There were several occasions during my time with Tchia that I completely forgot I was sitting in my apartment, during what felt like a never-ending series of dreary, cold days. Instead, I was getting lost in a sun-kissed archipelago; spending my time swimming close to the sea bed as a dolphin, sailing around the ocean on my boat, or soaring across the skies as a Silver Gull. The world of Tchia is an inviting playground that’s ripe for exploration, discovery, and experimentation; offering up a delightful escape you can easily step in and out of. And thanks to its inventive Soul-Jumping mechanic that allows you to warp into any animal or small object, the experience of playing Awaceb’s ambitious sandbox adventure is truly at its best when you’re traversing the landscape, and leisurely losing yourself in this pocket of paradise.
