Evaluation

ENCODYA launched on PC via Steam on January 26, 2021 as a complete, self-contained point-and-click adventure game. Post-launch activity consisted of bug fix and localization patches in early 2021, followed by a console release on PlayStation and Xbox in November 2021 and a physical "Neon Edition" for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in October 2022. There were no expansions, story DLC, or additional content packages announced or released for the game itself. The most telling signal is a developer post from October 24, 2023, in which Nicola Piovesan of Chaosmonger Studio announced the release of their next game, Three Minutes To Eight, describing it as their newest project and reflecting on ENCODYA as a past chapter. This post makes clear that the developer's focus had moved on entirely. No future content for ENCODYA has been announced or hinted at before or after this post. There are no unreleased DLC entries on the store, no roadmap, and no outstanding promises of additional content. ENCODYA was designed and shipped as a finished narrative experience, and all post-launch activity (patches, ports, physical edition) has concluded. The last developer communication of any kind was on October 24, 2023.

About this game

The Save the World Edition includes ENCODYA, the official ENCODYA soundtrack, a lovingly designed artbook, wallpapers and a Making of Video. In addition, Assemble Entertainment donates 10% of the revenues of this edition to the children's charity Plan International. This is the best option for all those who would like to support the work of the developer of ENCODYA even more and do something good at the same time.

Neo Berlin 2062. Tina – a nine-year-old orphan – lives with SAM-53 – her big clumsy robot guardian – in a rooftop makeshift shelter in Neo-Berlin, a dark megalopolis controlled by corporations. Tina is an urban jungle kid, who has learned to live alone, scavenging from city dumpsters and eking out a living from scraps. Her funny robot is always with her, programmed to protect her no matter what.

One day, the little girl discovers that her father left her an important mission: to finish his plan to save the world from grayness! Tina and SAM embark on an incredible adventure across different realities full of bizarre robotic creatures and grotesque human beings. Through puzzles and exciting dialogues, they’ll find out the true meaning of being alive.
