About
A hero with a flaw
Wiktor Szulski is a thaumaturge, a master of mystical arts, who can peer into the hearts and minds of others, uncovering their deepest emotions, desires, and secrets. However, his powers also feed into his flaw of pride, which can present him with various opportunities or lead to negative consequences.
Untold mysteries waiting to be revealed
No secret or intrigue is safe when the thaumaturge is around. Your unique abilities will give you a great edge in solving detective investigations, becoming a savvy socialite or even dealing with the criminal underground. Explore the world using Wiktor’s perception, seeking personal secrets hidden in objects, that provide different perspectives on events that may seem obvious at first glance.
Taming mythical creatures
As a thaumaturge, you draw your power from the ability to summon salutors – mystical, folklore-inspired demons that inhabit the ethereal realm. Use their powers to manipulate your foes, sway the minds of allies, and fight opponents in turn-based tactical combat.
Unique turn-based combat
Engage in deep, tactical combat against various opponents – some physical, others more elusive. Wiktor's thaumaturgical abilities let you bend the rules of reality, summoning demons to unleash powerful attacks or gain strategic advantages.
A rich gallery of characters
The early 20th-century Warsaw is a multicultural metropolis with inhabitants from all walks of life. Among them, you’ll meet historical figures like the monk Rasputin or Tsar Nicholas II. The story also introduces you to a gallery of characters connected to Wiktor’s troubled past such as his well-versed sister Ligia or Abaurcy, a childhood friend who turned to a life of crime.

La verdad es que merece que le des una oportunidad, es bastante novedoso a su manera, si te gusto Disco Elysium salvando las distancias obviamente pues este te va a gustar. Super recomendado.

Ambientación inmersiva, con una historia atractiva y "gótica". Aunque se note mucho el enfoque lineal en el juego y los combates se sienten de relleno, ha sido una experiencia de rol narrativa muy agradable
Lot of fun, interesting story, worldbuilding, magic system, and characters. Very much love being able to switch on the Polish dialogue with English subtitles, too.
An Atmospheric Hidden Gem For me, The Thaumaturge is a true hidden gem that masterfully brings 1905 Warsaw to life. What fascinates me most is how flawlessly it captures the gritty atmosphere of an era on the brink of a worker revolution. The game brilliantly balances the realistic, harsh social problems of the time with its unique supernatural lore. The entire spectrum of the Salutores feels deeply integrated - acting as dark, psychological mirrors to human trauma and folklore rather than just a gameplay gimmick. By weaving authentic historical oppression together with the heavy mystical burden of thaumaturgy, it delivers a uniquely compelling experience that deserves far more spotlight.
优点：游戏中华沙的氛围营造不错，文本量大。剧情还行，回合制玩法上手简单。 缺点：探图全靠一双腿，想全收集响指要打个不停。剧情实际能玩的支线较少，很多都是浅尝辄止，收集完文件就去集邮了。战斗方面重复颇高。
中文汉化翻译优秀，能让我玩下去
i really like the atmosphere and the salutors ideas and design and the historical events and characters but the right clicking all the time and collect the readables in the game to level up wasn't so great and the optimization wasn't the best but overall it was fun to the point i finish it in a day and half XD
Absolut empfehlenswertes Spiel! Die Story ist zunächst verwirrend, aber nach ein paar Stunden habe ich gut reingefunden in das Warschau Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts. Das Gameplay ist eher entspannt, mit rundenbasierten Kämpfen und vorbestimmten Wegen zu den Quest-Zielen. Die Grafik ist sehr gut und passend zur Story. Einzige Kritik: etwas kurz, ich war nach 15 Stunden durch, habe aber auch nur wenige Nebenquests abgeschlossenn. Ich werde wahrscheinlich noch einmal neu starten, da es diverse verschiedene Enden gibt. Klare Kaufempfehlung, speziell wenn das Game im Sale ist .
Gra z o dziwo malą ilością gameplayu. Ale fabularnie jak fajna książka, lekkie fantasy w Warszawie 1905. Miasto przemyslane, szukanie autentycznych budynków wraz z ilustracjami. No co tu duzo pisać. Kupilem w cenie książki i jestem zadowolony. Taki przerywnik nie wymagający wysilku pomiędzy innymi tytulami.
