Interview by Matt S.
Of the many, many indie games out there, one of those that really stands out as something that might have been overlooked by a lot of people that would otherwise love it is Thea: The Awakening. Superficially it looks like Civilization, but then you start playing, and it is something different on every level.
Thea is closer to an RPG than it is a strategy game. There are many narrative arcs to follow, many heavily inspired by the unique (and to many of us, exotic) Slavic mythology and fantasy. The game's combat system is unique, too. It's based on card play, and is vaguely similar to the mechanics that underpin many trading card game (TCGs) out there. And then there's some light strategy and city building elements, just like in Civilization.
I had the opportunity to have a brief chat with Mila 'Yuuki' Irek, the lead quest designer and writer of Thea, from MuHa Games, about the challenges in getting the good word out about a game this distinctive, and where the inspiration for Thea came from.
