Canada’s gaming industry just levelled up.
Two video games from Canada-based studios won major awards at this year’s Game Awards, which took place last week in Los Angeles.
Tchia, developed by Montreal-based independent game studio Awaceb, won the coveted Most Impactful Game of the Year award. The award symbolizes recognition for games that provoke thought and carry a pro-social message, according to the Game Awards website.
It’s something that game creator Phil Crifo calls “symbolic and important.”
A heartfelt adventure with cultural significance
Tchia follows the titular character on her journey to save her father and her home, a collection of idyllic islands, after they’re attacked by strange fabric-made creatures.
