Tchia was originally announced for Google Stadia and PC via Steam in late 2020, but clearly some things have changed over the last nine months. Unlockable melodies will then go on to affect the open world. You can take a break from all of that though and play the Ukulele, which you will be able to play with picking, strumming, bends and more. There’s also clear signs of industrialisation and cities of the modern world encroaching and invading this island. A little hint of the game’s story is that you are tasked with finding Meavora and foiling some kind of evil. With a few simple strums, players can change the time of day, weather or use powerful magic abilities.The Pacific island of New Caledonia provides the game with a variety of landscapes, the cultures, music, languages and traditions which Tchia blend into a fictional world. While players can simply play a few chords on it whenever they want, the instrument itself is filled with magic, letting Tchia change the world around her. Soul-jumping offers additional solutions, with Tchia being able to control a nearby lantern and fling it at an enemy.Īlso aiding Tchia on her journey is her trusty ukulele. Players will have to use everything at their disposal to take them out, choosing between burning the cloth menaces with lanterns or stunning them with Tchia’s trusty slingshot. The island Tchia calls home has been invaded by strange fabric creatures called the Maano, who under the orders of the archipelago’s evil ruler, have abducted her father. Not everything is calm and relaxing in Tchia though. Take to the seas and explore the ocean depths as a dolphin, or traverse distances by sky as a seagull. Tchia’s soul-jumping ability allows her to quickly hop into the body of almost any animal or inanimate object you can find. But with an entire archipelago to explore, two legs just don’t cut it. Tchia can climb to the top of a tree and catapult herself across the canopy, as well as climb almost any larger obstacle, whether rocks or mountains. But other methods of getting around are much faster, or at least, more unique.


Traveling across the landscape, Tchia can run, jump or glide vast distances, as long as her stamina is up.
