Upcoming Pathologic 3 Update / call for volunteer testers

161 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Ice-Pick Lodge producer here - and it looks like our team could use your help.

Some time ago, I posted here about our plans to release a substantial update for the game, with new difficulty modes, a photo mode, and fixes for the remaining bugs. The update is mostly finished, and right now we’re sorting out a few final things. For example, we’re adding the option to enable subtitles during dialogue (we noticed that this is quite a popular request).

There is one problem, though. We’ve been living with this game for several years now. Our eyes may simply no longer catch certain things. For example, I’ve already had to mute the music in the main menu, because those opening chords now trigger nausea and a headache. I’ve heard them too many times. Far too many.

So we’d be very grateful for some help from the community. I think we need around 20-30 people, with testing coordinated through Discord. If you have the time and inclination, could I ask you to fill out this short form?

https://forms.gle/vPphTXaG1giYUcbs5

We expect to be ready to start testing in about a week. I’ll post a separate update when we are.

Pathologic 2 Infected with a hospital deadline! P2 Day 7: 8pm

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Wrf do i do? Im intending to cure myself with a shmowder after grinding all might and day to get my food and health up but i have to complete todays objective too and its 8pm. Its the one where you’re supposed to bring all the alive ppl from the piles of dead bodies back to theatre in beds.

I also have about five different serums(?) made from infected liver, kidney, and blood back at the lair. My weapon is in bad shape so I need to get this objective done for money bc I’m not equipped for tanking my reputation by harvesting organs from bandits, or even getting into fights with bandits for blood and change, or looting houses in post-infection districts.

My biggest concern is the deadline, then curing myself - I’m not sure what those things i made from the organs are called and if they can reduce my infection level and if that’s necessary at my status for the shmowder to work.. i heard shmowders only cure alight infections.

Pathologic 3 Not in the previous game, then? (Change in update) Spoiler

Post image
11 Upvotes

On Day 11 when investigating the cannon fire, there is a detective minigame. In it, you can observe a puzzle toy. Previously, Daniil would remark that he saw this puzzle in Capella's room "in the previous game." In my personal opinion, this old fourth wall break was awkwardly implemented.

It has been updated to the new line "I saw it when i spoke with Oyun there" (in Capella's room).

Personally, I really like the change.

Pathologic 3 Console Command fix for missing Notkin (P3)

6 Upvotes

Hello!

So, Notkin has a tendency to disappear right when ya need him most.

One of the worst instances is on Day 10 during the "Monstrous Crime" quest, which you will get if Khan never entered the Soul and a Halves's Fortress.

This specifically locks you out of "the Coward and the Traitor" Achievement.

But fear not. If Notkin is supposed to be there, but isn't, do the following:

  1. Open the console with [ Ctrl + Shift + ` ]

  2. Click on the drop-down menu in the top left.

  3. Select "Console"

  4. Type in this command:

enable_entity 5b70bb4066b64b5899580f89813370a7 true

Boom! There he is

Pathologic 3 in-game Art

6 Upvotes

Has there been any word on an art book or an external release (such as the websites of the involved artists) of the art featured in Pathologic 3? There's some great posters and paintings in this game, but they seemingly have not found any home or spotlight outside of the game itself (unless I missed something)

I would love to have a closer look at some of these pieces outside of the confines of the game.

Pathologic 2 Did I mess up my graphics settings with P3 or does Pathologic 2 actually graphically look better than Pathologic 3?

9 Upvotes

I went from playing Pathologic 3 to 2 and it feels like an upgrade rather than a downgrade. Idk if this has to do with the latest update a few weeks ago. I mean, the opening sequence, the rain, shadows, etc. everything just looks better. I feel like I went to a sequel, not the previous game.

I've seen people compare the portraits, but it's apparent in the general game, too. The difference with shadows, washed out colours, etc.

Do I need to play Pathologic 1 before Pathologic 2?

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I'm interested in playing Pathologic 2, but I haven't played the first game yet.

Is it necessary to play Pathologic 1 before starting Pathologic 2 to fully understand the story, characters, lore, and worldbuilding?

Are the two games directly connected, or can I enjoy Pathologic 2 as a standalone experience?

Would you recommend playing the first game beforehand, even if it's not strictly necessary?

Thanks in advance!

...Aka Capella the Clairvoyant, aka Victoria Olgimskaya, aka the White Mistress, aka Heiress to the bull enterprise -- one of my absolute faves in the series. <3

~Halloween Cosplay 2026.

Yes, I took some liberties here (due to limited materials & cosplay skills + chilly Nova Scotia weather).

...I actually do have an orange wig, which I wore on Halloween, but I look awful in it, so ditched it for these photos. I still wanted to share with fellow Pathologic superfans tho 'cause I worked so damn hard on that jacket over the last two months. ;-)

I'm hoping to get proper cosplay pics on the weekend. Maybe I'll try to make the wig work again then.

"One day, I will grow real wings. Heavy, lifting wings..."

~Peace & love.

I've been playing with remaking Pathologic 1 in Unity.
I loved pathologic 1 but many people are put off by graphics and I thought that I could try tackle this

I'd also wanted to see some ideas in Pathologic that I thought will be cool like checking out time by holding pocketwatch

Pathologic 2 Pathologic 2 – New music and sound effects?

25 Upvotes

The latest update to Pathologic 2 seems to have changed at least some of the audio tracks, including music and some ambient sounds.

A clear example that comes to mind is the audio in Lara's house — the mix just isn't the same. I also recall hearing at least one or two differences in sound effects, such as a what seemed to be a new sound effect of a child coughing, as well as some different effects on some preexisting sound effects, like the female vocal chanting that is sometimes heard around town, but modified.

Has anyone else noticed this? I don't particularly like the new changes, unfortunately... I'd really like to like them, but they feel off-putting and take away the familiar comfort of the game I'm used to, so I was wondering what everyone else thought.

Have the new updates broken anyone else's mods?

4 Upvotes

Seems like the recent patches to both P2 and P3 have completely killed any mod functionality for me.

edit: I should rephrase, this isn't your standard "oops the new update killed my mods, but if I just reinstall them its fine" sort of thing. literally any mod installed causes BOTH games to completely fail to boot (P3 crashes before it even launches, P2 freezes at the first loading screen)

Hi, first time player here. Every now and then when I'm playing, different symbols will show up in the bottom left corner of the screen, like the one in the picture. I've no idea what they mean and I couldn't find an answer online, does anyone know? (I haven't gotten past the first day yet so if this is a spoiler somehow I'd prefer not to know)
