no money. no food. no sleep. no health. no medicaments. no time, either. oh, ESPECIALLY no time. you're rushing to finish the main quest of the day, else your close friend gets sick with a plague. it's 22:53, you're at the opposite end of the town, and there's no way to get to your destination but walk, because you can't run even if you want to. you're chased by 2 muggers, 3 rats, and, if you're unlucky enough to let your reputation drop lower than 40%, - by an entire male population of the town that's willing to beat the living ♥♥♥♥ out of you just because you've breathed too funny at them. because there's no time, you decide to take a shortcut through the infected district, so now three death farts fly at you simultaneously as you run into ♥♥♥♥ angel that jumpscares you from the nearest corner. someone keeps throwing fire grenades at your feet, and at this exact moment your body decides to have a coughing fit mixed with cardiac arrest and epileptic seizure all at once that throws you off guard and nearly gets you killed - yet again. still, determined to finish the day no matter what under the sheer pressure of the existential crisis summoned by the plot, you dodge everything, getting closer and closer to your destination... only to be knocked down by a flame thrower right next to the threshold, because you've let your infection get too high and forgot about it in the heat of the moment. 10/10, the best experience of my game life so far.

When Sartre said hell is other people, he was wrong: hell is--in fact--buying this game, forcing yourself to go through hell by playing it hoping that the design and the obscure charm would win you over despite the absurdity and tedium it offers ad nauseum. this is the game of life and there is no reprieve. the world is a stage, just like ours, and the biopolitics of it all cries Burroughs + Kafka + The Master and The Margarita. experience madness in quote-unquote HD. this is like Russian Roulette without needing guns: just bubonic fantasies, miasmia, and the existential lack of will to live. being a good person will cost you your life. being a bad person will also cost you your life. this is a game where I tried to jump over a fence and literally died. I can only micro-dose this game because it drains the hell out of my emotional resources. I'd rather write this review than play it.

I've hated every second of this game. It has driven me absolutely insane. There are few words adequate to describe the all consuming tormentous nightmare that is Pathologic. I hate this god forsaken town and every single riddle-speaking bastard that inhabits it. I hate that smug little girl that had me searching for 30 minutes for an invisible bloody cat! This game represents one of the best examples of psychological warfare in modern history. That prickly prick Dankovski can go suck an egg. This is one of the best games I've ever played and I'd recommend it to anyone who has mental breakdowns recreationally.

In a city ravaged by plague, survival is less a matter of skill and more about the slow erosion of moral resolve.
