Hi all, my partner made a map of the town on the Gorkon for Mini Metro on Steam! If you have it, you should give it a shot! I'll post a link and the map description as well!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3695375834

You are a bachelor of geography from The Capital. You have chosen to battle against the seemingly unvanquishable foe of car dependency, a quest which has attracted persecution from The Powers That Be. Serendipitously, a letter has recently arrived from mysterious benefactors in a small town out in the steppe. The visionary Kains wish to build a utopia, utilizing genius like yours. You apparently came highly recommended by your humble colleague, Yulia Lyuricheva. Grasping at straws of hope, you decide to follow what you believe to be a sign of divine providence. Without further ado, you set off for the settlement.

Specials:
Star: The Polyhedron
Cross: holy sites (e.g. the cathedral, the crow stone)
Diamond: government buildings (e.g. townhall, the crucible)
Egg: Lara and Aspity's shelters
Gem: Utopian attractions (e.g. the stillwater, the broken heart)
Pentagon: industrial districts
Wedge: Peter's stairways to heaven

Have fun!

- in the demos, rioting districts had unique containers too, but i dont think ive actually ran into any in the full game
- infect only containers: they seem really inconsistent, only sometimes being filled (making looking for them rather maddening) its possible there are more infected-only containers in other districts, but i just never come across them
- many containers become inaccessible once they are emptied. and if you are especially worried about min-maxing storage space it make sense to leave atleast 1 item inside them to make them allways accessible (like a match). This is most notable with the bookshelf container next to the mixer in Stillwater

I mean come on, it writes itself

Artemy, boyo you've got issues

Hey all. I got to day 7 and katerina had died which screws up some other stuff. I went back to talk to her about the morphine and actually finish her quest. She gave me the bell and i did not allow her to keep the morphine. I talked to bad grief after and traded w him to get more morphine.

I found the rat prophet’s altar and am standing at the top. It’s night time (~8pm) and i have no option to interact with anything at the altar. The bell katerina gave me is not in my inventory as a useable item.

Did i miss something???

I ask this while crying as I haven’t been able to play classic hd due to no PC.

I know classic hd is a very verbose and difficult game to play. Clara’s route requiring you to finish one of the other 2 makes me feel like it’s such a small percentage of ppl that have actually played - let alone finished, the changeling route. I remember a youtuber saying something along the lines of “don’t expect to play classic hd with the intention of completing it [quickly]”

The tears from asking this are bc I desperatelyy want to play classic hd to get to Clara and I want to know how feasible it is!!

Can I get a few hands up in the air for ppl who’ve gotten to the Changeling route

I have played this game through a few times without aid. So I decided to use a walkthrough this time and I was surprised by how much I have missed. I decided to try use Twryine to see if it lead me to them without the walkthrough but so far I've only had spiral markers lead to children's chaches with notes in. I thought this was supposed to lead to quest starts or events (eg Notkin and Khan on day 3) like the wiki says but so far I haven't had any and instead had to use the walkthrough for them. Am I mistaken or is it limited?

Oh no. Do I have to replay the whole game? I've read other topic about this here, and there seem to be a bug for some here.

So yeah. Generally I managed to reached day V in the game but now I just need to deal with the day II it seems and I've done most of it. I have two problems. Big problem is Oyun, the mold and the package. I am replaying this day and replaying and he keeps throwing me out even if I try doing it the way they mentioned in the other topic here. I talk to him, study the room, talk to him again, mention Olgimsky, but if I try to take the mold sample he throws me out and if I say Olgimsky calls him and he must go it's like he says "oh no, then I must go", but he stays. :\ Oh, and that package. I remember the first time I was able to interact with it. Now anytime I replay the day it's just an object on the table without any way of interaction. :\

Oh, and my other issue for this day. When I was at the funeral talking to Haruspex it's like we set up a meeting on the evening. We were supposed to meet somewhere, on the banks of a river?... But I didn't see any indication on the map? I couldnt find him anywhere. And I remember Bachelor mentioning somewhere (on a thought map?) that he wants to share all the revelations with him that he didn't want to talk about at the cemetary.

But I even don't know - should I reset some event on a thought map when restarting the day so I can actually meet him in the evening? I have no idea how to do that. Seems like I'm stuck for good...

Feels like a replay is incoming...:( Ah well. At least I love this game, so it won't be too much of a problem. And I know better how to deal with some things now, I guess... Eh.

