![]() ![]() It’s cathartic to simply explore the islands, with a vibe that makes stress melt away. There’s no sense of urgency, but that’s good. The game is fun because of how relaxing it is. That best encapsulates my time with Tchia. What’s funniest is when I possess birds and their special ability is to poop. For example, you can Soul Jump into a dog and it can dig to unearth buried treasure. They’re not only used for getting to places faster, but the animals also have special abilities. Soul jumping is one of Tchia’s special abilities, which lets you take control of any object or animal that they can find in the open world. ![]() ![]() However, walking feels a bit monotonous and slow. I was only able to explore a small part of the open world, but when I checked the world map, it’s pretty big. Exploration is best when you can glide and possess animals like birds. There’s a lot of freedom in traversal, as players can climb, glide, swim, and sail their boat around beautiful tropical islands, as well as use Tchia’s special ability to take control of any animal or object they can find, and even jam on their fully playable Ukulele. The Tchia demo takes place several hours into the game and drops me into its open world. Want to catch a crab? You can do that, all while immersed in New Caledonian culture. It’s a game where simply exploring can feel cathartic, even if you’re not really on the way to completing any specific objective. There’s no real straightforward combat like in other games, but the beauty and meat of the game lies in its exploration and traversing the tropical paradise. What is Tchia? Well, it’s essentially an open-world sandbox adventure game set on the islands of New Caledonia. Courtesy of publisher Kepler Interactive, I spent some time with a demo for the survival adventure title. Tchia was originally announced back in 2020 during The Game Awards from Awaceb, a developer from New Caledonia, an island located in the Pacific Ocean. ![]()
