A general gaming community for Piefed.

More games, less memes, no outrage culture.

Rules

  1. Stay civil.
    Debate ideas, not people. No personal attacks, no flame wars. More info here.

  2. This is not a gamer identity space.
    We don’t self-identify as “gamers.” Games are art, not a lifestyle brand. If your whole identity is about consumption, you’ll probably feel out of place here.

  3. Talk about games as art.
    Discussion should focus on design, ideas, and creative choices. What does this game say? What are the consequences of its mechanics? What does its aesthetic communicate?

  4. No discrimination.
    Prejudice, bigotry, or harassment of any kind will get you removed.

  5. No spam.
    Keep discussion meaningful. Don’t flood with promos or off-topic noise.

  6. Stay on topic.
    This space is for discussion of games as creative works, not for tech support, low-effort memes, or console wars.

  7. Evolving rules.
    These rules may change as the community grows and we refine what works.

Easy Delivery Co, an open-world delivery game, just hit Steam today—and yes, it stars a cat driving a tiny kei truck around a snowy mountain town.

You’re underpaid, overworked, and always behind schedule. But it’s chill. You load packages, slip across icy roads, and meet the town’s residents—who are friendly on the surface but definitely hiding something. The store page even jokes “no secrets here,” which is basically a confession. People are already calling this Silent Hill meets Animal Crossing meets DoorDash.

The visuals are straight out of the PS1 era—low poly, heavy pixelation, and fog everywhere. And honestly, I missed fog. Modern games chase ultra-realism, but here fog makes the town feel both cozy and a little unsettling. The cats, though—they’re the highlight. They’re adorable. They keep the whole thing grounded in charm instead of leaning too hard into creep factor.

Sound design is big here. There’s ambient weather, the satisfying hum of your kei truck, and an in-game radio that spins jungle and lo-fi electronic beats. The soundtrack is so good they’re selling it separately as DLC for about C$4.24. Worth it if you like that hazy, late-night FM vibe.

Controls are fine once you adjust. Keyboard and mouse are surprisingly solid, but the dev openly nudges you toward a gamepad. Xbox and DualShock pads both work great. Driving physics are springy—cargo really feels like it could tip off if you’re reckless.

Performance-wise, this thing is featherlight. Minimum spec is basically “do you own a PC from the last decade?”: Intel i3 or Ryzen 5 3500, 8 GB RAM, and 1 GB of space. Even integrated graphics will run it. It’s also Steam Deck Verified—green checkmark official. I tested on Linux with Proton and it’s flawless.

The dev is Sam C, publishing under Oro Interactive. Looks like their Steam debut, and it’s a strong one. The full release expands past the demo with truck upgrades, new equipment, multiple regions, and even little side activities like ice fishing. They also tucked in a split-screen race mode if you want to throw packages at your friends.

Reception? Fantastic. Steam’s at 96% positive with just under 200 reviews on launch day. Reviewers are digging the “cozy but uncanny” vibe, short 3–5 hour playtime, and the sense of atmosphere. Press outlets are also praising it as the perfect fall game—quiet, strange, and seasonal.

Launch price is C$12.36 with a 25% discount (regular is $12.99 USD). There are bundles with Dredge, Keep Driving, and a little “keitora” bundle with Promise Mascot Agency.

If you like retro visuals, weird small towns, and lo-fi ambience, this is an easy pick-up.
