An online 1-4 player co-op adventure where you experience the legendary struggle of getting to school as an Asian parent. Fight Tom, a psychopathic bear, defy p
How Asian Parents went to School released on Steam on 25 August 2026 from Kaljag Games and MadOctopus. It is a four-player co-op platformer built entirely on one joke — the impossible commute your parents claim they survived.
Reach school, alive (optional)
The pitch is the premise. You and three friends relive the legendary journey your parents bragged about: climbing vertical mountains, surviving a highly questionable commute, and reaching class before the bell.
The developers put the stakes as: school attendance is mandatory, survival is not. Get to school or bring shame to your family — a line that will land instantly with anyone who has heard the uphill-both-ways speech.
The bear who identifies as a cat
The obstacle design leans into absurdity rather than difficulty for its own sake. One example the studio highlights: a bear wearing a cat mask that screams “Meow” at players and spits on them.
That tone check is useful. This is a comedy platformer where the hazards are jokes, not a precision challenge dressed in humour.
Four-player online co-op
The Steam listing covers Single-player, Multi-player, Co-op and Online Co-op, with Steam Achievements included.
Physical-comedy platformers depend on other people watching you fail, so online co-op is the mode that matters. Solo is supported but will be a thinner experience by design.
Localisation and platform
Language support is broad for a small comedy release — English, French, Italian, German and Spanish among others.
The build is Windows only. Steam genre tags are Action, Adventure and Casual. Eight store screenshots.
Four twenty-four at launch
How Asian Parents went to School is on Steam at $4.99. The launch discount has ended and this is the standard price, verified on 6 September 2026.
One correction: this is not an upcoming title. It released on 25 August and is available now.
Four dollars for a four-player comedy platformer is easy value if you have a group. The humour is culturally specific in a way that will either land hard or not at all — and the studio is clearly writing for people who grew up hearing the story.
