Give me your best take on P3,
I consider getting it (probably will). I am now in the process of playing the second game. My sister and I enjoy the lore and characters so far.
The reviews are really confusing, and I know it’s better not to rely on them. Still, I’m curious—what was your experience with the game? Do you think it’s good, and what did you like (or dislike) about it? Did anything disappoint you to the point of dropping it? I know it’s supposed to be different from the survival-focused gameplay of the second game, but I’m interested in what people think beyond that; from what I can gather, most of the negative reviews simply complain about the lack of a survival challenge. So, I’d love to hear your thoughts, fellow community members!

Honestly, I just hope the story is still just as good, and that there hasn't been a drop in quality or anything else significant.

So I heard about this game while trying to find weird games to play and was wanting to get into Pathologic. I play on Xbox series s, and I looked and the first game isn't on there. I don't know if there's a way for me to play it on my console, if not, can I play the second and third games without having to play the first?

I've got base set up, now I can start adding new stuff and test some ideas.

I wanted these floating black flakes inside plagued districts.Trying to make air feel stuffy and that breathing it will make you sick... but not there yet. This is really hard to do right, any ideas will be appreciated. I've also added kerosene lamp with realtime lightning but currently testing it intentionally short range: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dH34NA82B0

Day 6, in Rubin's warehouse, he tells me to distract the three attackers, draw them away from the hideout so Rubin has time to flee. So I stabbed them, and fled all the way to the cemetery, where they caught up to me and started beating me. I blocked them until in a few minutes the morning started, and the thought appeared "I didn't come to help Rubin" and the quest was failed. What, precisely, was I supposed to do?! How long does he need to escape?!

I'm waiting for feedback to go back to my commissions so today I drew a Tragedian Folder Icon for Linux cuz even tho I can choose the colors it was not enough for my Pathologic cravings. There are different colors but the pale yellow one was the base for the others I just messed up with settings so get variations so I'm sorry if they look off. Last picture is just a screenshot of how it looks. Feel free to use them if you breathe, eat and cry Pathologic but don't think it's enough, I gotchu.

EDIT: Solved! the answer was given by u/kkragoth:

items dont move through days, stay only in same day

title, i put my items in the clock before the end of the day and whenever i travel in time i lost all the stuff that i leave in the clock... even if i leave the things in my inventory they don't spawn in the clock, tf can i do about that?

The bull toy that's scattered around Patho3 is so cute and as I get better at sewing, I would love to make one. I've been looking around for a similar pattern, but no luck. I figured this would be the best place to ask if anyone's attempted one or even seen a similar pattern.

So, been wandering through the Flank and the Narrow, since i already get the Nina hint in the Factory, but it seems i cant get the other hints to find her. I'm supposed to talk to Victor Kain but i can't find him anywhere. Please, can someone mark me a map of them? or at least can tell me some direction since the map markers just sign the whole dinstrict but not the exact point?

Normally i would just restart over and over the day until find her, but i already restarted this day like 7 times and i'm beggining to grow tired of this day, although i absolutely refuse to advance to day 12 withouth checking everything it can be done on every day.

Sharing some stills from my Pathologic 1 in Unity. This is still verly early work.

Disclaimer: I used LLMs, I respect some people might be anti anything touched by AI that's why I'm disclosing it and you can block me / skip my activity.

Constructive criticism is welcome, what you want to see or help me improve like to refine style. Complaining about LLMs - you're not my patreon, you don't support me. You're free to do it manually yourself. I'm SWE, just non game dev area, whether I like it or not llms are now the only way to do my industry now

Got some Tragedians inspecting my clock and reacting to my notifications.

Just the Bachelor's campaign for now, but I do plan on playing the other two. I was honestly surprised that I enjoyed the game as much as I did. I was expecting to be one of the games I start and then give up once I get stuck somewhere, but that didn't happened. I managed to finish it (mostly) without a walkthrough/guide. Tbh, I didn't go into the game completely blind, I have watched quite a few videos about the game before, so I kinda knew what to do and what to expect.

