In Eastward, players embark on a captivating journey with a hardworking miner and a girl endowed with enigmatic powers. Together, they traverse a dystopian country aboard a train, navigating through lands tainted by toxicity. The game’s dynamic action allows players to tactically switch weapons to confront adversaries and alternate between the two protagonists to solve intricate environmental puzzles. As adventurers, players have the opportunity to explore the world, discover valuable items, and engage in cooking. Developed by Chucklefish, the game is designed to offer around 30 hours of immersive gameplay to complete the main story.

While Eastward’s main game focused on the more urban aspects of the world, the Octopia DLC looks to take a page out ofStardew Valleyand the Story of Seasons series, swapping shovel for pitchfork in the rural countryside. A sleepier side of game but hopefully still has some elements of combat, to mix things up between the more laidback activities.
