Pathologic 2 - May 23rd... Who's ready for based Russian kino?

>there will be new quests, events, and plotlines, and some filler quests that were added for the sake of adding something will be rid of.
>Graphics will be much better. We'll do everything we can so that the game looks adequate even ten years from now.
>Gameplay will be way more balanced. We're not talking about making it simpler and survival easier, mind you; but fights used to be annoying rather than tense and emotional, scavenging was very rudimentary, and the economy of a plagued town was hardly a system at all. We plan to change all that, making all these mechanics robust. That doesn't mean the game'll become a breeze, it just means we'll replace artificial challenges with real ones.
>Street NPCs will have advanced AIs that'll make them feel way more alive. Once again, we're not abandoning the concept of them being "extras" in this play, we just want those extras to perform better.
>We'll also add realistic behavior patterns to the disease.

> In the new Pathologic, we're introducing a way, way less one-dimensional disease system. It will work dynamically. It will change things. It will become a separate layer of the narrative. The desire to spoil some of its more curious aspects is excruciating, but we'll still our hands. One example is that you will not necessarily be always up to date with the processes happening within your own body—and evaluating your own state will become a part of the game.

>Events instead of quests and tasks. Have you ever met a person—only to be asked to repair their torn relationship with a family member two days after you've first seen one another? And to be freaking paid for your troubles? It happens once in a while—but video games seem to believe that this is normal behavior. It's not. Moreover, in real life, people tend to set their own goals. We're introducing such a system to Pathologic—a system where you will very rarely be asked to do something. Most oftenly, you will simply be made aware of events unfolding, but it will be up to you whether (and how) to participate. That does not mean that there'll be no rewards—just like in real life, proactivity leads to certain benefits. But figuring out what to do will be part of the challenge

>ou will influence the NPCs' fates. In the old Pathologic, there were precisely two cases of you choosing the fate of the Bound people—and it was a life-or-death choice in both cases. Well, now you'll get a chance to become more involved. Did you participate? Did you set them straight? Did you offer an advice that lead them to an unfortunate outcome? There’s nothing groundbreaking here, but being able to influence the fates of those around you fits so well with the structure of Pathologic that we couldn’t help introducing it

Can't fucking wait

man, i started the haruspex route two days ago but I really am out of shape for this kind of experience. walking around the city looses its novelty after you've spent >20h in the first route and you've lmemorized every song, and I'm ashamed to not be able to finish it because burakh is so fucking based and i love it's relationship with all the ritualistic aspects of the game.

i think i will wait for the remake to start it.

Will it still have the same cool soundtrack? It really added to the atmosphere.

based
same composer, different soundtrack

that game has too fucking many texts. its actually too many. its not a game i want to play

so is this still episodic? How will that work? Haven't heard anything about that in months.

And does anyone know how long this will be?

Nobody cares about your pretentious snorefest, nigga, go back to shilling it on russian chans.

>tfw terrible performance
