The Thaumaturge, an isometric RPG about occultists summoning spirit beings in 1905 Warsaw, has been delayed into March—not because it needs more development time, but because February is just too damn crowded already. Fool’s Theory, the studio making The Thaumaturge, has some fairly deep RPG roots. It’s headed up by former Witcher 2 and 3…
