Description


Pathologic 2 is a narrative-driven dramatic thriller about fighting a deadly outbreak in a secluded rural town. The town is dying. Face the realities of a collapsing society as you make difficult choices in seemingly lose-lose situations. The plague isn’t just a disease. You can’t save everyone.



The plague is devouring the town. The chief local healer is dead, and you are now to take his place. You’ll have to look for unexpected allies. The local kids are hiding something. Try playing by their rules.

You only have 12 days.


  • 12 days in an odd town ravaged by a deadly disease.
  • Time is of the essence: if you don’t manage it carefully, it’ll simply run out. You’ll have to choose how to spend the priceless minutes you have.
  • Survival thriller. You’ll have to manage your bodily functions, offsetting hunger, thirst, exhaustion, and so on. It doesn’t boil down to scavenging resources. Surviving on your own is hard; you’ll have to win over allies.
  • An uphill battle. Managing your bodily parameters may seem bearable at first, and as time goes by, it becomes harder and harder. Your own body is only waiting for an opportunity to give up and betray you. Things are changing from bad to worse and the odds are stacked against you.
  • A duel with an enemy you can’t kill. Your main foe is the plague itself, an incorporeal and malevolent entity that you have to defeat… without having the means to. It’s more powerful and more treacherous than you can imagine.
  • Loot, murder, mug, steal, barter, beg… or don’t. You need resources to survive, and it’s up to you how to obtain them.
  • The fights are short, ungraceful, and vicious. They’re not always lethal though. Many people—yourself included—would prefer to exchange their wallet for their life.

In my first playthrough I was like a persistent rat daring its way through a dangerous street. Everywhere I went, I was met with disdain and death. It was only through trial and a lot of error, and a few deaths, that I

Pathologic 2 is perhaps THE BEST apocalyptic game in the recent time. Note that it is NOT "POST-apocalyptic", but a game happens during an apocalypse, meaning you get to experience the progressive desperation of a

This is a game about stress, time management, and difficult decisions. You are a surgeon trying to save a backwards, somewhat magical Russian village from a mysterious plague. Gameplay is basically, being given 5 tasks

Para quem viu o vídeo do Filipe Ramos e está pensando em comprar o jogo: lembre-se de tudo o que foi avisado no decorrer do vídeo, dificuldade alta, muito diálogo em texto e tudo mais. Dito tudo isso, se tiver paciência

Very intuitive and deep game. Very difficult I feel like I have to scrounge for food constantly. Punishing game to say the least but every task you DO complete feels very rewarding. A rare game that's for sure.
