Pathologic Classic HD

one of the worst games I've ever played, it's easily one of my favourites though. I'd recommend it for the severely mentally ill and/or those with masochism, but telling someone to play this should be an unforgivable sin

On my second playthrough, I noticed a few things. 1. The most interesting and funny dialogue is with the townspeople on the street. In most games NPCs just say lazy oneliners, but in Pathologic every day is different, and it adds to the already brilliant worldbuilding. But it is hidden behind your willingness to engage with them, as you always have more important tasks at hand. 2. MASIVE SPOILER pls don't [spoiler] Throughout Batchelor's story, you are basically (and effectively) gaslighted into committing genocide in regard to ideas that are never really proven to you, while making it seem like an even decision. You are, however, able to rebel in this symbolic theater against the Powers That Be by rewriting our own story. For me, this was a lesson in deciding my own fate in life. [/spoiler]

I can't sleep because I'm planning the routes for the next day, My dreams have creepy background music now and still I cannot stop playing

Easily the best game I have ever played. This is definitely a complex experience, and it really benefits you to look up at least the basics of how to play before you start, but I've never had a videogame story stuck in my head, taking up my thoughts to such a level. I lay awake in bed thinking about the tragic lives of these characters.

Boring walking simulator where the bulk of the gameplay consists of walking across town for 10 minutes, talking to someone briefly, then walking across town for another 10 minutes and repeating, etc. It's not particularly challenging or engaging. It's rather tedious and monotonous which is apparently by design according to supporters of the game.

i have to play this game every single year now. this is my fate. i reluctantly accept this. wouldn't recommend for most people...

in this game you walk very slowly and fight against the fighting system

this gameplay was the worst 85 hours of my life, i loved it

ohhh i get it it was all about love this whole time!

I hate it here

Don't play this game

Completely illegible, weird fucking game, play it now.

What the fuck is going on

i do not know what is going on and I think I prefer it that way
