The Alters isn't out yet. Expected release Q1 2025. It's on my wish list because I love the demo.
Indika they were just the publisher. On top of which, maybe has a story that not everyone is interested in. I watched these guys play it, https://youtu.be/MuiHtAYOqgI and while it's creative and it's overall a fantastic game, is not one I'm going to play myself.
The Thaumaturge, again they are just the publisher. I hadn't even heard of this one which means as the publisher they did a terrible job marketing it.
Thank you for the correction. The alters is indeed not out yet.
In my opinion for the other I doesn't matter whether they are just publishing or actually developing. The games are not bar but apparently don't sell well. Maybe their not the greatest at marketing but I enjoy the vibes they are going for
