Loading Story

PC (Microsoft Windows) • 2021

Should you play it?

A short story about loading, I guess. Play as Memu@ as she explores the cyberpunk(ish) little town and interacts with its inhabitants.

What works

  • Charming pixel art and cyberpunk aesthetic
  • Funny and quirky dialogue
  • Short and accessible playtime
  • Free to play
  • Relaxing music and atmosphere

Things to keep in mind

  • Very short length with minimal gameplay
  • Lack of depth or meaningful mechanics
  • Some translation and ui issues
  • No replay value or multiple endings
  • Mini-games are simple and occasionally buggy
