Encodya switch review
Conversely, SAM is able to shmooze his way into gathering information by flirting (perhaps unwittingly) with a female android who wouldn’t otherwise offer up any details to Tina.

For example, a sexist, grumpy old man with a vendetta against robots is far less willing to talk to SAM than he is with Tina (especially since he thinks that Tina is a boy). ENCODYA - Featurette 2 Trailer videoEncodya- Trailer Check out this new trailer for Encodya, which shows us 190 from the upcoming adventure. You’re able to switch between playing as Tina and SAM, resulting in different conversations taking place depending on who you're playing as. None of the puzzles are overly difficult, though - most of which can be figured out by hints from Tina or SAM, or through conversations with other characters. The voice acting is on par with what I would expect from a point-and-click as well, even if the dialogue itself is a bit uninspired - something that seems to come with the nature of point-and-click adventures in general.Įncodya is your typical game in that regard - find an obstacle that needs to be overcome through the use of an inventory item that can be found in one of the various areas around the map, rinse, and repeat. Luckily, the soundtrack of Encodya picks up that slack with ambient music that plays throughout the adventure, adding to the overall feelings of intrigue, hope, and love that are conveyed. Tina and SAM’s life becomes a bit more adventurous once they learn more about Tina’s past, and why it is that the megalomaniac Rumpf is searching for them.
The year is 2062, with the city controlled by mega-corporations, propaganda, and surveillance, with the deplorable Mayor Rumpf at the helm. Everything feels like it belongs together, and to further bring the city to life, the musical score and background music really add to the atmosphere of this dank cyberpunk world. In Encodya, you take on the role of Tina - a nine-year-old orphan who is surviving on the streets along with her robot companion, SAM-53, who was assigned to her at birth, as is the case with all newborns in the futuristic, dystopian city of Neo-Berlin. Although some of the story beats and puzzles are a bit too convenient, Encodya offers up a heartfelt narrative that is worth playing for any fan of point-and-click adventures. Encodya - from developer Chaosmonger Studio - takes a spin at the genre through a point-and-click adventure. Cyberpunk 2077 may be in the rearview mirror - at least until it can get itself sorted out on consoles - but there’s zero indication of the cyberpunk genre itself slowing down.
