In Tchia, players assume the role of Tchia, who lives on a tiny island in the Pacific Ocean with her father, Joxu. On her journey, there are a lot of characters players will meet in the game besides Tchia herself and her father, Joxu.
The story of the game starts when a flying ship arrives and upends everything Tchia has ever known. When Joxu is captured by a henchman of Meavora, a half-human, half-worm god creature who rules over the archipelago, Tchia must leave her island to rescue him and put an end to the scourge that is Meavora‘s evil reign.
The characters in Tchia speak in a mix of French and Drehu (a local dialect) to authentically represent the unique culture that Awaceb’s co-founders call home. It’s an approach reflecting the care and loves the team put into the game.
