Ice-Pick Lodge and HypeTrain Digital have announced the PC release of Pathologic 3, a game sure to please narrative adventure and detective fans. The latest sequel in the long-running series offers players a limited amount of time to save the town from a mysterious plague that has broken out. Players will need to interview townsfolk, collect clues, and figure out how to cure everyone before time runs out.
The PC version is available on Steam and GoG with a sweet 20% discount for folks to take advantage of. According to the dev team, the Xbox Series X/S versions will be out next month.
Developers are always keen to showcase their work, and this team has put together an eerie launch trailer that offers a peek inside the game.
Pathologic 3 features:
- Save Lives: Bring your medical training to bear. Observation and knowledge are your tools. Work with patients face-to-face. Examine the sick and make diagnoses. Each patient is a unique story — and a medical mystery. They may lie, omit the truth, or hide their motives. You must separate fact from fiction, and identify the real symptoms. Step by step, you’ll get closer to developing a vaccine that could change everything.
- Take Control of the Town: Fight for every new day. Ensure the town’s survival by imposing your own rules: enforce quarantines, confiscate precious medicine, vaccinate the population, suppress riots, deploy patrols, and declare curfews.
- Bend Time and Shape Your Story: Made a mistake? Go back and fix it. Time is your tool for navigating a narrative web filled with moral dilemmas and branching paths. Rewind if you think you could have done better. Keep your eye on your ultimate goal—even if the road there is paved with sacrifices.
- Don’t Lose Your Mind: How far will you go to find the truth? Your mental state directly affects your actions, and even how you interpret events. Falling into apathy or wandering into mania may lead you to new insights… or to your death.
