### Discover the Exciting New PS Store Demo

Penned by developers Fool’s Theory and brought to life by publishers 11 Bit Studios, The Thaumaturge has just thrown open the doors to its demo. This RPG is more than just a game—it’s an experience, blending a rich isometric design with story-driven elements. Players will dive into turn-based combats and grapple with morally complex dialogue choices while solving mysteries on the twisting streets of 1905 Warsaw. At the heart of the narrative is Wiktor Szulski, who attempts to control mystical beings called salutors.

Take a sneak peek at The Thaumaturge trailer here!

Imagine it’s 1905. Warsaw is under the heavy hand of imperial Russian tsardom, its streets bustling with a mix of diverse peoples—Russian soldiers, Jewish merchants, Polish townsfolk—all chasing their own interests. It’s a city where you might find yourself swept into a dazzling society gala one moment, only to be lurking about the shady alleys of the Praga district the next. Hope and ambition seem woven into the very fabric of this city, but so too are shadows and desires.

Being a thaumaturge is both a blessing and a curse, something Wiktor Szulski, the focal character of the game, knows all too well. His journey back to the vibrant yet troubled Warsaw is spurred by family affairs. The art of thaumaturgy is a legacy from his forebears, and it carves his journey, leading him towards these unworldly entities and their hosts. With only a few able to tame these ethereal beings—known to the insider crowd as salutors—Wiktor has a unique insight into the inner turmoils that haunt individuals. Through his mystical abilities, he delves into the secrets hidden within souls, communicating in ways others can’t.

Some gaming enthusiasts might recognize Fool’s Theory. They’re currently in the buzz for working on The Witcher 1 remake and have lent their expertise as a support studio on hits like Baldur’s Gate and Divinity Original Sin 2.

Mark your calendars, as The Thaumaturge arrives on PS5 on December 4, 2024. It promises to be a ride you won’t want to miss.
