They are all stellar, and besides Lilly, I don’t know that any of them get their moment in the sun. I felt like I bid farewell to many of them far too early, and their part in the story was simply to move me to the next chapter. Maybe it will take a second game or expansion, but I’d also like to see more from some of the characters you’re introduced to. It isn’t bad, but it never reaches the potential it has. I’m not expecting Oscar-worthy cinema here, and the main story is decently short, but there’s so much more I’d love to learn beyond the story Tchia presents. It can be a little shallow as well, with a one-dimensional villain and plenty of backstory that’s missing in action.
But, the main narrative can be a bit hard to keep up with. There is some great story telling that occurs when you’re still in exploration mode at the beginning, as well as in a specific forest you reach along the way. That being said, there are highs and lows when it comes to the story of Tchia. There is an option to turn on a family friendly filter in the settings, so I warn anyone grabbing this for your little ones, make sure that’s active. I’ll do my best to stay out of spoiler territory, but Meovara does something extremely revolting in your very first meeting, and it’s not family friendly. Starting with the story, there are so many delightful moments, but there are similarly several that are absolutely harrowing. This is where you get into the nitty gritty of Tchia, and there is a lot here I didn’t expect. But not before Tchia gets a swipe in at the villain’s (named Meavora) second in command, Pwi Dua, using a special power she didn’t know she had. The next day a helicopter comes to the island, stealing Tchia’s dad away and leaving her stranded with Tre, the family friend. It’s after this beautiful segment of welcoming him with a “coutume” (a customary gift) that everything hits the fan. She’s doing normal things on a little island with her father, and waiting for the arrival of a family friend with needed supplies. Tchia, our titular heroine, finds herself less of one at the beginning of the game.
