Eastshade: Video Overview Games
You sail on a ship on a large beautiful island, find yourself in the port, see, thinning the mouth, on the bizarre rural houses, curved bridges and high towers, on the forthcoming locals, similar to the open bears, monkeys and other animals. In headphones – a dudging orchestral music, in the eyes – surprise and admiration, and in the head I thought: I would live here! Nothing reminds? Yes, veterans of battles for Tamriel Eastshade can be alive. That’s just no weapons and armor in Eastshade No. Some adamantine sword and shield here replace canvas and brushes, and an ebony kirace – a warm coat for evening walks in the mountains ..

Portrait of an artist in his youth

Yes, actual Eastshade – This is an artist’s simulator, such Gogugen fields, True, not on Tahiti, but on fictional, but also a very picturesque island of East Shade. Already in the Bay of the Island, the ship suddenly sank, and our wandering painter, being underwater, lost consciousness. And at that time he heard the voice of the dead mother who asked to draw several picturesque places in memory of her – she loved this place very much and always wanted her son too here.

With such a motivation, the hero, of course, was floating, was saved and soon ended up on the island, which is to be investigated to find these memorable places for the mother – view of the largest mountain, the biggest tree, the landscape of local rocks and the view from the top of the public towerin the city.

However, if you thought that Eastshade – this is another “walking simulator”, where you just need and do that for beautiful music to wander in beautiful places and draw beautiful pictures, then mistaken. Wander, listen and draw really have to have, but not only. We have a full-fledged game, actually adventure RPG – with quests, crafting, resource collection, riddles, equipment and experience points.

Come, do not bust

To fulfill the task and draw four plot patterns, you need money (gems), resources and inspiration (it is here instead of experience points). Somewhere will have to pay for the passage on the bridge to the large city, somewhere – buy a warm coat, without which you just do not be allowed into the cold mountains. To get to some other hard-to-reach places, you need to purchase a block for the rope (the network of ropes has shrouded the entire East Shade) or build a raft. In addition, it is necessary to regularly buy or find resources (fabric and wood) to create the canvas itself.Eastshade: Video Overview GamesThe game has a lot of irony and colorful characters like this lazy hotel owner.
It is clear that the artist earns all this in the first place with his talent. Having at least one canvas, you can draw any point and any view on the island, and then try to sell. Many customers ask, of course, to push something specific – their portrait, a scaring owl, sandy bank and so on. Moreover, the owner of the local gallery is impracting with its works, you will get access to constantly replenishing orders for paintings, which will become a good source of income – about as “random” quests in any RPG.

Only when you are asked to draw a landscape with a natural arch or capture the cave, full stars, it will agree, much more interesting than collecting five hare ears or attach parcels. You have to explore, watch, search, develop artistic imagination. Moreover, during the study of the island, finding new places, attractions, and even entering abandoned houses and reading books found there about nature and history of East Shade, we get inspiration glasses – and they are just spent on drawing paintings.

Assistance

IN Eastshade There are also quests from the series “Find my lost amulet” or “Walk out four water sources and bring samples”. But necessarily there are more interesting adventures. For example, to get the missing part for the fleet, you will have to be embedded in competing religious groups of “tops” and “roots” and learn the secret password of one of them. And in order to take off in a balloon and draw the biggest mountain, you first need to spend an advertising campaign and attract customers who want to fly. Yes, in the game a lot of irony and funny characters.

There is even something like a moral choice, when you decide whether the father (not ours) sherif or try to persuade him in a personal conversation. Or when you participate in a dubious draw – one Bear asks to play his brother, putting the patties with hate grapes. Even if you agree, then there will be the opportunity to warn your poor fellow.Eastshade: Video Overview GamesHere really always want to draw something.
With faith in love … and warm tea

There are riddles, and even mystical events. Exploring the island, you can stumble upon a strange group of drummers who immediately run away through the door in the tree, – hear them only you and you are one local resident, which also asks to understand this strange matter. Having found an abandoned and closed tower next to the port town, find out that local at night see the light pouring out of her. And you will certainly want to go back there at night and personally check ..

The main thing is to remember that at night (and in Eastshade It has been implemented a change of time) very cold: if there is no warm coat or you still do not know how to breed a fire, then after 19:00, the game automatically takes off the thickening artist in the nearest hotel, to the bed on which he should sleep until morning. But then, already learning the basics of local survival, it will be possible to brew tasty tea at the fire – arbitrarily mixing ingredients or according to found / purchased recipes. One drink gives a bonus to inspiration, another warms, the third allows you to make quick transitions between already open points on the map ..

As a result, it is interesting here to explore the island, finding new places, study “ENT”, communicate and help even in cases where you already do not really need money. Just because you want to find a way to help two in love, find and draw, finally, “Star cave” and understand where the very night drummers are. And all because you are in this world and its inhabitants you begin to believe.

“On the big balloon of tangerine color …”
***
Eastshade And the truth is similar to the mod to Morrowind, where the typical adventure seeker decided to score on all these ancient curses, change the swords on tassels and become an artist to just draw, enjoy the surrounding beauty and beautiful music, brew tea, catch fish (here and it can be), ride a bike (and it too!) and just help others. This is a very warm, lamp and a completely unique game, a sort of painter simulator on vacation, which “Exp” replaces inspiration, and the weapon is an easel with tassels. The only problem for today is technical flaws in the form of sudden sumps of frame frequency and periodic departures. But when such a banal life prose stayed real artists? Lyrics drink tea with jam by the fire, fly to the mountains in the balloon, draw and wait when physicists will correct technical flaws.

Pros: A unique concept at the junction of the quest, “walking simulator” and RPG;well-worked, interesting world and characters;abundance of quests that sometimes can be solved in different ways;juicy graphics;expressive voicing;Wonderful music and shared warm atmosphere.

Minuses: While more technically, the game is implemented and optimized in the best way (however, nothing critical).
