A man of few words! Like many other natives of Potcrock Isle, John lived beneath the earth’s surface for over 40 years, with no knowledge of the outside world. After taking on the role of a father figure for Sam, his life would never be the same again… As a miner John is adept at handling explosives and has strong combat skills to fight off the creatures which inhabit the world of Eastward.
In the near-future, society is fast hurtling down the path of destruction. An unknown, toxic presence has spread and poisoned the air. Those who could escape flocked to villages underground to start a new life, and as new generations were forged, they soon forgot all memories of the blue skies above. But for a hardworking miner and a mysterious young girl, the hope of a thriving outside world beckons…
Escape the tyrannical clutches of subterranean society and join Eastward’s unlikely duo, Sam and John, on an exciting adventure to the land above! Travel across the world by rail to uncover the mystery of Sam’s powers, and the truth behind the deadly miasma.
Eastward is a beautifully detailed and charming adventure game, from Shanghai-based indie developers, Pixpil. Available now on PC, Mac, and Nintendo Switch.