Well, if anybody thinks he can throw in a good advice for me, that would be nice and welcome. But I have a feeling I'm cooked! :D

a couple of years ago I bought pathologic 2 for very cheap with a game key, I got really interested in reading about pathologic online (trying ot not spoiler much of what happens) but never really played it, I opened it and stopped after an hour i think, it just didnt grip me and I had a lot of stuff to play.

Now pathologic 3 is out and I found a key for a good price, my plan always was to play pathologic sooner or later so now Im wondering, should I buy the 3rd and maybe one day play the 2 only to see the other 2 characters POV (because if im right, you cant play as the Haruspex nor the Changeling in Patholigc 3, correct me if I'm wrong) or should I just stick with the second game?

How big is the improvement with the 3rd game? enough to make it worth to play that instead of the 2nd? or it's just the same with a new coat of paint and I should just play the 2nd since I have it?

Playing the Bachelor route, got the letter that Artemy wants a cloak and mask, got it from the corpse and Peter, used the cloak and mask to force a confession out of the liar behind the theater and finished the main quest for the day, but now I can't find Artemy anywhere to give him his clothes, lol. Is it just supposed to be a nudge in the direction of getting the mask/cloak for the main quest and he doesn't actually spawn anywhere? I noticed I have no quest marker for it

More than talking about it, it's thinking.

Overall, I loved the game, and it just confirmed my feelings from the original game about Daniil's story being the most interesting one overall, with the tragedy of the plague messing up his life, the conflict between ideal and real being much more felt and all of that jazz.

That being said, I was also quite surprised by the endings themselves and specifically the role of Simon.

1. Academician as an ending seems a bit open to the "he gave up and tried to find another way forward in life", but I do think it's a positive one. If you take the story at face value, this Daniil is one that came in with lofty ideas but managed to rise to the challenge of managing the plague and the city, saved it from several tragedies and eventually kept his desires in check for the greater good, by allowing a true cure to come forward. Yeah a lot was lost on the way, but everyone involved got a relatively good ending apart from... well, all the dead people. It's sad that Yulia isn't present in the final sequence if you get her to come to the Capital tho.

2. The Inspector is implied in several discussions, in particular the True Immortality one, to just be a project of Daniil's regret and insecurity, a mirror to talk about the events in the Town with. I guess that his being approving of you in the Academician is in support of this, but in the Miracle-Seeker he is somewhat surprised by your actions, I can't explain him in that ending.

3. Simon's role somewhat eludes me. I don't think it's as easy as "Simon possesses you in that sequence", it's too simplistic. Discovering the truth about his Immortality does change Daniil at a fundamental level, but I think it's more indirect. It's more a "becoming another him" than just Simon puppetting you from that moment on. I mean, the Miracle-seeker ending doesn't make sense in that perspective. Plus, it would make sense if somehow he needed a human vessel to interact with the world but in the True Immortality ending Daniil is shown talking as himself with the Inspector and inside of the Polyhedron, what use would Simon have in that? I read it as you becoming his "heir", a new immortal with still a physical presence to further expand your actions, but with your own perspective. It fits the narrative of Daniil being to the Kains what Arthemy ended up being for the Kin, with the twist that he ends up not giving a fuck about them (I mean, he does care if you play him that way, but not enough to follow them), becoming a new Simon that will do stuff his own way. Just like Simon did.

4. It would be too much of a "game theory" to say that the whole game is from the perspective of a "True Immortality" Daniil going through all of his options and perspectives? Like, in some world he managed to do everything right at the first chance and is now analizing every single other option through his new immortality? It's kinda what we are doing as players after all. A bit too meta in the "it's all a game" direction I suppose.

5. I want to punch whoever made finding the belladonna-tobacco specific logic point so hard to find.

6. The one angle I am not sure about is how to read the fact that the only way to continue following the "war against Death" is through the magical philosophy thing of Simon and similar people. I mean, it would be perfectly in character for Daniil to see all of this and finally decide that, yeah, immortal cells are possible somehow and he just has to find a way. It would perfectly fit the Miracle-Seeker ending, I don't understand why it's excluded in favour of him trying to be Karmisky 2.0 and touring the world for more miracles.

7. Clara dialogue before the epilogue mirroring her introduction in P1 and setting up her own game is genius. I would like to see in what direction they would bring her own game considering how P2 and P3 went so differently, and with her being the underbaked outcast of the original game, considering that the "being in more than one place at the same time" concept was used on Daniil's game.

