![]() ![]() ![]() I’m getting classic Final Fantasy vibes with a touch of the original Fallout and maybe even a hint of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, especially after discovering a recipe crafting system, a rich plot, and a soundtrack that’s 100% bangers. It’s a techno-fantasy dystopia in which you wander through beautifully illustrated underground enclaves, solving puzzles and making friends. Wait a minute, don’t adventures always go west? My mind is blown! Eastward is an adorable adventure game set in a society that’s on the brink of collapse - so, like, our own real life world? No no, this one’s on the brink of a different collapse. As far as I can tell, it’s a brightly-colored, visually-rich comedy-platformer in which you careen through album-cover-looking art while accompanied by fantastic music. But what actually is the game? It’s a “psychedelic journey,” the makers say, and “an adventure spanning stolen opera houses, melodic alien landscapes, and the impossible depths of the Cosmic Extraordinary.” Yeah, but what is it? “A story about great expectations” featuring “musical jams” in which you “shred, soar and dance across the multiverse.” Sure, but what is it? “A ride across the dilated pupils of the universe.” WHAT? Well, it features the voice talent of Carl Weathers and Jason Schwartzman, if that clears anything up (it does not). The premise makes enough sense: You are a young musician struggling to measure up to your famous uncle, and you are on a mission to establish a distinctive stage persona. What even is The Artful Escape? Literally nobody knows, and judging by the bewildering press materials, that may include the people making it. ![]()
