Pathologic 2 is a reimagining of the original, focused on the Haruspex, Artemy Burakh. You return to your plague-stricken hometown as a surgeon-healer caught between local kinship traditions, colonial urban power, impossible medicine, hunger, exhaustion, and a clock that never stops. Compared with the 2005 game, it is more mechanically coherent and cinematic, but still intentionally punishing: you are meant to triage, fail, compromise, and live with irreversible consequences.

Please buy Pathologic 2 Games press sort of failed this game, and there is fear that the developers aren't doing well financially :(

I am so enamored with this game. I just want to talk about it, but at the same time I don't want to learn too much because it is so fun and, honestly, weird to encounter a game that creates so much out of letting players fail forward. Gah!!!

From an update email I just received:

Difficulty Adjustment Update is Here:

To put it mildly, Pathologic 2 is a tough game. And rightly so: for being the game about a catastrophe, it was always intended to be grueling, stressful, and bleak.

However, we heard your feedback and decided to make an update that would allow you to adjust the experience. But instead of making a simple slider to offer a range from Story Mode to Hardcore, we are giving players the way to make lots of fine tweaks to control hunger, fatigue, immunity, thirst and so on.

Use this tool to make the world of Pathologic a bit more forgiving or turn on the absolute hardcore survival mode -- the choice is yours to make now. Enjoy!

I played the demo, still on the fence about this game. I love Icepick Lodge, love the original Pathologic. Will probably get this on release, since this dev makes some truly bizarre games and we need much more of stuff like this.
