Set in early 20th century Poland, The Thaumaturge explores supernatural and social themes as players take on the role of Wiktor Szulski, a powerful Thaumaturge in contact with demonic spirits, who seeks to find answers surrounding the mystery of his father's death. While much of the game is centered around high-quality narrative and writing, there is also a fun, turn-based combat system that enables players to see the extent of Wiktor's powers.
