## About Eastward

Eastward is an action RPG set in a post-apocalyptic world where society is on the brink of collapse. Players control two characters as they journey through decaying cities, navigating puzzles that require their combined abilities. The game incorporates collectible-hunting, crafting and cooking mechanics, and train travel that serves as the primary means of progression. Players describe the pixel-art visuals as bringing an atmospheric, melancholic yet cozy world to life. Reviewers highlight the dual-character teamwork as a standout feature, and the cooking minigame has become an earworm for many players. The game runs Playable on Steam Deck and holds an 86% positive rating from over 3,500 Steam reviews. At $24.99, it offers a medium-length solo adventure experience.
