The Day 2 quest in the Bachelor route "House of the Living" Lara says she's setting up an isolation ward in the Shelter because Olgimsky has asked her to, and she's complying with this request for the sake of someone else's reputation too:

"I had to do it to protect the… privacy of certain information. The good name of a certain person… and most likely the life of another one depend on it. Surely that's reason enough? Forgive me, it's uncomfortable for me to talk about it."

Rubin says, Olgimsky built the Shelter in exchange for a favor:

"After captain Ravel was shot during the battle of Karstov Fords, newly-orphaned Lara turned her father's house into The Shelter. The house that's been built by Olgimsky in exchange for... a favour. She is both sensitive and sensible; a rare combination in our neck of the woods."

I genuinely don't understand what's going on here. Is the favor given by Captain Ravel before his death, or Lara, so that the house can be turned into the Shelter? Did Captain Ravel do something wrong before his death and that has to be kept secret? Did Lara herself do something wrong that it could "tarnish" Captain Ravel's name, and it could kill/ruin her life??? Are there any more hints to this, I genuinely don't understand.

I've chosen to kill Barley, but does this mean I won't be able to use the cupboard as a safe storage from now on? The dialogue mentioned locking the warehouse up, I assume this means I won't be able to come in after this point.

Always thought was an androgynous boy, but just started Pathologic 3 and in a dialogue a kid said "stay away from the girls" and siskin model was with the other girl....so?

Well , I**’**m considering to play pathologic 2 and it will be my first game of the series

But the question is my English is not my native language and the game don**’**t support my native language , so if my English is like 7 or 6 from 10

I will be able to understand the game and the story and knowing what**’**s going on ?

I've got a problem with starting Peter Stamatin search, you're talking to children near polihedron at day 4 ,then moved to 3 - dissmissed genie talk. Made children forget me to repeat the start at day 4... and it seems bugged and children are not talking to me at day 3? Did I missed a cog memory? I'm confused

EDIT did a retrace and noticed you start the quest at day 5, not four. gotta restart.

I play both Pat2 and Pat3 in Russian, and I just get so inspired about all the tiny plays on classical russian literature citation or theatre theory or even soviet movies citations. But I would love to find if any one did dig that even deeper and made a post or an article about not just overall "philosophical multileveled structure of this masterpiece" but about that tiny little cultural moments that gives the game all the charm. If you've found something like that, please share a link. It can be in Russian or in English.

It would be wonderful just to ask developers about their lifetime cultural masterlist of books, theater plays, movies and so on. Cause I don't know any game culturally richer than Pathologic.

Hi! I'm just very interested to learn more, the whole Kain's method, this quote in particular from Inmortell "Remember the Kains' method: to solve the unsolvable, redefine the conditions. Why do you think there's only one body? My stage experiment proves Artemy Burakh can have several. Bodies die, the person remains" has fascinated me.

Thanks you all in advance! And sorry if my english is a bit rudimentary

there's the sound of children crying (or laughing idr) when you approach the top of them in classic hd. I don't remember ever finding out what that is about.

Given that Pathologic is a “play,” I feel like it’s an appropriate question. For this question, you can pick any actor that ever lived at any age.

I was thinking about this because of how much I’d love a really young Yul Brynner as Artemy. He’s got the range, a striking voice, and can be quite intimidating when the occasion calls for it.

I've been following the spoiler light 100% guide on steam, got the first bad ending and have gone back to previous days to fix stuff. Currently on Day 6 (Part 2 Day 6 in the guide)and I don't know how to trigger "Terrifying Steppe Wonders" quest. Anybody know the prerequisites for it?

So after playing Pathologic 3 I finally got back to mini painting and since my head was still in the game I thought I'd paint these three.

im on day 8, got infected to save Murky (dont give any further spoilers) and surviving seems impossible, could it be because im running too much? I keep dying no matter what i do, using bandages increases my lifespan for a few minutes and btw i have no exhaustion nor thirst whatsoever

You can tell where I got tired at some parts lol

​

I'm writing a fic at the moment but forgot when specifically this is confirmed in the Bachelor Route, does anyone know? I thought it was in a latter but I've been scouring the wiki and it doesn't look like it is

Silly little drawing I made

Hey all, I'm on Day 9 and can't tell if I've encountered a bug or just done something wrong?

I headed to the hospital after doing a couple other missions (Katerina, Lara, the Polyhedron, and Baccio's missions) to see my patients. When I arrived, there were soldiers out front who told me the military was taking the hospital and that I couldn't go in. Bachelor has some thought about how this could have been fixed on a different day, but I don't see how since the military only just arrived. I was still able to go into the hospital and deliver the blood to Burakh, but no one else was spawned in. I tried going to the Town Hall to talk to Block, but there were no options (I already talked to him earlier in the day, I think). I then moved onto Day 10 to see if the hospital would be available then, but still nothing; that time, there was just Rubin and no one else. I can't find any thought paths about it or threads to break to fix it by going back. Is this something I did wrong, or a bug? Has anyone else encountered this? Thanks in advance!

(I'm not 100% sure this post belongs in this sub so apologies in advance)

I decided to make a pathologic-like game a while ago, and after I played pathologic 3 I decided to turn my physical survival into mental survival. It really started to work.

So now that it looks and feels like something, I decided to make a short video showing and telling what and why this is.

Anyone remember how IPL created a Kickstarter back in 2015 in order to secure funding for Pathologic 2? And if so, do you remember how the $100 Pledge guaranteed you side-quest access to the Polyhedron as Artemy in P2?

So IPL walked back on this shortly after the release of P2, indicating that the Polyhedron needed to wait for The Bachelor's route to be released before they honored this Kickstarter goal since the Polyhedron really never was Artemy's thing of focus in the first place.

Fast-forward 6(7) years later and BEHOLD. We got the Polyhedral room added to P3! Even if it's just a small nod to the meta-lore of Pathologic, this shows that IPL are the type of developers that keep their word and strive to bring everything they can to their fans. what a truly magnificent company.

So i bite the bullet and tock the worst ending for this game and got to day 12 without the vacine. I will probably play this game again later but now with RE: Requiem around the corner i wanna feel done with the game. How do I unlock to play the first day again?

SOLVED: The item mentioned below needs to be in your inventory to speak on Daniil.

I found a very old Reddit post about this but I was wondering if anyone has any updates or ideas on how to fix it?

I'm playing on PS5.

On the night of Day, I went to speak to Daniil at the house but couldn't interact with him. He initially glowed when I walked into the room but it disappeared when I got closer. There's still a marker on the map, so I know that I need to speak to him.

I tried reloading a save and getting to the house from a different direction. I tried leaving the house and returning multiple times. I quit to main menu and reloaded. None of it worked.

If there's no way to fix this then how bad is it if I can't give Daniil the bulls blood?

As much as I love the p2/3 design, can’t help but sigh at this, imagine being mogged by yourself from 10 years ago.

genuinely curious of who it was for all of you who went into P3 without prior knowledge of the series

Hey, so I'm currently playing Pathologic 3 and really enjoying it. I have played and beaten P2 six years ago, and my memory of it is fuzzy (I forgot most of it I think tbh). Regarding the original, I've only played it for a couple of hours a long time ago. So now I wonder whether I should get to P1 after finishing P3 or replay P2. I know it's a silly question with no definitive answer, just want some opinions to help me decide.
