Gameplay
Tchia is an action-adventure video game played from a third-person perspective. The player assumes control of the titular protagonist, who must explore a tropical archipelago to rescue her kidnapped father. Tchia has the ability of "soul jumping", which allows her to possess and assume control of animals and inanimate objects found in the world, and uses their power to travel to new areas, solve puzzles, and defend herself against opponents. For instance, by soul jumping to a dog, players can use its ability to dig out treasure maps. According to developer Phil Crifo, players can soul jump to more than 30 animals and "hundreds of" objects.Tchia can explore the archipelago in her human form. She is equipped with a glider and a raft which allows her to navigate between places quickly. Tchia is highly acrobatic. She can quickly slide down a mountain, climb up trees and use it to catapult herself across the canopy, and ascend nearly all types of surfaces. Through exploration, players will discover different points of interest, minigames, and chests with cosmetic items, meet other non-playable characters, and complete side quests. Tchia features elements from rhythm games, as players can play Tchia's ukelele at will. Players can play "Soul-Melodies", which allows Tchia to perform feats such as summoning animals for soul jumping, altering the time of day, or changing the in-game weather. These gameplay sequences are skippable. Tchia's appearance, as well as her glider and her raft, can be extensively customized.
Plot
The game opens with a young boy being brought to an orphanage. Looking to help make him comfortable, the old woman in charge tells him the story of Tchia.
Tchia and her father Joxu live alone on the island of Uma, occasionally visited by their friend Tre. On Tchia's twelfth birthday, an airship lands on the island and a man named Pwi Dua emerges, kidnapping Joxu. Tchia attempts to stop him and discovers that she has the ability to soul jump, letting her possess creatures and inanimate objects, but fails to stop him from escaping before she falls into the ocean. Tchia wakes up in Tre's camp, who reveals that Joxu is being held captive by Meavora. Knowing he's sending people to abduct him too, Tre gives Tchia his boat so she can escape and rescue her father.
Tchia arrives at the city of Aëmoon and heads to Meavora's palace of Ga Ngazo looking for him. However, she's turned away by the secretary until she brings certain items as a gift. Tchia travels to the village of Hunahmi and meets their chief, who paints her face and teaches her how to carve totems. She then travels to Weliwele, where she meets their matriarch Gaby and her daughter Louise, the latter of whom Tchia starts up a romantic relationship with. The Chief of Hunahmi and Gaby provide Tchia with the gift she needs, and she goes back to Ga Ngazo to meet with Meavora. There she discovers that Meavora is a demon that eats children and babies. She's recognized by Pwi Dua, who attempts to capture her, but she is saved at the last minute by a mysterious Masked Warrior.
Awaking on the island of Ieji Sinöe, Tchia meets with its guardian, Kavere. There Kavere reveals that Tchia's father and missing mother were the king and queen of the islands and that they had a son and daughter with soul-jumping powers. Pwi Dua, afraid of these powers, turned the people against them and performed a coup with Meavora. Joxu managed to save Tchia and went into hiding with her. Tchia, worried that Meavora will go after Louise, leaves Ieji Sinöe to go warn her. However, she discovers that Louise, Gaby, and the Hunahmi Chief have all been captured. Tchia shuts down Meavora's fabric factories to try and save them, but Pwi Dua traps them and her father inside one and sets off a bomb, killing him, Gaby, and the Huahmi Chief. Once again, Tchia is saved by the Masked Warrior, who brings her back to Uma. There the warrior reveals she is Heia, Tchia's mother, and the two bury Joxu.
