Pathologic (Video Game)	comment	A 2005 game, the debut of the small Russian indie game developer Ice-Pick Lodge. As for its genre... uh... Well, for simplicity's sake, let's just call it a First-Person Psychological Survival Horror Adventure Game with some light RPG Elements — although that description might not entirely do the game justice.Pathologic (or "Мор. Утопия" (lit: "Plague. Utopia") in the original Russian) is set in a town in the middle of nowhere which is beset by a strange disease. The game follows one of three "healers" who have come to the town for their own reasons, and all have drastically different methods. Just as they arrive, an epidemic starts and the town is quarantined. At that point, the game puts you in control and gives you 12 in-game days to perform quests and protect yourself and others from the disease via some very dubious methods.The first storyline is that of a young Bachelor of Medicine, Daniil Dankovsky. He was invited to the town to scientifically establish that one of the residents is over two hundred years old. However, the man dies before he gets a chance to meet with him — not of old age, but by the hands of an unknown culprit. He takes it upon himself to investigate the old man's death and find his murderer, but as he does so, he also uncovers evidence of the brewing epidemic. Following this, Dankovsky finds himself strong-armed by the local aristocrats into using his skills and equipment to research the plague, and he quickly becomes buried in their intrigues.The second storyline is that of a Haruspex, Artemy Burakh (pronounced "ahr-TYEH-mee BOO-rakh", with the "kh" sound like the "ch" in Bach or loch). He is one of very few people allowed the knowledge and right to cut open dead human bodies. His father shared his profession and lived in the town, but died recently, and he called on his son to take his place. However, people believe that he killed his father, so everyone is hostile to him. Burakh must covertly investigate the cause of the plague, as he tends to attract violent mobs whenever he moves out in the open.The third storyline is that of Clara, the Changeling with an unclear past. Many believe she is either a saint or a steppe demon who brought the plague in the first place. She is able to either heal a person or utterly destroy them with a gesture of her hands. Stranded without her memories, she nevertheless performs her deeds in the certainty they will benefit something.There are three main dynasties in the game, all in some way fighting against each other for the control of the town. Other than them, there are loads and loads of other characters, all somehow related to the story.The game received many good reviews praising its atmosphere and picked up dozens of awards in its native country. Sadly, the English translation was, on release, absolutely incomprehensible. This — coupled with the developer being practically unknown outside Russia — resulted in poor sales. This game is not for everyone, and there is a lot to take in in order to master its brutally complex and extremely punishing mechanics. And even when the player think they have mastered them, the game is always ready to throw them a really nasty curveball or five. It is, however, a very powerful, emotionally draining experience, and not to be missed.A remaster — Pathologic Classic HD, featuring improved textures, new voice acting and (most importantly) a revised script was released on Gog.com and Steam on October 29th, 2015.Ice-Pick Lodge also created a Kickstarter campaign to create a successor of this game in September 2014. This game is known as Pathologic 2, although it is not a plot sequel, instead retelling the original's story with more content and mechanics, as well as more polished graphics. It is frequently referred to as a "remake", but the developers came to reject this label, instead likening it to how games like Silent Hill 2 and Dark Souls 2 revisit and experiment with the concepts introduced in their predecessors. The initial build, released on May 23 2019, only contains the Haruspex's story; the stories of the Bachelor and Changeling are coming later.

Pathologic (Video Game) / int_12d9447	comment	Another Side, Another Story: All three main characters have their own agenda. Interestingly, the Bachelor and Haruspex routes roughly coincide with each other in terms of what happens, while the Changeling route assumes both other characters are going through their worst outcomes; leading to Daniil and Artemy trying to murder each other near the end. Each route also allies your character with a different family, meaning characters who are friendly to one character will be outright hostile to the others.

Your character will generally be confused by the conversation, as a lot of their comments are obvious or fourth wall breaking ("Play? What are you talking about, Masked Man? I'm neither a gambler or an actor."). At the end of the game, they drop the pretension, asking whether they are talking to the Character or the Player, and explain the meta plot of the game - including apologies for the aspects that were limited by time and budget.

