Thaumaturge, P.I.

School shenanigans, curious capers, and magical mishaps await in Thaumaturge, P.I.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Blackmire House of Magical Disciplines is a prestigious school for young mages. The sprawling grounds and endless halls have long held secrets and treasures.

With all the unusual happenings going on at the school, it’s no surprise extracurricular detective agencies have cropped up, from clubs dating back to the school’s founding to much newer enterprises. Yours is one of the newest, but quickly making a name for itself:

Quick, Unrelenting, Efficient, Enigma Resolvers, or Q.U.E.E.R.

Thaumaturge, P.I. is a solo journaling game. You play the game by yourself, writing down the answers to the questions posed and your actions as you investigate the mystery. You are in control of where the story goes - you interpret the prompts.
