Pathologic

How do you feel about the Pathologic remake, from what we've seen?

Idk, what have we seen? Old game looks too archaic and mechanically obtuse for my taste.

A demo which was no less obtuse and perhaps even more slow paced.

I very much am looking forward to it. The Marble Nest has a lot of problems that I see right now, so I'm writing up my criticism as per IPL's suggestion...
I think it'll be great though.

Is the house at the beginning supposed to be one of the lucid dreams?

It's probably similar to what they'll be like

what did they mean by this?

If I enjoyed reading Camus will I enjoy this game?

well it's much better than camus, and not very similar at all, so who knows

Ice-Pick Lodge is the developer. I don't understand your confusion.

I thought it was an existentialist piece set in a plague-ridden town.

Probably referring to the part where you tie up and rape a girl. I don't know where that came from, it felt really out of character.

It is.

So how thematically different is it from The Plague?

I read The Plague like 15 years ago so I don't remember, but based on the mentioned criteria it's not different at all.

I tried playing Pathologic a few times but I kept getting to a point where I was wounded, sick and starving with no money to buy provisions

Steal from houses, search garbage cans, and trade with the children.

having gone through pathologic and having read the plague (intertwined i might add), i never experienced moments where i found myself thinking about their similarities. the differences are much greater than the similarities in my opinion, so i think it would be kind of pointless to list differences.
but, for one, pathologic is a game, and could only be a game, because of how the player themselves and their interaction is integrated into the narrative. that difference itself already diverges it from the plague at about an 80 degree angle.
so just play it and see for yourself.

Why are steppe girls so stacked?

It must be the results of all that clotted milk laying around.

That's Pathologic.