Pathologic (Video Game) / int_1527d90d	comment	Early Game Hell: While the game is pretty hellish all throughout, it's the Haruspex who has the most nightmarish time right out the gate. His campaign begins with him at low health, high hunger, and with reputation so abysmally low that nearly everyone will outright attack him in the street. It takes a lot of hiding, running, and creative scavenging just to get through the first day alive. Then just when you think you have a chance to breathe, the second day begins with the price of food skyrocketing. One of the main methods of obtaining resources and one of the two main methods of restoring your reputation, hunting down Muggers, Arsonists and Looters isn't avaliable for the inital days, same with giving medicine to dying infected, the other main method of restoring reputation.

In any case, the Kain family acts as spiritual leaders, the Saburov family dispenses local justice, and the Olgimskiys are merchants.

Pathologic (Video Game) / int_1da01dce	comment	The Computer Is a Lying Bastard: Many of the food items have descriptions that imply that there is a chance for these items to be infected with plague, or imply that they need to be cooked to be safe to eat. There is no cooking mechanic in the game, nor can food make you sick. Unlike most examples of this trope, however, this was most likely done intentionally to make the player paranoid about when and what they eat in the absence of tangible mechanics for it; and the developers have stated their intention to make certain foods able to become infected in the remake. Similarly, Executors will warn you that giving shmowder to an infected character is going to cripple them for life, due to its harmful effects, and will ask if you are really sure about using this solution. But while taking shmowders will indeed drop your health to 5% (nothing that some sleep can't solve though), there's no difference between shmowders and panaceas when it comes to infected NPCs.

Pathologic (Video Game) / int_1ff3b1d6	comment	Harmful Healing: The children's powder is one of the very few ways to reduce your infection level, but it takes a lot of health (around 90%). Considering what it's made of, it's a miracle it can do even that much good. There's "harmful buffing" as well, of sorts - many medicines that boost your immunity have an adverse effect on your health and exhaustion as well, though not nearly to the extent of the powder. Though the powder is perhaps the most prominent example, due to the game's multiple survival meters, this happens for most healing items. Usually, something that restores one bar will reduce the other — for example, eating lemons will decrease exhaustion and increase immunity, but it'll also increase your hunger. Painkillers will allow you to gradually regenerate health, but greatly increase exhaustion. And so on...

Complicating the matter, she is a proud woman who dances around the point whenever directly asked, and lies a lot besides; making the ambiguity deeper and more frustrating.

Pathologic (Video Game) / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew/Culture Chop Suey: The world of the game bears resemblance to a typical Siberian outpost city of Tsarist Russia, circa the World War I period. But there are several much more modern elements present, especially in terms of clothing and medicine. This is not to mention the many Low Fantasy elements, the strange, timeless atmosphere and the fact that about a third of the characters have decidedly non-Russian names. Further, the Steppe culture is similar to that of native Siberians, Mongolians and Buryats. Essentially, the setting itself is as enigmatic as the cause of the disease and the backstories of the various characters. This is apparently evident In-Universe: Aglaya and Burakh both refer to the town as being a combination of different eras of human history (as an argument for its preservation, of course).

Artemy starts the game wounded, weaponless and with a very low reputation (due to the accusation of being his father's killer). His first and extremely pressing challenge is basically restoring his reputation to the point where he won't be attacked on sight by the City Guards. Dankovsky, outside of the town, is condemned and persecuted for his unethical experiments by authorities, press and his personal enemies among other scientists. The town's inhabitants are superstitiously wary of his comparatively modern methods. Clara is mysterious, has unclear origins, and must contend with extremely bizarre rumors about her nature and actions.

Pathologic (Video Game) / int_586624e5	comment	Genius Loci: Due to the archaic farming methods of this centuries-old community, all of the waste material (blood, viscera, and so on) from the abattoir is dumped into a single pit. Over time, the reservoir of blood beneath the town has transformed it into a sort of earth-cow. The town map hints at this, both in the shape of the town (bull curled in a fetal position) and the districts themselves, which are named after and apply to the parts of an animal. The appearance of the Polyhedron caused a great, gaping wound in the 'head' of the map, which is the source of the infection.

