The Thaumaturge is a Morally-Complex New UE5 RPG from The Witcher Remake Developers

wccftech.com:

Fans of morally-complex CRPGs have something new to put on their radar, as developer Fool’s Theory (Seven: The Days Long Gone) has officially announced its next project. Previously teased under the name “Project Vitriol,” the Unreal-Engine-5 powered isometric RPG has now been fully unveiled with the somewhat unwieldy title The Thaumaturge.

Set in a realistically-rendered early-20th-century Warsaw, Fool’s Theory is promising The Thaumaturge will deliver complex roleplaying, in a deeply-researched historically-accurate world (well, aside from all the magical stuff going on). The player will take on the role of a Thaumaturge, individuals trained to detect and tame Salutors – dark beings that can control people’s minds. All sounds a bit Witcher-ey, doesn’t it? You can check out the first teaser trailer for The Thaumaturge, below.

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
