Infinitely many points, but zero length.
Posting here to say that Pathologic is one of the most memorable games I’ve played, even though it isn’t exactly fun. It’s a grueling experience that really makes you feel the frustration, confusion, and desperation your character is going through.

I played through the Bachelor path on the original many years ago and was thoroughly confused by the end. I’m now replaying all three paths on Pathologic Classic HD in preparation for the sequel. I can definitely confirm the translation is much improved, and the late game is readable.

If you want an experience of a game as art, play this. If you want fun, I’m not sure I can recommend it. But this game will make you feel something.

Honestly those mechanics sound easier than the first Pathologic. You only get infected if your immunity meter drops low enough? Instead of getting infected by one of a million plague clouds running your way even if your immunity is high? That sounds much better—more predictable.
