Awaceb (Fossil Echo) and Kepler Interactive revealed a colorful new trailer for Tchia.

Today’s mini-feature showcases the game's soul-jumping mechanic, which lets you take control of any animal or object you can find to outwit your enemies or simply cruise the glorious tropical skies of a New Caledonia-inspired archipelago as a bird. In combat, pick up an oil lantern and chuck it into a group of enemies, or better yet, become the oil lantern and fling yourself forward before hopping into a nearby seagull to make a cunning escape.

With over 30 playable animals and hundreds of objects to soul-jump into, Tchia turns the environment into the player's ultimate tool.  

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 that anyone can 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.

Tchia is coming to PS4, PS5 and PC (Steam/Epic Games Store) in early 2023.
