I’m the type of person who’s very goal- and narrative-oriented, so the simple act of existing in a world can sometimes feel meandering-no amount of clearing dots off a giant map will hit the same as a crafted, linear experience.īut Tchia is one of the rare exceptions where, just as I’m about to get annoyed at how long it’s taking to traverse its tropical island world, the sunset’s light hits the water just right as my raft is passing over it, forcing me to stop and take in the view. More often than not, open-world games grind against my own gaming sensibilities. The characters are voiced by local talent in traditional languages, and subtitled in many languages including English, French, Russian, Chinese, German, and more.Tchia and Louise are seen sitting on a balcony while playing ukelele. Inspiration was taken from the rich and varied local landscapes, cultures, music, languages, folklores and traditions and was used to create a fictional world and to tell a universal story for all to understand and enjoy. The world of Tchia was inspired by New Caledonia, A tiny island in the Pacific Ocean, homeland of Awaceb’s co-founders. You will also unlock useful and fun tools along the way such as a flashlight, slingshot, compass, camera… Stylize Tchia’s clothing and boat with hundreds of unlockable cosmetic items ranging from a traditional look to the most over the top options.

Fully animated cutscenes voiced in traditional language will punctuate your journey while an original orchestral score infused with local sounds creates a unique and immersive world.

Take Tchia on a heartfelt adventure and meet a diverse cast of characters inspired by New Caledonian cultures.

Use it at key story moments during rhythm sections, or play unlockable melodies at any point in the open world to trigger special events such as attracting animals, triggering rainfall… Just jamming by yourself or playing alongside other inhabitants of the archipelago, your fully playable ukulele will be a trusty companion throughout the game.
