Third ENCODYA Developer Featurette has been released!
There are plenty of parallels to draw between creating a film and creating a video game, but the interactive nature of the latter is a whole different ball game that brings with its unique challenges.
Today, together with developer Chaosmonger Studio, we are offering a peek into the mind of a man who has filled both roles: Nicola Piovesan, ENCODYA-Chief Developer and Director of the critically-acclaimed short film 'Robot Will Protect You'.
In this latest behind-the-scenes featurette, “The Origins of ENCODYA”, Piovesan walks viewers through the characters and setting, which were inspired by Piovesan’s short film, bringing Tina and SAM-53 along for the ride, but features a totally new story and a more fleshed-out, interactive version of Neo-Berlin.
Piovesan describes the complex process of turning a film into a video game and provides a level of insight into the craft rarely seen, from an individual with feet firmly planted in both worlds.

ENCODYA is now available on Windows PC, Mac, and Linux platforms via Steam and GOG as 'Standard'- and 'Save The World' Edition.
The special “Save The World Edition” includes the artbook, soundtrack, behind-the-scenes footage, and wallpapers. Additionally, for every Save The World Edition of ENCODYA sold, 10% of the proceeds will be donated to Plan International, a charity committed to advancing children's rights and equality for young girls.
Key Features of ENCODYA:
A Touching Story of Survival: The world of Neo-Berlin is a scary, aggressive place, but Tina and SAM-53 find strength in their bond that will help see them through to better times
A Glimpse Into our Potential Future: The corporate dystopian hell of 2062 with its eerily prescient billboards and familiar ad jingles offers a reflection — and a warning — about our contemporary world and where we might be headed, thanks to a brilliantly realized world designed by Nicola Piovesan.
Come Back Again Soon: There is plenty to explore in Neo-Berlin, and to keep players visiting again and again, ENCODYA’s puzzles are randomly generated, so each new playthrough provides a unique challenge!
Old Fashioned Hand-Crafted Design: Like your favorite Indie band or craft beer, ENCODYA was a passion-project designed by a hands-on developer with a very specific vision.

Cyberpunk Adventure ENCODYA is Now Available on Steam!
Join Spunky Orphan Tina and Her Armored Automaton Bestie as They Set Out to Bring Their City Back from the Brink
Together with developer Chaosmonger Studio we are pleased to announce that our Bladerunner-meets-Full Throttle point-and-click adventure game, ENCODYA, is now available on Steam for Windows, MacOS and Linux. Not only that, but in classic Assemble Entertainment fashion, a special “Save the World” edition is also available, which comes with the official artbook, soundtrack, several “making-of” videos, and gorgeous high definition wallpapers. In keeping with the game’s theme, for every “Save the World” edition sold, we will donate 10% of the proceeds to the children’s charity Plan International, an organization that works to advance children’s rights and equality for girls worldwide.
ENCODYA follows in the footsteps of beloved titles like Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle, but with a hefty dose of dystopian cyberpunk stylings. Join the plucky ragamuffin Tina and her best pal, an imposing mass of metal and wiring named SAM-53, as they navigate the gritty streets of Neo-Berlin. Tina and SAM-53 must use their wits to help fix a society where mankind has become hopelessly addicted to the technology that allows them to ignore the plight of their city and waste their days in a virtual world.

About ENCODYA
“It’s been a long journey with plenty of blood, sweat, and tears to get Encodya into the hands of players,” said Nicola Piovesan, Founder of Chaosmonger Studio. “We here at Chaosmonger poured our hearts and souls into this project and can’t wait to see people join Tina and SAM-53 on their quest to save Neo Berlin.”
Encodya has been painstakingly and lovingly crafted from the ground up, including a completely original soundtrack — right down to the ad jingles found across Neo Berlin — along with 35 unique and distinctive NPCs and a whopping 4,000+ lines of dialogue. A cute and colorful art design with a hint of something more sinister reflects the progress, or lack thereof, of a city under siege from rampant capitalism and an overreliance on technology. Explore a beautifully realized world, solve puzzles, and help Tina and SAM-53 bring life and love back into the city they call home.
Key Features of ENCODYA Include:
Bring Your Michelin Guide: Neo Berlin is a big city with a lot to see, and players can explore more than 100 unique locations
Thank You, Please Visit Us Again: Enjoyed your time exploring the city and want to make a return trip? Encodya features randomly generated puzzle solutions to add more value to multiple playthroughs
Get Chatty with a Cast of Crazy Characters: During their journey, Tina and SAM-53 will meet all sorts of interesting people (and robots), and with 4,000 lines of dialogue to experience, they’ll be spending plenty of time getting to know them
Keep Your Eyes Peeled: 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

New ENCODYA featurette takes players behind the scenes of ENCODYA
Together with developer Chaosmonger Studio we are inviting you behind the scenes of the upcoming cyberpunk adventure game ENCODYA, with Chief Developer Nicola Piovesan.
Coming to Steam on January 26, 2021, ENCODYA brings players to the dystopian near-future of Neo-Berlin, where a young orphan girl named Tina teams up with a hulking mass of metal and wiring named SAM-53 to bring light and happiness back to the hellish cyberpunk landscape of 2062.
In this new featurette, Piovesan takes players behind the scenes and dives into the little details that truly bring the world of Neo-Berlin to life. An adventure game succeeds, when it offers a believable fantasy world for players to explore and discover, and as Piovesan explains in the video, ensuring each element of the game lends itself to the experience is key to doing so. From the creation of completely original billboards and advertising jingles to simple things like the dialogue between NPCs on the street, Piovesan takes viewers through the creation process, providing developer insight into how creating an authentic world is possible with a strong narrative and plenty of subtle background detail.

Additional Key Features of Encodya Include:
Entirely Original Soundtrack and Audio: Not only will players enjoy a unique, custom soundtrack, but everything from the character dialogue to the advertising jingles are self-produced audio tracks, not simply sound bites from an audio-library
A Robust Script: To really bring the world of Encodya to life, more than 4,000 lines of dialogue provide an engaging and immersive cinematic experience
This Puzzle Was Different Last Time...: Puzzle randomization adds replay value and a fresh challenge for players looking to enjoy multiple trips to Neo-Berlin
A Full Cast of Characters: With 34 distinct NPCs, the dystopian world of Neo-Berlin is brought to life with a whole host of fully-realized individuals
ENCODYA will be available on Windows PC, MacOS, and Linux platforms via Steam on January 26, 2021.
