Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As with all our previous independent titles, we believe the input of our community is invaluable in shaping our final product.

While Playtest provides some semblance of that, we’ve always found Early Access to be far more robust in terms of the feedback it generates. After all, once someone pays for your game, they both expect and deserve for it to be at its best – and that kind of pressure makes us work at our best too.

And then, of course, there’s the purely practical side – Early Access will provide us with the resources to continue development and, hopefully, to grow it further.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We’re planning for a period of around six months to a year. Of course, nothing is ever certain, but this timeline has worked well for our past titles, so we hope to stay within that estimate.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to include additional content, improved gameplay systems, and expanded features based on player feedback. A two-player co-op mode is intended to be one of the key additions, alongside new story arcs and missions. Core mechanics, balance, and progression are planned to be refined and expanded throughout development.

These are just some of the planned additions – others will emerge directly from player feedback as development continues.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the core gameplay loop - exploration, colony management, and tactical card combat - but many systems are still being refined. It already offers hours of content to explore, though balance, pacing, and quality-of-life features remain a work in progress. We plan to keep expanding and improving the experience with the help of player feedback. Please refer to the ‘About This Game’ section for the full feature list.
”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to increase the final price slightly after Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We have an in-game bug report function that’s reviewed daily. We’ll also remain active here on Steam and on our Discord channel, where our community is lively and the devs hang out regularly - so you can leave feedback or just chat with us directly.

We take all feedback seriously and do our best to weigh it against our design goals and capabilities, implementing changes and new ideas whenever possible.”

About This Game

 

A dark turn-based strategy-survival RPG blending retro-futuristic urban fantasy with Slavic folklore. Customise your characters’ gender, class, and race, and recruit NPC allies to explore the wastelands, rebuild your colony, and engage in tactical card-based combat. Featuring branching narratives and character progression, where every choice shapes your survival and the fate of humanity in this story-rich roguelite adventure.

  • Survive and Explore a Story-Rich Post-Apocalytic World. Uncover the secrets of Thea through rich storytelling, engaging quests, and diverse points of interest.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This game contains mature themes and situations intended for adult audiences.

Project Thea portrays a harsh, post-apocalyptic world where humanity struggles to survive after the fall of civilisation. While there is no graphic or explicit imagery, the story includes implied depictions and references to:

- Human trafficking, slavery, and exploitation

- Cannibalism and survival-driven moral compromise

- Violence and death, including violence against minors

- Coarse or suggestive language

- Implied sexual activity through dialogue or lore

- Themes of trauma, despair, and moral corruption

These elements appear within a narrative and atmospheric context, supporting the tone and realism of a world shaped by loss, decay, and survival. Player discretion is advised.
