Dialogue from both the playable character and NPCs reference the development and developers for why things are the way they are. Initially, the game broke the fourth dimension a little too much for my tastes. The world is immersive and believable, but there’s still a lot of work left for the developers to do. It’s not terribly distracting, and I only noticed it maybe once or twice in the demo. The writing is good, but it may be slightly noticeable that the dialogue was written by a non-native English speaker. Moving on, the voice acting is top-notch. The cursor must be nearly on the edge of the screen, and I often found myself clicking out of the game by accident. My only complaint is in moving from one area to another. The UI and controls are extremely easy to use, especially for anyone who has adventure game experience. Here, the puzzles begin! An in-game screenshot of Encoyda during a conversation with an NPC. They need money to make it home, but of course, they have none. Surviving on foods scraps and the goodwill of others, the player begins with Tina and Sam at a bus station.
It’s a futuristic cyberpunk dystopian where Tina, a young orphan, is cared for by a robot named S.A.M.
Encodya review free#
The game is free to download, but you can kick in a donation like me if you’re a big point-and-click fan.Ĭreated in Unity, the game has a fantastic art style. I was fortunate to discover the game while browsing itch.io and stumbled across their page. This is the group’s first foray into video games, thanks to their Kickstarter stretch goals. Encodya is a beautiful game created by Chaosmonger Studios which is, in fact, a film company.