The former is present throughout much of the gameplay: despite being healers, the three playable characters have to cause a lot of death, and their morals (and general well-being) decay along with those of the town's inhabitants. The latter is especially prevalent in the Multiple Endings — there is no truly "perfect" or "good" ending. All three of them are trades that require the sacrifice of one thing to save another. You have to decide for yourself which one is most suited to you.

No problem — you'll still be able to walk, aim, and fight exactly as well as when you're at 100% health. This wouldn't normally be that notable if it wasn't for the game's otherwise strict adherence to realism. Somewhat averted with the exhaustion and hunger meters: though you won't feel any adverse effects from them until they reach 100%, once they do, your health will begin to drop instead. Completely averted with the infection meter, though: the higher it gets, the faster it'll rise, the quicker you'll lose health, and the more disorienting the Interface Screw will be every subsequent time you're infected. Averted with weapon durability as well. Melee weapons will get weaker with less durability, and ranged weapons will become less accurate.

Oftentimes, homes that appear small are instead very large when entered, while homes that appear large, opulent, and multi-storied are instead small single-storied rooms. While part of this might simply be a limitation of the game engine, it leads the player to feel consistently unsettled, as you're never exactly sure what's going to be inside.

Pathologic (Video Game) / int_8e20979	comment	Wham Episode: Day 6 in the Bachelor's scenario. Up until that point, things have actually been going surprisingly well — you've managed to set up a hospital and isolation ward, and your fellow scientist Rubin has even managed to isolate a vaccine (albeit at a cost). But then everything starts going to pieces. Firstly, Rubin has a My God, What Have I Done? moment because of yesterday's events, and turns himself into the authorities. It's possible that he will be executed, leaving you on your own in the battle against The Plague. Secondly, a plague carrier somehow managed to infiltrate the hospital you set up, killing hundreds of people. The town is now degrading into madness and hysteria trying to hunt town the perpetrator, whom they suspect to be a demonic witch. Thirdly, Saburov has gone mad with power — power you gave him yourself. He's now arresting people with wild abandon and on little basis. If you don't pay their excruciatingly exorbitant bail by midnight, the Inquisitor will almost certainly hang them. Fourthly, a mob of arsonists is trying to burn down the Apiary because they believe it's the source of the plague. Even Vlad Senior, the overseer of the place, doesn't seem very concerned about this — and he later reveals that the infection has indeed found its way into the Apiary. To top it all off, the Inquisitor and their forces are poised to arrive the next day, and if you can't stop the disease by then, they are likely to take the reins themselves and destroy the plague at any cost. Probably not coincidentally, this is the point where the red-brown angels of death start appearing in the infected districts.

The same is true with the Powers That Be, who created the entire scenario as a way of processing their own grief of losing someone to the very same Plague, adding to the ultimately Mind Screw like nature of the game. On top of that, the game also implies that the 'game' is real, leaving players unsure of what exactly just happened. There are a few other details that tie into this as well. The name of the Sand Pest/Plague and the presence of the Worms? The children are playing outside in a sandbox. The fact that all of the generic townspeople are represented with the portrait of a rag doll? The children have to reuse a few of their toys for different roles.

While this title is mentioned a couple of times in the manual fluff, the Ancient Steppe is simply the name of the surrounding steppe region. 'Cause... you know... it's a steppe. Sometimes it is also just called "The Town" or, in Russian, "Город"(Gorod). It's also often referred to as "Town-On-Gorkhon" ("Город-на-Горхоне" Gorod-Na-Gorkhonye) (The Gorkhon being the main river that runs through the town.)

In the Haruspex scenario, while other options are available, murdering the girl is the most pragmatic solution, as other candidates are heavily guarded. The Changeling calls to the aid of an Earth spirit — which can be murdered in the Bachelor's scenario, to the Changeling's horror. The Bachelor and the Haruspex deal with Quarantine being broken. The Changeling breaks quarantine in order to prevent visions from two of the prophetesses from coming true. The Haruspex learns of an all important Auroch that is injured in town, with the people flocking towards it as some sort of omen, and immediately attempts to rescue it. The Bachelor has it incinerated as a source of plague.

