The Thaumaturge

About the game

In this single-player role-playing game, Wiktor Szulski is a thaumaturge whose gift lets him read the emotions, desires and secrets of other people. His pride is a flaw that those same powers feed, and it can open opportunities or cause negative consequences. The setting is a multicultural Warsaw of the early 20th century, where the cast includes the monk Rasputin and Tsar Nicholas II alongside figures from Wiktor's troubled past, such as his well-versed sister Ligia and Abaurcy, a childhood friend who turned to crime. Perception lets the hero uncover personal secrets hidden in objects and see seemingly obvious events from another angle, which serves detective work, social maneuvering and dealings with the criminal underground. Summoned salutors, folklore-inspired demons of the ethereal realm, provide the hero's power: they manipulate enemies, sway allies and take part in turn-based tactical battles against opponents both physical and elusive.
