Eastshade

A game that feels like a peaceful and tranquil vacation in a digital world, where every moment offers an escape into serenity. It’s more than just a game—it’s a sanctuary for your mind and a virtual retreat where you can unwind and recharge.

I think honestly, Eastshade is wonderful. I find myself in awe particularly of it’s scope, and genuinely refreshing core mechanics. So often I find myself longing for ‘another Eastshade’, only to realise none exists… and that is it’s wonder. There are some very occasional janky gameplay moments. But honestly they pale to the experience of drinking this one in. The music is beautiful, as is the world design and architecture. The quests can genuinely surprise you, some with unique mechanics that you never expected to be in the game. When the credits role, Eastshade will have made it’s mark. Thank you Danny and Jaclyn, and congratulations.

it's fun and there's no killing of fighting people like some other games. peaceful and fun, running around doing interesting quests. Thanks for making this game.

It wasn't for me, but I could definitely see the appeal. Beautifully designed, interesting characters, but walking sims, even the great ones, are a love-it-or-hate-it relationship. Still, you should give it a try, it's not expensive and it IS a cool game.

Eastshade quickly became a favourite of mine, thanks to its adventure and exploration elements. The world is beautifully designed, encouraging a slower pace that lets you soak in the environment. The game’s unique use of art as a central mechanic feels rewarding, making each discovery a new source of inspiration (literally!). I did encounter one bug that prevented me from completing a quest (for those in the know - Helem stayed on the beach), but I still received the achievement for all quests, so it didn’t impact the experience much. Overall, Eastshade is a gem for anyone who loves immersive exploration and peaceful gameplay.

Really cute, good quality game. Honestly keep replaying it just for the chill music and happy vibes.

I've played this game almost 4 years ago and it still pops in my mind as soon as I think about a peaceful and beautiful experience.
I wasn't particularly a fan of the NPC's aesthetic at first, but quickly got used to it and after a while discovering new characters was pretty sweet. The artistic topic, the kindness of the encounters and quests (or the strangeness too!) and the oh so gorgeous soundtrack truly moved me.
This world is truly magical, in many ways, and is also so gorgeous it actually brought me to tears because of how it touched me.
Walking simulators can sometimes be a little bit dull on some occasions, but this one? Wandering around was such a wonder, by the time I finished all the quests and had to finish the game I only wanted to stay in this beautiful place for a while longer.
Really, an experience I'll never forget (but wish I could to discover it all again).
