We tried Tchia, and we tell you our first impressions of this game that promotes positivism
Each game that we analyze aims to transmit to us a series of sensations. Some pure fun and entertainment, other tensions and fears, and some third parties try to provide positivity and good vibes to disconnect from a bad day. Tchia pretends to be from the last group, breathing tunes of “buenrollismo” which are palpable from the first minute. We were able to test a preview phase of the game, then we will tell you about the preliminary sensations that the work of the Studio Awaceb.
Enjoy every corner of your island
In this tropical open-world adventure, we will control Tchia, a girl tasked with finding her father, kidnapped by Meavora. Our investigations will force us to move around the two islands that make up our home, with a multitude of tasks to perform and activities to entertain us.
The inspiration to develop this game comes from a real place based on the islands of New Caledonia. Not only in its visual facet, which is more than obvious, but in the cultural field, bringing together the customs and lifestyles of the inhabitants of this island. If you’ve seen films like Vahiana, you know exactly what this adventure looks like.
A calm and peaceful life that is reflected in the video game itself. It’s true that they kidnap our father, but everything we will experience will be done in a relaxed atmosphere, no need to rush at all. We will be able to travel its seas and rivers on a raft, visit the different towns we find and go in search of the collectibles scattered in its mountains.
Rise from the ashes
Will have moments of battle against dolls created by Meavora himself, but don’t expect anything frantic and crazy. In fact, stealth will be our best asset, and we will have to look for the tricks to set it on fire. To do this, you will need to search for oil lamps, bonfires, and any burning object that burns these beings. We can even become objects to surprise the opponent, being one of the most curious abilities that Tchia will have.
Wind colors to discover
In this preliminary version that we appreciated, we had activated the ability to possess various animals and objects on stage. Some will be worth just for fun, but other times they will be very useful because of the virtues they have. For example, we can take flight like a dove or fly down steep mountains if we manage to reincarnate as a deer. As far as I know, this mechanic is not exploited much, although I suspect that as the exploration becomes more complicated, this facet of our protagonist will be more important.
There’s so much he left me (and some I don’t know) that I can’t wait to take control of it from the start of the game. A very important element that I also saw in this preview is the music. We will have a ukulele with which we can sing songs and play their chords as if from one Guitar Hero it was treated Everything is very beautiful, since its precious melodies are accompanied by this peace that the islands transmit to us.
Gambling as restorative therapy
Although he is increasingly reluctant to open worlds and their racing mechanics, it is true that Tchia has something different. It’s a game to brighten your day, whether you play 30 minutes or 3 hours. And it is that his grace resides in this calm, colorful environment with pacifist overtones despite the confrontations with huge dolls. It is so pacifist that we can even deactivate any stressful scene if we want to enjoy this proposal with the little ones in the house. The wait until the release of the title of Awaceb can be long, but we will brighten it up with tribal music and a good house cocktail. And peace to all, of course.
