Pathologic (2005) - Games - Facepunch Forum

[IMG]http://pics.mobygames.com/images/covers/large/1157403219-00.jpg[/IMG] So from what I've gathered from playing Pathologic which I purchased from [URL="http://www.gog.com/"]GOG.com[/URL] is that it's an open world punch-or-stab-a-blurry-textured-mannequin simulator. You slowly move around a sprawling city and sock people in the face and listen to the cries of infants as you do so, every time you attack someone the sound of an infant crying plays, and you try to make your way through this foggy low draw distance open world of brown and grey and you try to save people from suffering due to the black plague or something and you do this by socking people in the face with your hipster leather gloves. Also, the player can be chased by an emaciated masked crackhead in a catsuit during an alien invasion also during a drought.

If the translations weren't so bogged down, I'd love to get into this - but they just confuse and frustrate me. Any word on fan translations as of late?

This looks... interesting One of those games that you would play as as a young kid or know about that are incredibly niche but really fun I'd assume.

[QUOTE=echo78;44994123]I think the latest fan translation team disappeared [sp]got eaten by ghosts[/sp] like all the others. Might be wrong though.[/QUOTE] That's a shame. The atmosphere of the game was incredible. Somewhere between a mix of Morrowind and STALKER if someone sucked all the life out of it. I wanted to enjoy it more, but even the most "translated" story was giving me headaches and getting me confused later on. I've heard the other two characters are almost impossible to play, without a walkthrough, because of it.

Last I heard, they were gonna remake it via kickstarter. I'll be backing in a heartbeat when it goes up.

I tried playing this and gave up when interacting with the plot very quickly became a word salad.

This is one of the only games that despite me respecting it a ton, I'll never play it by choice. It's ingenious (I'm not entirely sure how the ending unfolds but what I do know is really creepy and clever), but it's extremely creepy, the translation is terrible, adding on to the surrealist nature of the game, and it's considered one of the most confusing, vague, and hardest games of all time. That, and the fact that it's really ugly.

Just now tried playing it and good GOD... I don't understand half of what is going on. The words and sentences they use are way overboard to almost downright confusing.
