Fantastic theme, and plays like an expanded flash game you'd find on kongregate or bubblebox. If you were a bubble tanks fan, you'll feel right at home.

At first glance this just seems like your average twin stick bullet hell roguelight. But look under the skin and you'll see all the microscopic details that make this one of best evolutions of the genre. The addictive gameplay loop squirms it's way into your mind as your runs multiply. Ironically I've encountered no bugs aside from the player character. Put aside any germaphobia, skip the handwashing just this once and let the game infect you. Playing on steam deck, works out of the box no tinkering.

As of writing this, this game has no reviews. Allow me to be the first. I've been playing pathogenic since it released as a demo, and wow, it's gotten better. New intros, animations, menus. Its so much better! Performance issues i saw last time, gone! anything i could've complained about is missing so far. I love critiquing game, this one i just cant. So if you are reading this, wondering if you would like it. Just get to the infection, it beckons.
