Hello everyone,
We couldn't be more excited to introduce the latest Patch 1.1 for The Thaumaturge which, among other things, adds one of the most requested features - a full Polish dubbing!
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.
