11 bit studios :

Warsaw, Poland — March 4th, 2024 — Warsaw, 1905 — an enchanting city pulsating with cultural opulence, political upheaval, and mystical enigmas awaits you in The Thaumaturge, an isometric RPG that blends a gripping narrative with morally ambiguous choices and a meaningful theme. Crafted by Fool's Theory and published by 11 bit studios, The Thaumaturge beckons players to embody Wiktor Szulski, a gifted yet tormented thaumaturge, as he traverses the complex tapestry of early 20th-century Warsaw.
 

Launching today on PC, with subsequent releases planned for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S later this year, the game is a unique combination of history and fantasy. With turn-based combat, character development, and investigation mechanics, The Thaumaturge promises an immersive experience richly infused with Slavic folklore, that challenges players to reflect on all of their inner (and outer) demons.


A Modern Take on an RPG:
The Thaumaturge bypasses traditional genre elements and features side quests seamlessly integrated with the main story, along with a meaningful, personal, narrative-driven adventure backed by a myriad of smaller stories.


Be a Thaumaturge:
Influence and manipulate characters, carving your path in this world. Exercise caution, as each decision holds consequences that either restrain or feed your inner flaws such as pride, vehemence, or scheming. Give impactful responses through the choice-infused dialogue system.


Experience a Supernatural Twist on Combat:

Immerse yourself in turn-based encounters elevated by salutors, ethereal entities commanded by the thaumaturge. Employ your perception to predict and overtake enemy moves, and utilize salutors' unique abilities for strategic dominance. Drawing inspiration from Slavic folklore, these entities feature psychic strikes and manipulation, along with a wide array of upgrades that transform Wiktor’s skills in combat into an engaging dance of strength and strategy.


Explore the Rich Tapestry of Warsaw:
Crafted with Unreal Engine 5, The Thaumaturge features the intricacies of 1905 Warsaw, a city teeming with a fusion of Polish, Jewish, and Russian inhabitants. From opulent hotels to gritty Powiśle shacks, the meticulously researched historical setting forms a poignant backdrop for a meaningful narrative. Encounters with historical figures like Rasputin add an authentic layer to the supernatural adventure.
