Evaluation
Tchia originally launched on PlayStation and Epic Games Store in March 2023, then arrived on Steam on March 21, 2024 — its one-year anniversary — bringing with it a set of new features including an Outfit Perks System, new Soul Melodies, and new cosmetics. All three items in the DLC list (a cosmetics pack, the original soundtrack, and a Beach-Sides DLC) were released on that same launch date. No DLC has been announced or listed as unreleased since then. Following the Steam launch, the developer issued a few minor bug-fix patches in March and April 2024, and announced a Nintendo Switch release in June 2024. The last developer communication of any kind was on May 21, 2024, when a small performance patch was released. There have been no posts since then — no roadmap, no new content announcements, and no indication that further updates are planned. The game's store description presents it as a complete, self-contained narrative adventure with no mention of ongoing content support. With all DLC already shipped on day one, no outstanding commitments, and developer communications having tapered off entirely after the initial launch window, Tchia appears to have launched as a finished product.

About this game
Join Tchia on her tropical open-world adventure as she sets off to rescue her father from the cruel tyrant, Meavora, ruler of the archipelago. Climb, glide, swim, and sail your boat around beautiful islands as you explore a physics-driven sandbox. Face the fabric soldiers created by Meavora in open encounters where your creativity gives you the edge. Take control of any animal or object you can find, make new friends and jam on your fully playable Ukulele.
A poetic coming-of-age story inspired by New Caledonia.
Tchia's special gift lets you take control of any animal or object you can find. With over 30 animals and hundreds of objects to choose from, fly around as a bird, explore the ocean as a fish or dig for treasures as a dog! Use your unique soul-jumping abilities to explore solve puzzles, and uncover secrets.
Jump and glide your way across a vast archipelago and use the Tricks system to perform cool stunts and dives. The free climbing mechanic lets you ascend anything in the world without restriction including any physics-driven tree. Take to the ocean waves, and sail your customizable boat across turquoise lagoons and dive around coral reefs and shipwrecks.
Face the Maano: mysterious enemies spawned from pieces of wood and fabric. Keep moving, improvise, and use all of Tchia’s abilities to come out on top of those intense encounters. You can also put your skills to the test by tackling mystical challenges in the Totem Shrines.
Just jamming by yourself or playing alongside other inhabitants of the archipelago, your fully playable ukulele will be a trusty companion throughout the game. Use it at key story moments during rhythm sections, or play unlockable melodies at any point in the open world to trigger special events such as attracting animals, triggering rainfall…
Take Tchia on a heartfelt adventure and meet a diverse cast of characters inspired by New Caledonian cultures. Fully animated cutscenes voiced in traditional language will punctuate your journey while an original orchestral score infused with local sounds creates a unique and immersive world.
Stylize Tchia’s clothing and boat with hundreds of unlockable cosmetic items ranging from a traditional look to the most over the top options. You will also unlock useful and fun tools along the way such as a flashlight, slingshot, compass, camera...
The world of Tchia was inspired by New Caledonia, A tiny island in the Pacific Ocean, homeland of Awaceb's co-founders. Inspiration was taken from the rich and varied local landscapes, cultures, music, languages, folklores and traditions and was used to create a fictional world and to tell a universal story for all to understand and enjoy. The characters are voiced by local talent in traditional languages, and subtitled in many languages including English, French, Russian, Chinese, German, and more.
