Pathologic 3

Pathologic 3 is a psychological horror game in which you play Daniil Dankovsky, a rationalist doctor trying to defeat death itself as the same doomed town collapses around him. It is a standalone follow-up to Pathologic 2 and a reimagining of the Bachelor route from the original Pathologic, rather than a direct sequel or prequel. Its major new distinction is time manipulation: the premise remains a 12-day plague crisis, but the Bachelor can revisit and alter key events, reflecting his obsession with control, causality, and conquering death.

The story

Bachelor Daniil Dankovsky is a young doctor from the capital. His search for the secret of immortality brings him to a remote town, gripped by a mysterious plague that will destroy it in 12 days. Now it’s up to him to explore the town itself, its past, present, and future — to find answers to his numerous questions and try to stop the relentless epidemic. (At least… that’s what he thinks this story is about. What it’s supposed to be about. What it’s always been about.)
