Short description
Thistlemine is a puzzle RPG that tells a story about the work that takes place within an Anomalis Exclusion Zone – a hostile environment where space and time are warped, and the thick miasma suffocates those trapped within.
About this game
ABOUT THE GAME Thistlemine is a puzzle exploration RPG. You play as Noa, a low-ranking excavator, whose task is to navigate and clear out an Exclusion Zone. The Miasma emitting from the Exclusion Zone is causing distortions in time and space, while simultaneously suffocating and mutating what little life remains in the region. Rumours of a powerful artifact have attracted many souls to its location. Not one has returned.

Potential allies can be recruited into the party, or killed where they stand. The choice is yours. THE ANOMALIS Exclusion Zones are home to Miasma lifeforms known as Anomalis. They've taken the likeness of plants and flowers in this region. During combat, Anomalis produce varying amounts of Miasma, limiting the amount of turns you have in any given battle. Combined with a diverse arsenal of lethal abilities and overwhelming numbers, defeating them is no easy task. There are over 40 unique encounters, many with multiple phases and subroute variations, all demanding a different st…
