ENCODYA - Neon Edition Set For A European Release

As a fan of point and click adventures, I was pretty fond of ENCODYA when it came out – even if it stumped me on a few puzzles, so reading about a collectors edition is great news.

Chaosmonger Studio recently tweeted that their game has been pirated, which must be a double kick to the teeth and balls (or other bits) when working so hard on a title. Having reported about the game quite a few times, I understand how much this was a passion project. Hopefully, they’ll recuperate some pennies with the ENCODYA – Neon Edition.

Published by Meridiem Games, a physical release will be coming later this year, which features a beautiful box that contains exclusive artwork, a set of postcards, plus a cut-to-shape cardboard figure of Tina and Sam-53. You can, of course, read my ENCODYA review, but here are some of the key features:

• Explore the dark cyberpunk world of ENCODYA in 2.5D with 2 playable characters.
• Over 34+ non-player characters bring the world of ENCODYA to life and provide a varied and exciting story.
• Your journey will take you to more than 100 locations where there is a lot to explore and discover.
• Special, randomly generated puzzles provide a unique gaming experience and present you with great challenges.
• The cinematic cutscenes and the futuristic art and sound design bring the story of ENCODYA alive.
• In keeping with the games by which it was inspired, ENCODYA is packed to the brim with tiny details, easter eggs, and a fully-fleshed out world to explore
• The original soundtrack, specially created for ENCODYA, makes the exciting, crackling atmosphere even more tangible.
• Professional dubbing actors lend their voices to the characters

Here’s a gameplay trailer if the words are too much for you:

The special boxed version of ENCODYA – Neon Edition will be available for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on 21st October 2022 across European specialist retail stores.
