Press release:
LONDON – November 30th, 2023.
London/Singapore-based indie games publisher/developer Kepler Interactive and Montreal-based (Canada) indie games developer Awaceb, are today very glad and excited to announce that their beautiful open-world adventure game “Tchia”, is coming to Steam in March next year (2024).

New for the Steam release in March 2024, and available at the same time via a free in-game update for players on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC via the Epic Games Store, players will be able to enjoy a variety of exciting, new features to enhance their journey through the beautiful archipelago, including:

Outfits Perks System – Each piece of equipment Tchia finds in the world now provides various boosts and benefits, such as extra environmental resistances or stamina boosts.

Explore the world and discover new items to suit your playstyle – looking stylish (or sometimes goofy) to boot!
New Cosmetic Items – Search for brand-new costumes and accessories hidden within the island locales to stand out from the crowd and show your personality, such as a classy top hat, or a hilarious clown costume!
New Soul-Melodies – Play your ukulele and unlock new abilities to help you explore the world around you in whole new ways, like a blast of powerful energy to knock fruit out of trees or leaping to new heights and performing tricks in the sky!

Tchia, which has been played by more than one million players since launching on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and the Epic Games Store earlier this year, is a sun-soaked sandbox that invites players to climb, glide, swim and sail around a beautiful open world inspired by New Caledonia – the homeland of Awaceb’s co-founders.

With inherent Soul-Jumping powers at her disposal, Tchia can take control of almost any object or animal she can find to give her the edge in combat and traversal. From taking flight as a bird to reach mountain peaks, plunging to the ocean depths as a dolphin, to setting mindless minions alight as a lantern, players will turn the environment into the ultimate tool.

Tchia is releasing on Steam in March 2024 and is available to Wishlist now. For more information, visit https://www.awaceb.com/tchia.
