…but what exactly is Tchia?

It seems Tchia has an ability called Jumping that she can use to control any animal or object – the Game Awards trailer had her flopping about as a mango. This ability seems useful for travelling the world in unique ways and solving problems, like opening a treasure chest using a crab’s claws. More natural modes of travel like gliding, sailing, climbing and underwater swimming were also shown off.
The trailer gave us a glimpse of some less-supernatural occurrences in the game. Tchia can play the ukulele (ala The Last Of Us Part II’s guitar), explore the island at night with a flashlight (likeAlan Wake) and utilise a slingshot (reminiscent of Rockstar’s Bully). ForgetDokeV: this is the real game that’s like every other game.
I was wondering what Tchia meant, but turns out, when you type in “what does Tchia mean?” the first thing you’ll find is a weird website that gives you seemingly randomly generated meanings for names.According to themTchias are “curious and exploratory” which seems to fit the game. I also found that Chia is an annual plant of the mint family.
Tchia is due out in 2022 viaSteam. You can wishlist it now.