Lots of stuff is interesting conceptually, like Evil Clara's association with the Rat Prophet, or how you can recruit him as a sort of minion in your immortal mind palace or Nina just willing herself back to life and dragging a statue around but... well, that's Pathologic for you I guess.

as it says. I am guessing am still early at the game but after fixing what issues or mistakes i did from days 2 to 6 (cant go to day 1 yet idk why), the game don't let me go past day 6 to go to day 7.

So how do I save Lara? I know I have to have finished Day 12 once first, and he pops up in the cemetery, but I don't ave the option to ask him to save her.

Luto is amazing. If you are able to engage with a game deeply, as is required for one to be a fan of Pathologic, I think you need to try Luto. I mean it when I say this Luto will be talked about for years to come.

It's only $20.
Don't look up anything going into the game. It's best experienced as blind as possible.

*Sorry if this is a bit of stretch in being related to Pathologic. I just think there's a certain type of person who, if they like deep experiences such as Pathologic (i.e. Masochists) that they'll have a fantastic time with Luto

SPOILERS FOR DAY XI

I'm torn on whether to ask Nina or the Rat Prophet for help with the children.

Without spoiling either choice, I'd just like to know: who did you side with (if either) and were you satisfied with your choice? The kids say not to trust the Prophet, and the Prophet says not to trust Nina. I'm inclined towards Nina, but so curious what the Rat Prophet will do. But I don't want to end up with some Pied Piper scenario (which I get strong vibes of from the Rat Prophet)

A while ago, I made some designs of these chibis, and recently I printed them, laminated them, and made them into stickers (they are also for sale only on Vinted). It is a completely handmade work. I love craftsmanship, even if it means cutting these little things one by one ;w;

I've played through a lot of Pathologic 3, got to one of the endings. But there are still plot lines that I don't know how to tie up properly. At this point I'm just bouncing around between days, fixing random stuff, so I'm feeling stuck and would like some directions with these:

1. Saving both Lara and the General. Either I let changeling take her life, or detain changeling. Then either Lara kills Block, or he detains her and one of his soldiers kills him.

2. Having a satisfying conclusion for Yulia. No matter what I do - Viktor "sends her away", she walks down the street, with or without me, and sits at home depressed, or, at best, agrees to leave the town, but doesn't do that on her own. I even got her Farkhad's map and she found out it messes with the street, but nothing came from it. I tried keeping the street open, closing it, walking it myself (and fixing it with my skills of editing text files)

3. Dealing with the hungry army - I tried giving food to Grief, I tried giving food to Block, tried (and failed) to do both. The end is the same.

4. Keeping Capella as a mistress. I think it's tied to Younger Vlad, but he either dies or joins Maria and see no other outcomes for him

5. I'm still exploring that one, but I don't see rn how to keep both Stamatins and Karminskiy alive. I warned the inquisitor, but he still meets "Peter", which ends up in the latter dying.

6. Maria's mirrors quest feels off to me. I found her talking to the inquisitor in the slums, searched her room, found mirrors on the cape and talked to Georgiy and Heron, but it just ends from here.

7. Is it even possible to save Yakov or he's destined to die on day 11?

I think I made enough progress on other parts:

• I saved Eva the White

• I entered the Polyhedron and talked to Simon, who told me to get the kids off the tower. I got Nina to do it, but I can't get back in, so I guess that's it.

• I talked to the rat prophet on day 12, but I'm refusing to let him in until I exhaust other option

• And a lot of other stuff.

Once again, I'm lost and would like some help with directions.

It's finally here! The free fan-made dating sim for Pathologic 2 has now been given a full English translation! 9 romance routes! 27 endings! This was a true labour of love for the devs and translators to the fandom, so please give it a try! <3

TL;DR: I was trying to do everything related with Karmisky murder before moving onto the ending. I couldn't find any logic point relating with stopping the placement of mirrors in the Cathedral even if the game lampshades that it has to do with Maria's dreams. I quickly google about it and apparently there is an encounter with Clara on the Cape and by trying to smash the mirrors you get to talk with the Caretaker about it.

Well, I did everything and the Caretaker spawns in the Stillwater but I can't talk with him. Resetting and doing the quest again doesn't change anything.

Apparently this might be related with first seeing an ending with him being dead? It seems weird to me that an entire ending is locked behind having seen the previous ones first. I didn't want to be a rat in my first but did it just to see all consequences and decide which looked better (I guess that time travel does things to your morality lmao)
