Stop us if you've heard this one before, but indie game developer Fool's Theory and publisher 11 Bit Studios have pushed back the release of The Thaumaturge. Back in November, the team announced they were pushing the game to February 2024, as it was set to be released next week. This afternoon, however, they announced that they have decided to delay the game's release by a few extra weeks so it isn't crammed in the hectic February release schedule. The game is apparently finished; no extra work needs to be done. They just decided that March 4, 2024, would be a better date. So those of you waiting for it will have to wait a little longer.

The Thaumaturge

The year is 1905. Warsaw lives under the yoke of imperial Russian tsardom. Its inhabitants constitute a diverse group of different ancestries, views, and beliefs with often conflicting interests: Russian soldiers, Jewish merchants, Polish townspeople, and more. Despite the circumstances, the city is a buzzing metropolis, where one can attend a breathtaking party with the high society, and later get robbed in one of the dark alleys of the Praga district. A city of great hopes and dreams on one hand and dark desires on the other. In this world, a force that cannot be ignored are Thaumaturges – individuals versed in taming spirit-like beings called Salutors, used for manipulation of the temperaments and affinities of other people and even ultimately in combat. The devil is in the detail – only Thaumaturges are fully aware of the Salutors' nature and only they can perceive them in their true essence. Their capability to influence others significantly and demonstrably increases their ability to change the surrounding world – however, Thaumaturgy is a power that should be used with caution.
