If your knowledge of Polish is limited to famous swear words but you’re curious to learn more, then Fool’s Theory and 11 bit studios have a pleasant announcement. As of today, the Polish voice-over is available in The Thaumaturge, a narrative RPG unfolding in 1905 Warsaw.
In the early 20th century, Warsaw was partitioned by invaders who tried to remove the Polish language from all walks of life including schools. This quest ultimately failed thanks to the brave spirit of Poland and its people, and the dev team decided to honor this resilience with the new voice-over. Polish V/O has also been one of the most requested community add-ons since launch.
To maintain the Slavic flavor of The Thaumaturge’s narrative, Polish voice actors recorded the English dialogues, and the same actors have reprised their roles for the Polish dub of the game. With writing taking full advantage of the realities of the Warsaw setting, using the period vocabulary and expressions that are no longer in today’s everyday speech, The Thaumaturge with Polish voice-over gives its players an even more immersive and true-to-life experience.
The Thaumaturge is an isometric RPG that blends a gripping narrative with morally ambiguous choices and a meaningful theme. Crafted by Fool’s Theory and published by 11 bit studios, it puts players in the haunted shoes of Wiktor Szulski, a gifted yet tormented thaumaturge, as he traverses the complex tapestry of early 20th-century Warsaw.
The Thaumaturge is available on Steam, with a console version releasing later this year. To celebrate today’s release of the Polish voice-over patch, the game is currently discounted by 25 percent on Steam.
