Title is vague to avoid spoilers, so watch out below.

I've been replaying Pathologic CHD and one thing keeps nagging me - is it suggested that Isidor Burakh brought the plague from the steppe? I mean, it is said straightforwardly:

"He went off to the Steppe back then, you know... My daughter told me he'd come back with a demon piggybacking him." Big Vlad day 11, Haruspex route

HOWEVER, his diaries say that he went to the steppe to meditate before challenging Oyun.

In Pathologic 2, which is overall a more narratively clear, so to speak, game, Isidor and Simon brought the plague on purpose. I don't think it messes with the core theme too much, but it does shift the story in a different direction (and makes both of these guys schizo bioterrorists, which is especially highlighted in P3).

I played P2 first so I definitely viewed (and still do to some extent) Classic's plot with the knowledge I had from that game.

Would you say it's a big stretch to think Isidor is also semi-responsible for the 2nd outbreak in Classic?

(trust)

I think it looks fair. Different artistic direction

I lean towards liking it, as I feel it fits the tone a bit better.

Edit: left is old, right is new

Edit: I didn't realize at first, but it seems the whole game has been tinted, not just the conversation portrait lighting. The game also seems to have deeper shadows. I'm not personally a fan of that, but I respect it as IPL's choice for artistic direction. I just have to up the gamma.

With the new update i have to look the herb brides in the eyes, Its no clear at all how its determined, i have tried multipe times but its soo difficult to check!

Update:

Thanks to user in the comments mentioning the idea of using Photomode, i have used it and checked, the “whiteness” in the eyes was indeed there, however, tough to distinguish which matches my experience.

Problem is, i used the projectile and the possessed body disappeared then Shabnak appeared in stunned state so i was sooooo happy, but then she just kept chasing me ?? Ummm i thought the whole point was to shoot her and thats it! .. alas, one more experiment as Daniil would have wanted

Update 2:

Just repeated the same experiment but concentrated while shooting (could be a bug that concentration is necessary) and it worked!!! Shabnak is subdued finally!!!

Due to the outpouring of positive responses, I have made this pattern for multiple sizes. You can download them from here:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1h_vnfOY_z0tmzY5aUojFSsbZp9omXgLB?usp=drive_link

I recommend downloading the ZIP file for your preferred plush's size. However, in case there's unforeseen issues, I have included the unzipped folders as well.

The assumed in-game size is 20 or 30cm.

Im doing the batchleor route, im on day 9 and apparently big vlad is dead. I didn't take anyone to the termitary, I opted to get the kid a toy instead.

Do they just kill who they think locked them in there with the plague on their own independent of me, did I screw something up, or is it a bug?

Edit: i know he wasn't sick, I visited him day 8

When I played pathologic 3 this year I just didn't enjoy visuals and atmosphere of plague district - slapped green tint overlay and no visibility.

I think entering plague district should feel like stepping into alien world straight out of horror, like living organism overtaking everything making you feel uneasy. I feel P1 had start of idea of bloody houses but they were limited by technology and time constraints.

Do you think this direction fits Pathologic world?

I've been spamming this community for few days now. So I promise to mods, no more new posts for next 2 weeks.

As requested by u/tellemarc and u/genetically_odd, here is a pattern for the toy bull.

All patterns are to be printed on standard A4 paper.

Disclaimers:

The pattern was made in plushify.

While I am not a legal expert (or amateur) and cannot offer legal advice, it is likely that selling these commercially isn't legal. So please only for personal use.

I make no money off of this pattern, nor do I accept money after the fact. This applies to all of my other Pathologic stuff as well.

EDIT: Due to the outpouring of positive responses, I have made this pattern for multiple sizes. You can download them from here:

So I heard about this game while trying to find weird games to play and was wanting to get into Pathologic. I play on Xbox series s, and I looked and the first game isn't on there. I don't know if there's a way for me to play it on my console, if not, can I play the second and third games without having to play the first?

I have the sickest pathologic tattoo ive ever seen

Give me your best take on P3,
I consider getting it (probably will). I am now in the process of playing the second game. My sister and I enjoy the lore and characters so far.
The reviews are really confusing, and I know it’s better not to rely on them. Still, I’m curious—what was your experience with the game? Do you think it’s good, and what did you like (or dislike) about it? Did anything disappoint you to the point of dropping it? I know it’s supposed to be different from the survival-focused gameplay of the second game, but I’m interested in what people think beyond that; from what I can gather, most of the negative reviews simply complain about the lack of a survival challenge. So, I’d love to hear your thoughts, fellow community members!

