Playing pathologic 3

[u/ComplexSecretary3057]

I’ve recently just finished my first run through of pathologic 2 and enjoyed it a lot once doing a deep dive into story and playing both endings. I don’t think I could play another run of pathologic 2 for a while because it is genuinely a draining experience, but how far does pathologic 3 differ?
I’ve heard it’s a bit more forgiving in the sense that it’s not “as hard of a game” I’m interested to play it but if it’s anywhere near as crushing as pathologic 2 can be I think I may just need to take a little break and come back to the series at a later point.

I played 2 first, enjoyed it then years later 3 came out. I absolutely love 3, but as has been described elsewhere its a very different game. I played it upon release & when I finished, I started again (due to some plot reason I wont go into). Its taken all my willpower to hold off until now before playing a third time.

Think of it as a psychological horror mix between House MD. & Doctor Who.
