPG about a couple of high school librarians, and a retro FPS taking place across a series of surreal maps.