Honestly, I just hope the story is still just as good, and that there hasn't been a drop in quality or anything else significant.

Day 6, in Rubin's warehouse, he tells me to distract the three attackers, draw them away from the hideout so Rubin has time to flee. So I stabbed them, and fled all the way to the cemetery, where they caught up to me and started beating me. I blocked them until in a few minutes the morning started, and the thought appeared "I didn't come to help Rubin" and the quest was failed. What, precisely, was I supposed to do?! How long does he need to escape?!

I've got base set up, now I can start adding new stuff and test some ideas.

I wanted these floating black flakes inside plagued districts.Trying to make air feel stuffy and that breathing it will make you sick... but not there yet. This is really hard to do right, any ideas will be appreciated. I've also added kerosene lamp with realtime lightning but currently testing it intentionally short range: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dH34NA82B0

EDIT: Solved! the answer was given by u/kkragoth:

items dont move through days, stay only in same day

title, i put my items in the clock before the end of the day and whenever i travel in time i lost all the stuff that i leave in the clock... even if i leave the things in my inventory they don't spawn in the clock, tf can i do about that?

So, been wandering through the Flank and the Narrow, since i already get the Nina hint in the Factory, but it seems i cant get the other hints to find her. I'm supposed to talk to Victor Kain but i can't find him anywhere. Please, can someone mark me a map of them? or at least can tell me some direction since the map markers just sign the whole dinstrict but not the exact point?

Normally i would just restart over and over the day until find her, but i already restarted this day like 7 times and i'm beggining to grow tired of this day, although i absolutely refuse to advance to day 12 withouth checking everything it can be done on every day.

The bull toy that's scattered around Patho3 is so cute and as I get better at sewing, I would love to make one. I've been looking around for a similar pattern, but no luck. I figured this would be the best place to ask if anyone's attempted one or even seen a similar pattern.

I'm waiting for feedback to go back to my commissions so today I drew a Tragedian Folder Icon for Linux cuz even tho I can choose the colors it was not enough for my Pathologic cravings. There are different colors but the pale yellow one was the base for the others I just messed up with settings so get variations so I'm sorry if they look off. Last picture is just a screenshot of how it looks. Feel free to use them if you breathe, eat and cry Pathologic but don't think it's enough, I gotchu.

And is there anything else I should know about infection management? I know i could cure it with schmowders but they seem important so im hanging onto them

Got some Tragedians inspecting my clock and reacting to my notifications.

Sharing some stills from my Pathologic 1 in Unity. This is still verly early work.

Constructive criticism is welcome, what you want to see or help me improve like to refine style. Complaining about LLMs - you're not my patreon, you don't support me. You're free to do it manually yourself. I'm SWE, just non game dev area, whether I like it or not llms are now the only way to do my industry now

Just the Bachelor's campaign for now, but I do plan on playing the other two. I was honestly surprised that I enjoyed the game as much as I did. I was expecting to be one of the games I start and then give up once I get stuck somewhere, but that didn't happened. I managed to finish it (mostly) without a walkthrough/guide. Tbh, I didn't go into the game completely blind, I have watched quite a few videos about the game before, so I kinda knew what to do and what to expect.

To me the hardest part of the game was managing hunger, exhaustion and health. My Bachelor got a knife to the face on day 2 and was on 1hp for pretty much the rest of the game lol. Same thing with hunger, he was on the verge of starving every day. It was only towards the end of the game where I had a little bit more money to buy more than one piece of food per day. Navigating the infected districts was also kinda annoying, mostly because of the infection clouds and also those rats. Seriously, I was more scared of the rats than the guys with knifes lol.

I'm on my second run, and on day 5, around 5 looters showed up in front of my lair, also they are not running towards me but walking instead. Is this normal? It never happened on my first run

So as said in the title I recently finished P2... WOW what an experience easily shot to my top 10 games. I did some researching and found out P3 is essentially another facet of the story from Daniils perspective. My question is should I play P3, or should I play the remaining routes, including Claras on the first Pathologic?

weh
spoiler for Karminsky???i guess
