In case you're wondering, this isn't the remake that they're working on. Just the same game, more or less, just with some technical stuff fixed up (like the translation).

I tried to play this a few years ago, the English translation was pretty rough and it felt like a lot was being lost in translation. Despite that however there was something special about it, Ice-Pick Lodge make some pretty interesting games. The Void is another good one, it's a bit difficult though. I'll definitely have to try this out.
I was looking into getting Pathologic on GoG the other day. This is excellent news.
Damn, the trailer is REALLY good.
I heard a lot of Pathologic back when it came it, it was compared to Majora's Mask a lot.
Really thrilled for this release!

Yeah, they're definitely my favorite dev at the moment when it comes to art games. Outside a few others I can't remember, they're probably one of the only ones who take gameplay-story integration into serious focus and not just make it a black and white bore simulator.

It's a lot more surreal and fucked up than Majora's Mask. The gameplay is really jank too, it's something you kind of have to get past. Very very typical of russian developed games, especially the cult classic ones.

the janky gameplay sorta works with the atmosphere, though, as it gives you the sense of "this is not a fun world"
though thankfully they're going to make the gameplay easier to handle and control (while still have a focus on struggling to survive) in the remake, so that's something to look forward to
