Just brought Pathologic HD off of Gog, what am I in for? Also general Pathologic thread

Please tell me why I cant tell IP he is shilling faggot when he is.

Fuck you, let us talk about video games in peace.
We let you alone with your weebshit, let us alone with our artsy slavshit.

Because he's not fucking shilling you retard. I'm just asking about this game I just got and you're sperging out like a schizophrenic faggot. Fuck off and stop shitting up my thread.

It's like fallout but with scalpels.

Like skyrim but with guns.

it's cheap as dirt

It's a good obscure game that not many people know. Even if he's shilling which is unlikely you schizoid faggot it's fine.

people posting anime girls as a reaction should be stoned

>what am I in for?
Boredom, Frustration, Suffering, Enlightenment. In that order.
Atmosphere and story are top notch, gameplay is pretty bad, but bearable. There's a lot of reading, but most of it is dialogues, not walls of text. Also, you'll be walking around A LOT, at very slow speed.

In case you don't know the basic premise, you're a doctor coming to a backwater town during the outbreak of a deadly disease. You have 12 days to do whatever needs to be done in order to save the town or not.

As for general tips:
>play the bachelor route first
>buying in stores is usually more expensive than trading with people in the streets
>children usually have the most valuable items to trade
>always loot every trashcan on your way
>keep a permanent save at the beginning of each day
>you can't be everywhere at once and time is short, so plan out in advance where you want/need to go

If you can get invested and power through to the end, good on you. You'll be rewarded with great writing that you'll probably never forget, for better or worse.(and depending on the ending, some really aggressive 2deep4u metanarrative and 4th wall breaking)


If you find the game interesting but hard to get into, I suggest playing Pathologic 2 instead (despite the name, it's a remake). Classic HD is still worth playing, but 2 greatly improves almost every aspect, and is much more of a *proper* game with actual mechanics.

If you hate everything about the game, just drop it. Don't force yourself to play a game you don't enjoy just because Yea Forums said it's amazing.
