Nostalgia from a New Caledonia childhood shaped Tchia
June 17, 2022Tchia is one of the more interesting indie games we’ve seen this year. The colorful adventure game drops players in a tropical world inspired by the tiny Pacific island of New Caledonia.
You can free climb, glide, sail, and swim your way through the tropical paradise, but there’s a lot more to it than that. Tchia also features the ability to “soul jump”, inhabiting animals and inanimate objects to move around and solve puzzles.
And did I mention that the game features a fully playable ukulele?
To find out a bit more about the game, which hits early next year, we chatted with Phil Crifo, game director at developer Awaceb, about how his New Caledonia childhood and personal journey helped shape Tchia and what players can expect from the title when it hits.
