About: The original Indie Cult Classic returns fully restored, and more evocative than ever and
includes the original version of Pathologic!
Pathologic Classic HD is the Definitive Edition of the original Cult Classic Psychological First-Person
Survival game. The game represents a unique and unforgettable experience as it transports
players in a weird town which crouches, ominous, in the far reaches of an ancient steppe. It was
once a small drover settlement, huddled around a monstrous abattoir—but something about the
butchery it was near has changed it. It has developed an odd social structure over the course of
several generations. It could have quietly continued along its weird way, but a sudden outbreak of
an unknown and inevitably lethal disease has decimated the citizens. Prayers did not help. Science
did not help. So, finally, they have turned to outsiders for help: three of them enter the town in
hope of finding a cure or—failing that—an explanation. The first outsider was a ruthless
investigator, assigned by local authorities. The second is a far-sighted Ripper who has used his
extraordinary abilities to gain a reputation as an ingenious surgeon, who has come to the town in
search of his father's terrible heritage. The third—and last—outsider is an eccentric girl rumored
to have mystic healing abilities; she may become the town's salvation were it not for the constant
fear that plagues her, the memory of the horrors of her recent past.
On the surface, Pathologic is a first person horror adventure game where you control one of three
"heroes." Dig deeper, however, and you’ll find an experience that will affect your emotional and
psychological state. In the world of Pathologic you’ll find yourself in situations where morals and
good deeds are meaningless in the face of raw despair and endless need. Talk to the denizens of
the town and decide for yourself if you wish to ease someone else’s pain or save every bit of
precious medicine to protect yourself from the invisible and inexorable plague. Become witness
to the miasma of horror as the plague begins to overcome the town.

● An indie cult classic.
● 12 days in a plague-ridden town. Time is running, and mostly it’s running out; numerous events
unfold, whether you’re there to witness them or not.
● 70+ hours of real-time gameplay without grinding or repetitive quests. As time goes by, more
and more things happen, inviting you to participate and change the course of events.
● 3 playable characters with 3 unique storylines. The Bachelor’s, the Haruspex’s, and the
Changeling’s plots are interconnected, but every side of the trilemma is represented separately
via unique events, quests, dialogues, and subplots.
● The plot is critically acclaimed and often regarded as the high point of the game. It’s not just
about the fate of the dying town—it’s about an ideological conflict, represented by a multitude
of characters and factions, each with their own idea of what life, death, and miracles are.
● An open-world game. While the plot is there to grab you, the town has no artificial boundaries:
you are free to explore it from day one, carving out your own story.
● Survival is tough. The dying town demands that you constantly keep an eye on your status,
maintaining a full belly and decent immunity. That will require tough choices.
● Communicate, barter, rob, or steal. There are many ways to acquire your bare necessities, each
of them with its own benefits and drawbacks.
● The atmosphere of bleakness and despair without cartoonish evil or bad guys. Playtime is over—
there will be no jump scares or simple solutions. You will have to do it the hard way.
