Thea: The Awakening - My Town of Bones

In Part 1 of their Thea: The Awakening diary, RPS focuses research on bones and examines the nature of children as commodities.

I have 5 bones, 77 meats and 6 children. Those are my villages resources. There’s a lot of other things, of course, but those are the most important. The children will one day grow into fully-fledged villagers but for now, they are marked as a resource, possibly stored in the same warehouse as the coal and vegetables. But it is their potential that keeps the rest of us going – the thought of a brighter future that makes life worth living in the town of Bilge Finger. I wonder what happens when you drag the children to this box?

“You are about to destroy 3 x Child. Are you sure?”



Thea: The Awakening is a lot better than I expected. It’s a not-quite-4X strategy survival game. The story begins by juggling all the fantasy tropes you can think of. There’s an omniscient evil imaginatively titled ‘the darkness’ and recognisable badness in the form of skeletons, goblins, demons, spiders and witches. But there’s also some Slavic twists on the genre – the Dziody are a crowd of old geezers who love to eat, and if you visit them bearing food they’ll cure any curses you’ve got lingering about your person.

Eww…

Was a fun game but after obtaining all the achievements; i needed something new to keep my interest. Unfortunately they are working on a new project (well not unfortunately but unfortunately for this game).

As a first release by MUHA, it's indeed not a bad game. Trouble is that by the end of the second playthrough (on a higher level or a different god) you've experienced all that there's to experience and there 's a little point in playing any further. Also the card combat is wonki but it can be skipped.
I was hoping for an expansion or some DLCs but no joy so far. Still, I'm looking forward to T:TA 2 if there ever be one.

They have an interest in T:TA 2 but I think they are working on something else first so it will be a while….

I was a great surprise, one of the funnest games I played last year until it wasn't.

I wouldn't have that problem, I never replay RPGs
