There’s even a Wind Waker-style customizable boat that allows us to surf the waves along our journey. The game’s free climbing mechanic let’s us ascend any object without restrictions and glide across the landscape to reach otherwise inaccessible sections. Whether it’s digging as a dog or soaring to the peak of the island’s mountain, there is no shortage of mysteries to uncover with Tchia.

The game features hundreds of playable objects and over 30 animals to control. Tchia possesses a special ability called ‘Soul Jumping’, which allows her to take control of any animal or object she comes into contact with. We will follow Tchia on a tropical open-world adventure as she sets off to rescue her father from the cruel tyrant, Meavora, ruler of the archipelago. The game takes place in a fictional world based on the island of New Caledonia in the Pacific Ocean. As a cozy gamer, I loved the stress-free, no-pressure vibe of the game.Developer Awaceb has announced that their upcoming narrative story adventure game Tchiawill be releasing this Spring exclusively on PS4 and PS5. Whenever I felt stuck on a problem, I just walked away from it and explored other parts of the island until I found a new technique or strategy to get the job done. The game world is full of little “aha!” moments. Some games have you beating your head against the wall trying to figure out your way around an obstacle, but Tchia isn’t one of them. Fortunately, once you get the hang of Soul Jumping, the Maano are easy enough to defeat by possessing lanterns and gas cans and Soul Throwing them at your targets.įiguring out solutions to problems requires a little bit of creative thinking, but it’s never difficult. If the Maano spot her, they’ll trap her in a cage, and she’ll have to use her Soul Jump ability to escape and try again to defeat them.

Tchia must destroy them and their fabric piles by burning them, but she has to be sneaky about it. Most of the game world in Tchia is friendly, with one exception – the Maano, mysterious fabric soldiers scattered across the map.
