The narrative can tend to switch tones quite often, and I found myself amazed that the game doesn’t shy away from being a little dark at times. While playing through Tchia for our review, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I was invested in the lives of these people.īut overall, the story is pretty simple for anyone who’s played a bunch of other open-world adventure games, but there’s a fine layer to this game that’s hard not to admire. She will even come across and meet plenty of side characters and NPCs who will offer their own unique stories, as well as offer their own insights into the surrounding world. So Tchia sets off to rescue her father, and along the way, she must use her wits and survival instincts in order to survive the tropical wilds beyond her home as well as around the urban civilization of New Caledonia. Her father is taken captive by an evil tyrant and ruler of the archipelago, Meavora, leaving her behind as she helplessly watches from the shadows. She and her father are peacefully spending their days on the Island until one day, disaster strikes. Our story takes place on the real-life inspired Island of New Caledonia, where we are introduced to our main protagonist of the game, a little girl named Tchia. Let’s discuss more on that as well as everything there is about the game, in our, starting with its endearing yet sometimes dark storytelling.

Still, the main question remains, is that enough for it to be a unique experience all on its own? The game takes several inspirations from Zelda Breath of the Wild, as is seen from its gameplay elements, but stands its ground enough to offer a few twists here and there.
