Alva and Isabel seem to be romantically connected, or at least Isabel has a strong attraction to Alva. The city has a defense against the Miasma and has indicated there have been events that lead to cataclysm. You learn about the vague connection between Lee and Alva being either siblings or at the bare minimum some sort of relation. You meet two characters that become very close to John and Sam, more importantly Sam. New Dam City was a departure from feeling like a part of a community but trades off for a bigger picture. It humanized all the characters and when the Miasma comes to wipe out the town (inadvertently activated by Sam) As the player, this is kind of a devastating moment in some way emotionally you feel like sam and john will finally have some peace or a home to come back to. As weird as a plot device that Uva was in the storyline, I think the point was to be somewhat of a grounding device for John. They celebrate big victories by coming together and enjoying their company.

The people here are comparable to hobbits in the shire understanding how to be happy with the bare essentials and some skillsets. Greenberg was the major transition going from hell to the garden of eden. However throughout, Sam demonstrates acts of kindness and John displays acts of heroism. Oddly enough, you pretty well know that as they are banished by the mayor things can really only improve for them. These themes make the first area seem dark and depressing. In Potcrock Isle, Sam and John endure some of the lesser quality traits of humankind fear, anger, isolation. This leads me to believe that his involvement in the upbringing of Sam was highly unplanned and in sorts, an anomaly. However, John is sort of fleshed out by his actions but has very little story of his own. Throughout the story, much is revealed about 'mother' and Sam as the story pivots on these characters. Its unlikely that Sam was supposed to have a good experience in Potcrock Isle, as it seems that the point of being placed in some shithole with the rest of humanity was to allow the new 'mother' to become disgusted with humankind. Sam is basically a clean slate, has all of Mothers powers and abilities but is unique in that she is unbiased towards humans. (Preface for the game) This means after playing the game she herself is a 'clone' or was grown by the breeder robots. Players can experience either board separately or together for an all-encompassing map of the city for an epic Eastward tabletop game night.- The beginning sequence shows Sam being discovered at the dig site in Potcrock Isle. The board game components from the limited-edition vinyl can be combined with the Eastward Switch Collector’s Edition, serving as an expansion.
