Press release:
LONDON (Feb. 23, 2023).
The London/Singapore-based indie games publisher/developer Kepler Interactive and Montreal-based (Canada) indie games developer Awaceb, are today very proud and happy to announce that their beautiful open-world adventure game “Tchia”, is coming to PC (via the Epic Games Store) and Playstation (PS5 and PS4) on March 21st, 2023 (the game will also be available day one with PlayStation Plus Extra).

Take a deep dive into Tchia’s heart-warming narrative with a brand-new story trailer revealed today that shines a spotlight on Tchia’s antagonist, Meavora!

When her father is abducted and her home is taken over by Meavora, the archipelago’s tyrannical ruler, Tchia, the game’s heroine, embarks on a grand adventure fueled by mystical wonder and disarmingly tender moments. As players traverse this fictional land inspired heavily by the island nation of New Caledonia, they’ll be introduced to a variety of new cultures, traditions and languages.

Along the way, Tchia will unlock her own otherworldly abilities, letting her soul-jump into animals and objects found across her home in order to solve puzzles, traverse freely and avoid danger. Using this ability, her trusty slingshot and a magical ukulele, players will guide Tchia as she bravely frees her home from the clutches of this tyrannical god.

Tchia’s Oléti edition was also unveiled today, a celebratory package that will add a selection of cosmetic items inspired by Kepler Interactive’s family of games.

Customize your boat, glider or even outfit with Sifu, Scorn, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn and Cat Quest inspired designs. The Oléti edition can be pre-ordered today on PC at https://store.epicgames.com/p/tchia–oleti-edition, or wishlisted for PlayStation consoles at: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10003612/.

Tchia launches on to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC via the Epic Games Store on March 21, 2023. For more information, visit https://www.awaceb.com/tchia.
