About

Pathologic is a Russian survival-horror/RPG about a remote steppe town collapsing under a plague, with the story told through three playable outsiders: the Bachelor, the Haruspex, and the Changeling. Each route covers the same 12-day catastrophe from a different worldview, but rather than offering a clean mystery to unravel, the game forces you to survive inside a collapsing social order where resources are scarce, motives are unclear, and every explanation of the town feels partial or suspect.
