It’s also intensely cultural, coming from Awaceb in New Caledonia (this is only their second game!) and steeped in local history and talent. It’s relentlessly charming and packed with the kinds of ideas that the churning, AAA machine wouldn’t touch with a million-dollar budget. Tchia is a fantastic example of this, as both a game that often feels compromised by its ambitions but never once seems burdened with them. The gulf in production values between a blockbuster release and a passion project from a small studio might be obvious at times, but the same can be said of the creativity and ingenuity between them.
One of the greatest appeals of a good indie video game, to me, is knowing I’m playing something created with passion.
