Encodya is a cyberpunk point–and–click adventure set in a dystopian Neo–Berlin 40 years in the future. And just like its host city’s rain–soaked streets, this game is damp, drab, and dispiriting.
The game centers around Tina, a nine–year–old orphan, and SAM–53, her lumbering robot protector. You control both individuals, each of whom has a (limited) palette of different skills. Some human characters will only speak to Tina, for example, while SAM can reach places Tina cannot.
