SYNOPSIS
Kay’s return to Hong Kong was supposed to be her homecoming, but upon visiting her childhood home she makes a shocking discovery. Her best friend, Grace, is missing. In her pursuit for truth, Kay meets a disco dancer and business woman. By piecing together their stories and their fragmented memories, she begins to uncover the terrifying secret behind Grace’s disappearance.
Weaving personal history with the historical past, In the Ocean I Learned to float is a romance story about resilience and hope in the face of uncertainty.
FROM A SUMMER’S END TO THE OCEAN
Set in the winter of 1988, the new story takes place two years after the events of A Summer’s End. In the Ocean will feature new locations and new characters. Familiar faces will appear in the new game as well.
How In the Ocean differs from A Summer’s End is that the new story will explore more mature themes and topics. The colonial history of Hong Kong and the intersectionality of race, class, gender, and sexuality is an integral theme to understanding the new cast’s motivations and worldview.
The game and story will be longer than A Summer’s End. The gameplay will feature elements of investigation and exploration. The player will have the opportunity to visit locations not previously shown in A Summer’s End and interact with characters and objects in the scene. The relationship between place and memory is an important part of In the Ocean.
