biography

The game’s story begins with a girl named “Chia” who lives with her father on a small, remote island. As they prepare to perform ceremonies related to the local culture, a family friend comes to visit them from outside the island. Chia’s father suspects that his friend came alone without being seen by anyone. He immediately becomes suspicious and it turns out that the leader of the tribe has actually tracked his friend to reveal the location of Chia’s father and arrest him. From here, Chia discovers her supernatural abilities. She embarks on a journey to save her father.


the story

At first glance, Tchia's story gives the impression that the story has a childish orientation, but the secrets of the daring “socially unacceptable” scenes between blood, gender agendas and some sexual connotations quickly unfold to create a glaring and unexpected contradiction in the course of its events!

● The game deliberately focuses on bloody scenes associated with children and tries to present them in a disgusting comic style!

At first it was more spontaneous, until the daring scenes repeated themselves several times in the same rhythm. It changed from bloody scenes to sexual revelations in direct and indirect ways. As if the game director deliberately tried to hit the wall with the usual ethics!

The course of events in the game is turbulent and lacks logical coherence.

Immediately after starting the mission to save Chia's father and sailing in search of him, you suddenly meet strange people, perform a show with them, and forget about your father!

Furthermore, “Chia” quickly adapts to her supernatural abilities to reincarnate inanimate objects and animals, without providing a logical context that indicates her astonishment at obtaining this ability!

● The cinematic scenes and animation were what most distinguished the story and narrative side, presented in a very professional style similar to Pixar's work.

Gameplay and world

Despite the perceived weakness in the storyline, the studio has put most of its focus into delivering diverse and fun gameplay and a world ripe for exploration with an impressive artistic approach.

What's wrong with the play style?

Exploration is the main element of the game and is solely related to upgrading the character's skills. After upgrading your character, the exploration element will lose its luster and become meaningless!
The game's combat system and enemies were the weakest element of the gameplay and lacked diversity and depth.

What's wrong with the game world?

An initial wrong impression of the game world that it is in an uninhabited area, but there is a fully civilized city and modern factories, which created another kind of contradiction.

The distant view shows some areas in an ugly way, it was better to create a hazy atmosphere to give a more attractive character to the distant areas.

Vast parts of the world were completely devoid of elements of exploration, and their function was limited to crossing them, nothing more.

Final score – 6.5

6.5

Not recommended

A passionate studio, if it weren't for imposing those daring scenes and the agenda "deviating" from human instinct, is trying to reach a certain type of innocent audience in exchange for satisfying some suspects, but it cost to build a scattered story that doesn't have a specific direction! We don't recommend trying it
