About the Game

Eastward is a beautifully detailed and charming adventure game, from Shanghai-based indie developers, Pixpil.

In the near-future, society is starting to collapse, and the human population is at an all-time low. A deadly toxic presence has spread across the land, destroying and devouring everything in its path.

Those who could escape the miasma flocked to underground villages to start a new life. But for a hardworking miner and a mysterious young girl, the hope of a thriving outside world beckons…

Escape the tyrannical clutches of Potcrock Isle's subterranean society and join Eastward’s unlikely duo on an exciting adventure to the land above! Discover beautiful yet bizarre settlements and make new friends as you travel across the world by rail.

Contains adult humour and some mature themes.

Game Features

Discover the wonderfully weird world of Eastward. Climb aboard the cross-country railway which spans this decaying continent, stopping off to explore its bustling towns, curious campsites and shady forests.

Fend off peculiar monsters and ferocious bosses with John’s weapon of choice - be it a flamethrower, cog-shooter or your trusty ol’ frying pan. Feeling merciful? Try temporarily stunning them with Sam’s kinetic blast.

Switch between John and Sam to solve environmental puzzles and fight your way through formidable dungeons. Separate the duo to unlock hidden paths or stick together as you traverse a perilous landscape.

Get to know a quirky cast of characters with oodles of personality! Immerse yourself in a heartwarming story-driven adventure, packed with fun and wacky humour.

Create deliciously authentic Eastwardian cuisine using (mostly) fresh, organic ingredients from toxic forests, potcrab farms and abandoned malls. These delicacies will grant health bonuses, power boosts and secret boons.

Bop along to a wonderfully upbeat soundtrack composed by Joel Corelitz (Death Stranding, Hohokum, The Unfinished Swan), with sound design from Irish studio, Hyperduck Soundworks (Dust: An Elysian Tail, Kingdom Rush)

The core parts of this game are good. For fans of the visual style - it has character. For fans of the music genre - it's good. Gameplay segments are varied and interesting. But I think the clincher that will make or

Its been a while since I was this invested into a game. The gameplay, characters and initial story are superb. The ending and the pacing is not. It was still a joy to play. I recommend it fullprice actually.

I'm so grateful for a fast forward button. Visually the game is beautiful and has a great aesthetic, but the story leaves me with more questions than answers. I wish there was a neutral option to review. Play it if you

If you want a chill and cozy game, this is for you. Frying pan is your weapon. Nice pixel graphics, easy on the eyes. Once you are done with the main story, play the DLC octopia. More chill game where you just farm.

This game is insanely good. It has so much story, a mix of fights, random puzzles and so much dialogue it's insane. It has a pixelated design, which I personally enjoy and it's even a bit funny. 10/10 game for me.

I did enjoy the visual for this game. The story was not bad. But the story does drag on a bit to the point it does get a bit boring. To me, the fights were not as hard, but was a bit annoying on the mechs on some
