Since its release in 2005, Pathologic has been a cult classic thanks to its intricate narrative, uncanny setting, and intense difficulty. Developer Ice-Pick Lodge followed up with Pathologic 2 after the first received an HD remastered version. It was more akin to a softer reboot versus a proper sequel though. Pathologic 2 streamlined some of the original's aspects while keeping the unsettling atmosphere and complex survival mechanics intact. Notably, it pared the original three storylines down to a single character, the Haruspex, with the developer promising to continue the other two threads later. Fans can now look forward to Pathologic 3 depicting the Bachelor's story next, with HypeTrain Digital publishing the third installment.
