Project Thea

Project Thea is a dark, strategy-survival RPG blending retro-futuristic urban fantasy with Slavic folklore. Rebuild your colony, explore the post-apocalyptic wasteland, and engage in tactical, card-based combat. Immerse yourself in a story-rich adventure with branching narratives, playable solo or in a two-player co-op.

  • Survive and Explore: Venture into a dangerous, hex-based post-apocalyptic wasteland to gather resources, uncover Points of Interest, and face unexpected narrative events. The further you go, the greater the risks and rewards.
  • Develop Your Hero and Party: Create and customize your hero's heritage, class, appearance, and abilities. Recruit and lead a diverse party of NPCs, each with unique skills and stories, to face the challenges ahead.
  • Card-Based Combat and Challenges: Engage in tactical, turn-based card battles against enemies or solve non-combat skill challenges using your party's unique deck and modifiers.
  • Colony Management: Protect and expand your colony, Project Ostoya. Gather resources, unlock new buildings with STLs (Sigil-Transfer Lattices), and deliver energy shards to keep the generator running. Balance survival with growth to ensure the future of your people.
  • Slavic Mythology Meets Urban Fantasy: Encounter reimagined folklore creatures like the Striga, Leshy, and Poludnica. Navigate a world where magic, technology, and Slavic myths collide in unexpected ways.
  • Single-Player or 2-Player Co-op: Face the challenges of Thea alone or team up with a friend in cooperative gameplay to share the journey and strategize together.
