Explore the Enchanting World of Tchia

In Tchia, available on both PS4 and PS5, players step into the sandals of a young girl on a journey across a vibrant archipelago. As Tchia, you seek to rescue your father from the clutches of Meavora, the tyrannical ruler. This tropical adventure invites exploration and creativity in an expansive, physics-driven sandbox, brimming with beautiful islands to discover and conquer.

Embrace Soul Jumping for Unique Adventures

A standout feature of Tchia is her ability to soul jump into any animal or object. With over 30 animals at your fingertips, players can soar as a bird, swim as a fish, or dig as a dog. This unique mechanic not only enhances traversal options but also serves as a tool for solving puzzles and uncovering secrets hidden throughout the islands, making exploration feel fresh and engaging.

A Rich Archipelago Awaits

Traversal in Tchia dives deeper thanks to an intuitive climbing mechanic, allowing players to ascend any surface—including trees influenced by the physics engine. Glide from heights, sail across turquoise lagoons in a customizable boat, and dive around coral reefs. Every corner of the world invites exploration, leading to treasures and challenges that await in the water and on land.

Engaging Combat and Mystical Enemies

Players will encounter Maano, mystical enemies born from the very materials of the islands. Combat in Tchia emphasizes improvisation and utilizes her diverse abilities. Quick thinking and strategic use of soul jumping are crucial for surviving intense encounters. Beyond fighting, players can also find mystical challenges in Totem Shrines, further testing their skills and creativity.

Dive into a Heartfelt Story Inspired by Culture

At its core, Tchia weaves a poetic coming-of-age story inspired by New Caledonian culture. As you navigate through lush landscapes, meet an eclectic cast of characters, all of whom bring life to the narrative. Fully animated cutscenes, voiced in traditional languages, add depth to the emotional journey, complemented by an original orchestral soundtrack infused with local sounds.

Customization and Creativity

Customization plays a vital role in Tchia's engaging world. Players can stylize Tchia’s clothing and boat with hundreds of unlockable items, ranging from traditional attire to fun and quirky options. Additionally, various tools such as a flashlight, slingshot, and camera can be acquired, enhancing both gameplay mechanics and the interactive experience within the archipelago.

A Cultural Journey with Local Relevance

The world of Tchia is a love letter to New Caledonia, where culture, landscapes, and traditions merge to create an engaging backdrop for exploration. The co-founders of Awaceb infuse authenticity by showcasing local music, languages, and folklore, allowing players to not just engage with a game but experience a narrative resonant with universal themes and rich cultural heritage.
