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?

Enter the Dragon

This is a very busy week for everyone here, but also a very exciting one! In a little more than a week part of our team is going to Krakow in Poland to show off Thea: The Awakening on Digital Dragons! We want to give you a taste of the game by allowing you to play an early demo version. So we’re fixing various issues, squashing bugs (at least the most obvious and annoying ones we manage to catch on time) and generally trying to get the game to a stable, playable state. Of course, there will still be inaccessible menus, placeholder description texts and other problems, but such is the beauty of an alpha version. So – if you’re planning to go to Digital Dragons in Krakow between 21-22 May – make sure you find us in Hall A. There’s something we wanted to announce there too!

But the event and game demo are not the only things that occupy us – we’re in the middle of our Kickstarter campaign! Nice rewards await for our backers, so if you’d like an exclusive T-Shirt, an artbook with bestiary or a button pin for your collection – please support our project. We’re already reached 20% of our goal with your help, so thanks to all who believe in us!
