Assemble Entertainment have released a new developer diary for Chaosmonger Studio’s upcoming point and click adventure, ENCODYA.

ENCODYA is set in the dystopian streets of Neo-Berlin, in a grim cyberpunk future ruled by megacorporations. Players control Tina, a 9-year-old orphan; and SAM-53, her large robotic companion.

Explore the city’s slums, and scavenge for whatever resources and scraps you can find for them. Interact with the citizens of Neo-Berlin, solve puzzles that make use of both characters’ abilities, and try to accomplish Tina’s father’s life goal of making the world less grey and unhappy.

This second featurette dives into ENCODYA‘s art direction, and all the little details that bring Neo-Berlin to life. You can find the featurette below (and can find the first featurette trailer here).

You can find the rundown (via Steam) below:

Neo Berlin 2062. Tina – a nine-year-old orphan – lives with SAM-53 – her big clumsy robot guardian –in a rooftop makeshift shelter in Neo-Berlin, a dark megalopolis controlled by corporations. Tina is an urban jungle kid, who has learned to live alone, scavenging from city dumpsters and eking out a living from scraps. Her funny robot is always with her, programmed to protect her no matter what.

One day, the little girl discovers that her father left her an important mission: to finish his plan to save the world from grayness! Tina and SAM embark on an incredible adventure across different realities full of bizarre robotic creatures and grotesque human beings. Through puzzles and exciting dialogues, they’ll find out the true meaning of being alive.
