The Thaumaturge is a story-driven RPG with morally ambiguous choices, taking place in the culturally diverse world of early 20th-century Warsaw. In this world, salutors exist: esoteric beings that only thaumaturges can truly perceive and use for their needs.
Players step into the shoes of Wiktor Szulski, a supernatural detective who perceives mystical entities called salutors. The game weaves investigation, dialogue, and strategic combat into a rich narrative tapestry.
Strategic turn-based battles blend human attacks with supernatural salutor skills. Players unlock four primary skills, customizing them with upgradeable effects like damage amplification and status debuffs. Salutors specialize in specific combat roles: some excel at breaking enemy focus, others generate devastating finishing moves. Tactical depth emerges from combining different salutor abilities strategically. Difficulty ranges from accessible to moderately challenging.