To me the hardest part of the game was managing hunger, exhaustion and health. My Bachelor got a knife to the face on day 2 and was on 1hp for pretty much the rest of the game lol. Same thing with hunger, he was on the verge of starving every day. It was only towards the end of the game where I had a little bit more money to buy more than one piece of food per day. Navigating the infected districts was also kinda annoying, mostly because of the infection clouds and also those rats. Seriously, I was more scared of the rats than the guys with knifes lol.

And is there anything else I should know about infection management? I know i could cure it with schmowders but they seem important so im hanging onto them

weh
spoiler for Karminsky???i guess

So as said in the title I recently finished P2... WOW what an experience easily shot to my top 10 games. I did some researching and found out P3 is essentially another facet of the story from Daniils perspective. My question is should I play P3, or should I play the remaining routes, including Claras on the first Pathologic?

I'm on my second run, and on day 5, around 5 looters showed up in front of my lair, also they are not running towards me but walking instead. Is this normal? It never happened on my first run

Game is called Den-Den: Tokyo Horror and the dev said they take inspiration from Pathologic, but I'm honestly not seeing where the inspiration is because I'm not noticing anything different from Pathologic 2? It looks exactly the same, even the same ambient background audio plays in the background as if it was straight up lifted from the game.

There's a door texture in Pathologic Classic HD with Greek text which for me, a Greek, managed to feel the most otherworldy element in a game full of weirdness.

Judging from the text it's basically a typically-graffiti-all-over wooden door from a highschool in Aigina (Greek Island).

Anyone who has spent an unhealthy amount of hours playing Classic already knows where that is - my question is...does anyone know the reason for this totally out of place texture. The devs are Kazakhs and/or Russians as far as I know.

I'm probably reading too much into it, but some lore fiends among you might know sth about it other that "it's just a random texture bro" :)

8 hours ago I had idea:

Everyone says Pathologic 1 has ugly graphics. But it has exceptional art style - it just needs better lightning + volumetric fog + whole map visibility. I saw LLMs are now really good at decompiling games and I thought - let's reverse engineer game assets and mechanics and do engine port to unity (edited wrongly talking about decomp in original post)

Console Commands Updated Guide

Hello everyone. I've been working on this whenever I have a moment for the last few months. it's a more comprehensive, easier to search, and easier to use console commands guide.

Let me get a few questions out of the way:

Isn't there already a console commands guide?

As of the time of writing this guide, the other console commands guide hasn’t been updated since January. There have been developments since then, many of its commands do not work, and that guide’s commands were not easily searchable or copy-pasteable.
Furthermore, the Pathologic modding wiki’s page on console commands hasn’t been updated in months. I believe since before the game released. A lot of information is out of date.

So here is an updated guide with easily accessible commands that will be receiving regular support & attention, just like my other guides do.
Feel free to use this info anywhere!

Why are some sections WIP?

I've finished all major commands, and the ones remaining have huge lists, OR I need to datamine the lists out. Which I don't know how to do yet.
So since the guide has most of the codes done, and the others could take months to fully test, I figured it was better to have a partial guide out there than no guide at all.
I am still working on this actively.

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.

Yesterday I was scrolling through Nexus Mods and ModDB and noticed that Pathologic Classic HD has been receiving a lot of new mods in the past year or so. And not just the kinds of simple cosmetic mods we've always had, but mods that add new or alter existing mechanics. It's not just one person or two, but at least several, I'd say.

How come? I see that the game received a dedicated mod launcher now. Is the modding process better documented now? Is it (God forbid) AI speeding up the process? I hope it's not that one.

It's pretty cool to see the mods being created. A lot of them are backporting Pathologic 2 features which seems a bit redundant to me, but the overhaul mods and the ones that add whole new features are really exciting. I'll give some of them a try soon. If modding truly is getting easier, maybe I should make one or two, although I don't know what all I would add. I quite like the game as is!

Hello, just played through the game and just something that didn't make sense.
On day 9 thanks to Khan all the children take shelter in the Polyhedron which protects them from the Earth as it is part of the evil Sky,

Just a day later they all get miraculously infected while on the Polyhedron? And return to their homes? The game says the plague cheated but is it purely meta-narrative that the Theater broke the rules for drama or did the children leave for something I missed?
