PATHOLOGIC 2 Strangest Game of 2019 by tinyBuild Heading to Steam May 23

Pathologic 2 is a narrative-driven survival thriller about fighting the deadly plague in a secluded rural town. Unlike traditional story-rich titles taking players by the hand, the world of Pathologic is unpredictable, merciless and in the end, not at all what you expect. 

To celebrate the Launch Date announcement, tinyBuild GAMES made possibly the most bizarre game trailer you’ll see this year. Meanwhile here are all the news you need to know:

  • Pathologic 2 is coming on May 23 to PC via Steam
  • The Children of Gorkhon Trailer celebrates the news by showing the more bizarre aspects of the narrative-driven survival thriller
  • Gearbox will be doing retail distribution for the upcoming Xbox One version

KEY FEATURES:

  • The story of the deadly plague unfolds in only 12 days — not enough to save everyone
  • With a combination of survival and RPG elements, at its core Pathologic is a story-driven game full of questionable choices and grey morale topics
  • Unique approach to death: each time you die, it takes a permanent toll on your character and the town — and consequences cannot be undone even by loading previous saves
  • Even though the game is a re-imagination of the original cult classic title (released in 2005) — the story holds on its own, so you don’t have to play the original to enjoy the sequel
  • The team behind the game, Ice-Pick Lodge, is known for their unique style and unorthodox approach to game design

tinyBuild will be showcasing the game at PAX East 2019 this weekend in Boston. Shortly after, they will release the PAX East demo for a joyful time in a plague consumed world. 

You can wishlist Pathologic 2 right now via Steam
