00:11 The Thaumaturge takes place in the early 20th century Warsaw,
00:15 where different cultures and religions intertwine with each other.
00:19 Apart from humans, the world is also inhabited by saluters,
00:23 esoteric beings that only Thaumaturges can truly perceive and use for their needs.
00:28 Meet Wiktor Szulczki, a man who returns to Warsaw after 15 years of absence.
00:36 During that time, he travelled across the world honing his Thaumaturgical skills,
00:41 a quest that nearly drove him to insanity.
00:45 Now, dire circumstances force Wiktor to face his family legacy once more.
00:52 The beginning of the 20th century is a time of great political upheaval.
00:58 Citizens of Warsaw demand freedom for their nation, social justice and women's political rights.
01:04 During the game, we'll often find ourselves in the center of these struggles,
01:08 meeting some famous historical figures like Tsar Nicholas II or Rasputin.
01:14 Wiktor is a Thaumaturge.
01:18 This mysterious art involves searching for the saluters,
01:22 otherworldly beings that prey on human weaknesses and fears.
01:27 Only the Thaumaturges can see through the thin veil of reality into the dark world,
01:32 where saluters hide.
01:35 The gift of Thaumaturgy has run in the Szulczki family for generations.
01:39 Wiktor inherited it from his father, but that has not brought them closer together.
01:45 For years, only Wiktor's twin sister Ligia tried to keep the family together,
01:50 despite animosity between her father and brother, two ambitious and proud Thaumaturges.
01:59 The pursuit of elusive and mysterious saluters is a challenging occupation,
02:04 posing risks to a Thaumaturge's physical and mental well-being.
02:09 However, it also comes with certain benefits.
02:12 Once tamed, saluters can improve Wiktor's skills,
02:16 such as his perception of surroundings or the level of influence he has on people.
02:23 The exceptional bond that connects a Thaumaturge with his saluters
02:27 can be seen within Wiktor's skill progression.
02:30 New Thaumaturgy points can be allocated ad hoc, even directly before a fight,
02:36 giving Wiktor a chance to improve his skills.
02:40 Like every specialist in his craft, Wiktor sees reality differently.
02:44 Each time other people use a particular item,
02:47 some of their emotions and memories remain attached to it.
02:51 Thaumaturges are experts in unveiling these hidden trails,
02:55 thus becoming unmatched in investigative work.
02:59 Skills of the Thaumaturge can prove especially useful during fights.
03:04 Apart from physical attacks, Wiktor can also use his saluters' abilities
03:09 to influence an enemy's focus, heal himself,
03:13 or gain a chance at executing stronger, spectacular attacks.
03:19 The story of the Thaumaturge is far from set in stone.
03:23 For example, will Wiktor be ruthless or diplomatic?
03:28 Will he become a powerful Thaumaturge,
03:30 or maybe choose his family and close ones over consuming pride?
03:34 These and many other choices are yours to make.
03:39 The Thaumaturge setting is deeply rooted in Eastern European history.
03:44 Most of the saluters you'll meet are inspired by local legends.
03:48 The same goes for the game's story, visuals, and music,
03:52 which all bear strong connections to Slavic folklore and sense of humor.
