Ice Pick Lodge and tinyBuild promised to release the first episode of Pathologic 2 before July - and still manage to complete it on time. The Haruspex Scenario will be available on Steam on May 23rd. On this occasion, the developers published "the strangest trailer in history" - in it they wanted to show how much they had done in recent months.
Pathologic 2 is not exactly a sequel to the thriller Pathologic. Utopiaβ, but rather a remake and rethinking. The decision to divide the game into episodes became known at the end of last year - as the authors said then, the process of creating the project was delayed, and the feedback from the alpha testing participants was not as enthusiastic as we would like. Yes, and the economic crisis in Russia has greatly affected the financial capabilities of the team.
βThe Pestilence is an authorβs plot art thriller that tells about the fight against an epidemic of a deadly disease in a remote steppe town,β the developers describe the project in this way. The city is dying right before our eyes. You have to make difficult decisions - sometimes obviously losing ones. Sand ulcer is not just a disease. You can't save everyone."
The protagonist takes the place of the main healer of the city, who died under mysterious circumstances, and he has only twelve days to do everything about everything. You will have to spend precious time wisely: monitor hunger, thirst and fatigue, communicate with residents by freely entering any house, and extract resources for survival. Two additional scenarios (for the Bachelor and the Changeling) are planned to be released later, with changes based on the decisions made by the players in the first episode.
