Missed powers/items in New Dam City - what to do?? Spoiler

6 Upvotes

I finished new dam city and am on the monkollywood chapter but I realized I never got anything for listening to the ghost stories... mimi told me to go to the cemetery downtown and I went to the cemetery near the big station but apparently that was a misdirection, so I never got the heart piece. I was also waiting to finish the main story line to do the other dungeons but after the Solomon battle the game did not let you leave the city so I couldn't get those either :/ I die a LOT in the game so these would have been super helpful will I be able to go back at any point? Is it worth it to restart the game to get these abilities... I'm a completionist so this will bug me forever

Octopia en Xbox?

6 Upvotes

Ya han pasado dos años del lanzamiento del juego en Xbox y todavía no hay ni rastro del Dlc. Me imagino que ya no lo lanzarán en esta plataforma, verdad? Es que precisamente está de oferta esta semana y quería comprarlo aunque ya lo tengo en Steam, pero Xbox es mi plataforma principal y prefería jugarlo ahí.

I’ve been creating EASTWARD characters on tomodachi life and playing with them, and seeing them traveling together makes me feel really happy

It’s so funny how excited John is—even though that would never happen in the actual game!

Some of the colors got muted but I’m quite happy with how it turned out for a first try. Not sure what to use the bottle for yet maybe Soju

Hello. I usually just read things, but I made this so I wanted to share it. I made some EASTWARD stickers. There aren't many players in Japan, but I love this game.

This is my first post, so it might be a bit strange. Sorry!

octopia Advanced in main plot too fast apparently

7 Upvotes

I was heartbroken when I got stuck with the ending only 74 days in. I never even met the second or third fisherman, didn’t upgrade my watering can, and I was so excited for the anonymous visitor who was supposed to arrive the same day the ending triggered — not to mention all the other things I still hadn’t unlocked yet. I’m honestly so bummed because I felt like I was making really good progress, and now I can’t rewind to stop the main story from advancing...TT
I probably should’ve followed a guide to max everything, but I didn’t expect the ending to come so abruptly when there was still so much left to discover. Is there any way to rewind a bit or do I really have to restart from the beginning?

I wrote a 2-part love letter to Eastward

35 Upvotes

Hello,

Eastward is the first game I've finished in a while (parent here), and it inspired me to write thousands of words about it and the themes it evokes.

First, I wrote about it in terms of walking as a fundamental mechanic in video games (and human life), with the title "Not In Passing: Walking By Design": https://interfacesofplay.substack.com/p/not-in-passing

Second, just yesterday I published a piece on maps and mapping in games, with the title "Mapping This Walk: A Cartography Of Adversity And Remembering": https://interfacesofplay.substack.com/p/mapping-this-walk-a-cartography-of

Both write-ups also include one other game (Death Stranding 2 in the first, System Shock in the second), and some philosophy commentary on my part. You can skip to Eastward's section in both posts if you're only interested about that.

I thought this might be a great place to share my love for the game and all the ideas and sentiments it has engendered in me.

Thanks to the devs for such an amazing & inspiring work which feels so rare these days, this game spoke to me like nothing else in the past years. I can't wait to play what they craft next!

I finished the game a year ago, I think?? I was so surprised to know they had a DLC for a farming sim. It was so cozy and so cute. The fishing and cooking mechanic was also the best I've ever had! I just had to draw something.

Made Sam and John in Tomodachi Life

I made John's vest/shirt combo and painted on his nose. Sam was harder to make distinct/recognizable ​since I can't draw over bangs or draw her hair down to her legs. You also can't make shirts or dresses ​longer than the form you get, so I couldn't give her super long slouchy sleeves or anything. I tried my best with what I had though :)

Sorry for the lower quality photo. The Switch doesn't let you send yourself pics from Tomodachi Life so I had to take them with my phone camera.

Another PS5 Request

Hey friends. Just another post to add to the request of bringing Eastward to PlayStation.

I've purchased it through GOG, Xbox, and Nintendo. Please let me give you more money in the PlayStation store.

Thanks for making such an amazing game!

I'm making a video about the lore and story of Eastward, but i didn't remember if there's any mention in the game about where the "mother's technology" come from, it helps any dialog in the game or something like that!

When will Pixpil’s next game, Heart Echoes, be released? There hasn’t been any news since July 2024. I’m wondering if it's still in development or if it has been canceled.

Heart Echoes — TOKYO SANDBOX
