Why Project Thea?

  By

In this dev diary, we’ll talk a little more about how Project Thea came to life, why it’s not Thea 3, and why we chose to go down the path of a spin-off. We’ll also explore some key differences and similarities between Project Thea and the previous Thea games.

The Inception

We began thinking about our own, new project a few years ago. As always, it all started with casual chats about where we wanted to go next. The initial idea was for a smaller game—a quick project. At the time, we knew almost immediately that it would be tied to Thea; it just felt like the right time to return to our roots. But, since we wanted a smaller scope and the opportunity to try new things that deviated from Thea, we also knew it wouldn’t be a direct continuation but rather a spin-off.

The genre, as always with our games, was the more complex part. We knew it was going to be story-rich. We knew we wanted to keep the survival tone with post-apocalyptic themes. We also had a clear idea that there would once again be a single settlement struggling to survive against the world’s difficulties. And, of course, the card battles—by now, we feel they’re our signature feature.

Project Thea Begins

  By

While this isn’t the big reveal—that’s coming next month—it’s what I’d call a soft reveal, a nod to our loyal fans who deserve the first look at what we’re building.

First, the title: Project Thea. After much debate, we settled on a name that bridges the past and future. While this game takes bold steps away from the original Thea series, it remains deeply rooted in its world’s rich history and dark lore—a fresh start that honors its legacy.

In this first dev blog, I’ll give an overview of the game, so those outside our awesome Discord community (join us by clicking the icon on top of the page!) can catch up on what we’ve been working on.

The Genre

As always with Thea, this is a problematic topic to pin down! But here it goes, our short description – A dark strategy-survival RPG blending retro-futuristic urban fantasy with Slavic folklore. Rebuild your colony, explore the wastelands and engage in strategic card-based combat in this story-rich, roguelite adventure. Featuring branching narratives, character progression, single player or co-op for 2 players.

The Story

You awaken from magi-cryo sleep to a world in ruins. They call you one of the Alloy Twins, but your memories are shattered. Who is this twin of yours, and why do you not remember them? How did you end up in the cryo-pod? One thing is clear—the colony’s generator is failing, and you’re one of the few capable of retrieving the energy shards to keep it alive. Failure is not an option.

As you journey through this retro-futuristic urban-fantasy world, your choices will shape the story. From reimagined Slavic folklore creatures like Baba Yaga—now an entrepreneur running an ice cream van—to the Tooth Fairy pivoting to dentistry, and Woj-Tec 001, the cybernetic bear founder of UBear courier services, Project Thea is a world brimming with danger, humor, and mystery.

Your story is just beginning. Are you ready to uncover the secrets of Thea?

Secret Project Underway…

  By

This post will be short and sweet, but our page was looking sad and empty and some folks could think we’re gone or something!

After the great work on MoM, we had no time to rest, as well, you know how it goes, no rest for the wicked! We are very much alive and well and working hard on a secret, secret project that we hope to reveal this year.

We can spill a few beans here to keep your appetites going. Our new game is going to be set in the universe of Thea, but with a twist. This new adventure is set centuries in the world’s future, an urban, post-apocalyptic world that will once more throw you into the many mysteries of the Slavic inspired myth and folklore.

An urban version of a czort, they’ve of course become lawyers now…
A fan favourite also returns, the Rusalka, looking all modern and ready to kick some butts when drowning fails…
