Pathologic is one of those games that many of us adore in theory, but in practice, are probably a little too intimidated to pick up ourselves. However, the series has certainly found its fans and is still going today, with Pathologic 3 just days away from release.
Our guide editor, Ryan Thompson-Bamsey, has been previewing Pathologic 3 ahead of its full launch on Friday, and has found that it's just as relentless as ever. In fact, this latest instalment has taken away the comfort of reloading a save file after you die, now requiring players to have enough resources to make the reload. And if you die without any of those resources? You start right back at the beginning again.
As Ryan explains it to us, Pathologic 3 takes place over the course of 12 days, like the previous games. However, you can also time-travel across these days using the resource Amalgam. You can find this as you play, with one of the methods being breaking mirrors you come across.
This mechanic is also how the game explains why you are able to reload to a previous save after dying. Essentially, you are time-travelling to a previous point...