The plague starts everyone's problems, and remains the primary foe - so to speak - but whatever gains you make are regularly thwarted by design, and the game doesn't allow you to save everyone. In fact, day 12 brings you face-to-face with a desolate town and a four-figure death toll regardless of your actions. Although resource management is an important mechanic, the game itself is less about the technical side of disaster relief and more about using the plague as a method of exploring ideological conflict through a character-heavy narrative - and this isn't even getting into the very meta (and confusing) late game.

Pathologic (Video Game) / int_bfc659ba	comment	Standard FPS Guns: Calling Pathologic a "standard FPS" would be laughable, as so many of the traits inherent to the guns don't apply, even if the game does still involve guns. Knives: There are two kinds, both of which have limited durability, undermining their use as Emergency Weapons. They can cause a One-Hit Kill if you use them to attack an absurdly tiny hitbox located around the back of the neck, but due to the fact that people shift from side to side when walking, as well as the rather long delay when attacking, it's very hard to actually pull it off. Handgun: The derringer is roughly equivalent to the pistol in most shooters, but you can forget about ammo being plentiful. Revolvers Are Just Better: The revolver actually subverts many of the standard tropes surrounding it; it's more powerful than the derringer, but still one of the weakest guns overall. Sniper Rifle: The rifle is hard to classify, actually — while it is the most accurate weapon, it doesn't have a scope, so it's not a Sniper Rifle. It's not a Marksman Gun either, since it can only hold one bullet at a time. Sawed-Off Shotgun: You only get it halfway through the game, though it is quite effective at killing large mobs.

Yet, in Pathologic, you can starve to death in a day, and not sleeping for too long will literally deteriorate your health until you wither away and die standing up. Obviously, this was done because the game only lasts for 12 days; but the in-universe excuse is that the Twyre herb is in bloom, causing exhaustion and speeding up metabolism. The game's general tone does a good job of masking this. Eva mentions that blooming twyre causes heart attacks and burst vessels in people with compromised health. Starvation or exertion don't kill you by themselves - they just leave you vulnerable to twyre's deadly effects.

Further, the initial vaccines Stakh Rubin produces are made from the strange, magically altered blood of the late-ish Simon Kain, said to bear a resemblance to the aforementioned aurochs blood, albeit weakened from old age. Last, but not least, Clara is revealed about midway through her path to have the power to change the blood of anyone she heals—but especially her Bound—to resemble Simon's, but stronger.

She also thinks that Eva is superior to her in all respects, and while other women of the town wear gowns and dresses and have long or mid-length hair, Yulia prefers to wear trousers and cut her hair short. Fans have also theorized that there's some queer coding between Daniil Dankovsky and Artemy Burakh. The evidence of this has mainly been found in dialogue and their letters to each other, especially in the haruspex route where Daniil has a bigger role. Daniil is also often referred to as dandy, and he doesn't seem to be very interested in women. This possible queer coding has never been fully confirmed by the creators but they have used ship art of the two to promote the game.

Pathologic (Video Game) / int_ef42ca88	comment	Emergency Weapon: You can use a scalpel or a bigger ordinary knife as melee weapons to defend yourself (or others). Firearms are the more powerful and safer to use weapons though, since melee fights in the game are fast and brutal.

Pathologic (Video Game) / int_f0001923	comment	Fire-Breathing Weapon: The army that arrives in the city at mid-point in the game's story includes a creepy-looking squad of men armed with flame-throwers◊. Since the army arrived to ensure the area is quarantined and to keep the plague from spreading... it's not hard to guess who their targets would have been.

Pathologic (Video Game) / int_f2dadf81	comment	This is also Clara's power, though it's not presented straightforwardly. She is told that, because of her powers, she cannot lie, not in the sense of refusing to lie, but in the sense that whatever she says comes true, whether or not she wants it to. This includes the existence of an evil twin.

Pathologic (Video Game) / int_fe262584	comment	Cutscene Power to the Max: Subverted. The opening cutscene of Artemy's scenario shows him beating a group of armed muggers to death with his bare hands, something you'll have incredible difficulty doing in actual gameplay. However, this act isn't consequence-free: once gameplay starts, it becomes apparent that the battle took its toll on him, as his Life Meter is at critical levels.
