What do you think of Eastward? (self.games)

I think the pixel art style is great. At the beginning I also thought the game was very cool with a very intriguing story, but then the game started to ask me to do totally useless things for progressing in the story, like: go find the berry for cooking the meal for this person for no reason, but then something stupid happens so you lose the berry, so go get the crabs for cooking the meal for this person for no reason and apparently something else stupid is happening and here I am. I think I lost interest in the game and don't want to play it anymore at this point and I'm sorry because I really wanted to play it to the end 🫤

It’s one of the prettiest pixel art games out there, but it’s absolutely the most boring game I’ve played recently that I can recall.

It took me months to get through it.

Agreed. I actually can't even remember if I finished it or just set it down one day and forgot to come back to it.

The story was... Sort of interesting? The art direction was just way ahead of the gameplay, which was a shame.
