Some of you may remember Ice-Pick Lodge´s super hard and ruthless survival adventure game “Pathologic” (the 2005 edition). Well, for those who don´t.
Pathologic became a big hit back in 2005, and the fan base has grown over the years.
So when i heard that Ice-Pick Lodge had launched a Kickstarter campaign for a remake of Pathologic, like, less than two months ago.
I just knew that it would do just fine on Kickstarter. And guess what? Pathologic (the Remake) collected over $333,000 in total last month! (October 7th).
And that means that Pathologic will get released to both PC, MAC, Linux, PS4 and Xbox One. That´s great news indeed. Well, at least if you love survival adventure games.
Which i do. And the original Pathologic game was (are) a really awesome horror game. So i´m pretty excited about Ice-Pick Lodge´s Pathologic remake.
Sadly enough though, there´s no release date for the game, nor any ability to pre-order the remake via Steam. At least not at this time.

About Pathologic:
A plague breaks out in a remote steppe town full of weird local traditions. Three healers try to fight it: a scientist from the Capital, the son of a local shaman, and a half-crazed girl. Each of them has their own idea of how the terrible disease came to be, and what is real magic to one of them becomes backwards superstitions to another.
Taking on the role of any of these doctors, you’ll try to overcome the invisible evil while doing your best not to succumb to the disease, to bandits, hunger, and fatigue; scavenging and bartering for pills, bread, and milk. But it’s hard to survive in Pathologic—the remake of a ruthless and critically acclaimed Russian survival adventure game from 2005!
