As players set forth on their journey through Tchia, they will discover that the game’s beautiful world also holds some danger. The Maano, evil fabric creatures acting under the orders of the archipelago's tyrannical ruler Meavora, haunt the islands, and players will have to use their creativity and a whole lot of fire to rid their home of these mindless minions. To show off what it calls Tchia’s “evasive combat,” Awaceb is excited to share a new gameplay featurette for the highly-anticipated upcoming title.
Instead of guns or other violent weapons, the game’s heroine, Tchia, is armed with her trusty slingshot and her unique soul-jumping ability, which will aid her in evading her foes and burning up the Maano for good. Players can Soul-throw lanterns and flammable items at the fabric enemies to set them alight, or simply take some dynamite or a carton of gasoline stored in their backpack and toss it for a quick, fiery explosion.

As players progress through the game and the world evolves, larger challenges will also present themselves. Maano fortresses are much harder to take down and will put player’s creativity and agility to the test. Filled with large fabric piles, players must destroy them to prevent the Maano from respawning and overrunning the islands. Many other trials await in Totem Shrines, where a range of unique challenges will put the player's skills to task and help Tchia reach her full potential.
