Tchia

Tchia is an adventure game with an open world, in which we travel through a tropical land. The game was developed by the independent studio Awaceb.

Plot

Tchia takes us on a journey to a fictional place, to be precise, to a land inspired by New Caledonia, a small French island in the Pacific Ocean, where the developers come from. The heroine of the game is the girl, who walks through the archipelago, meeting its inhabitants and experiencing various adventures.

Mechanics

In Tchia, the action is shown from the third person perspective (TPP). During the game, we explore the region, travelling on foot or on board of a boat. Moving around the locations is made easier by the impressive skills of the protagonist, who can both climb on elements of the environment and swim, use a provisional parachute or even use trees as a kind of launcher. In addition, Tchia is able to take control of animals and various objects like tyres, which gives her additional capabilities; as a bird, for example, she can travel long distances in the air and as a dog she can dig deep holes in the ground. She is also able to play the ukulele; this way, we sometimes push the story forward or manipulate the game world, summoning animals or changing the weather. Although initially her repertoire is limited, with time we unlock new melodies.

All this is not only useful during exploration and completion of various tasks, but also helps us to discover the secrets of the presented world and to solve numerous puzzles. As we progress, we are gaining hundreds of cosmetic accessories to change the look of both the heroine and her boat, as well as useful tools like torch, compass or camera.

Technical aspects

Tchia has colourful graphics in cartoon style.
