The Thaumaturge, a brand new spooky CRPG with Pokemon-like collectible creatures that I will never fail to misspell on my first try, is getting rave reviews on Steam after a successful Steam Next Fest demo.
We liked The Thaumaturge's Steam Next Fest demo so much we called it a "must play," and now that it's fully out on PC, Steam users seem to largely agree. The premise is, well, it's a little all over the place. It's a fairly traditional isometric story-driven CRPG with turn-based battles and "morally ambiguous" choices that'll challenge your sense of right and wrong and lead you down various narrative paths and toward one of several endings. It also a mystery game where you explore an alternate history early 20th century Warsaw as an investigator with the ability to manipulate the temperaments of other characters. It is also horror Pokemon.
