And that’s not the only bug I ran into in my playthrough. Some items highlighted for me-even though it’s hard to see the highlight-but other items just didn’t. Otherwise Easy mode allows you to highlight objects that you can interact with-at least, in theory.

But the thing is, you can save everywhere, and that includes being able to ask for a hint and reload a save before you did-if you want to cheese the game, that is. Even in Easy, it’s best to limit the amount of hints you ask for-something SAM-53 even warns you about. Easy allows for hints and for you to highlight items on the ground, while hard eliminates the ability to highlight and receive hints. There are two difficulties-Hard and Easy. Unfortunately, Encodya falls a little short in both story and gameplay.įirst of all, it’s an unusually easy point and click game. But that’s fine, I don’t necessarily need novel gameplay to enjoy a point and click story. This is immediately an interesting concept, but it’s something I don’t feel is utilized to its fullest. Conversely, there are some tasks that only Tina can perform-some people, for instance, will only talk to humans. He’s also able to do some things she can’t-namely, talk to certain robots, and a few other tasks that might be too technical for a nine year old girl. For the most part, where one goes, the other goes. You have an inventory that is shared between SAM-53 and Tina, which is good, because both SAM-53 and Tina are technically playable characters. Screenshot: EncodyaĮncodya is a pretty run of the mill point and click adventure. This journey will bring you across Neo-Berlin and beyond as Tina seeks to discover her past. Your goal is to gather items and bypass obstacles to help Tina unravel the mystery of her father’s disappearance. You play as a little girl named Tina, who is accompanied by her massive robot guardian SAM-53.

Starting off as a Kickstarter backed game, its Kickstarter page described it as Blade Runner meets Studio Ghibli in terms of art style.

Encodya is full of its own callbacks to those retro point and click games-but while it’s paying homage to classics, it makes few steps into new territory.Įncodya is a point and click adventure game with a cyberpunk aesthetic. I have some hearty nostalgia for the genre, and the genre itself is now full of nostalgic throwbacks to those older days of point and click. In fact, there was a time when my favorite game was a point and click adventure. I’ve played a lot of point and click adventure games in my day.
