Games Description
Pathologic is a unique type of adventure game designed
to affect the emotional and psychological state of
the player in a way that no other PC game has achieved.
The story begins in a place called the Ancient Steppewhen
a strange town appears from nowhere. Seeming to be
a small drover settlement , the mysterious, isolated
establishment has managed to survive for several generations.
It could have continued to grow, were it not for a
sudden outbreak of some kind of lethal disease, which
begins to mercilessly slaughter the denizens inhabiting
the area. Even science has proven helpless in finding
a cure, or at least providing some explanation.
Three outsiders arrive at the contaminated town.
The first is a highly-educated Bachelor with a ruthless
manner of investigation, assigned by the provincial
authorities. The second is a far-sighted Ripper with
a reputation as an ingenious surgeon, in search of
his father’s terrible heritage. The last character
is an eccentric girl, possessing mystic healing abilities,
that could become the town’s heavenly salvation
were it not for fresh memory of the horrors of her
recent past…
Each of them must survive in this hell and play a
vital role in the fate of the town… one of them
could be you.
The atmosphere of the game reproduces the tense feeling
of danger at every turn. You’ll witness dreadful
images of city in agony, incessant death of the infected
and the dramatic tragedies of the doomed people.
