Ice-Pick Lodge has launched the first part of their three-part saga Pathologic 2 on Steam today, and naturally, a launch trailer has come along with it. You’ll find that below.

Pathologic 2 is a Narrative Driven Survival Thriller set in a world being consumed by a devastating plague.

“You are a healer, and to save anyone, you’ll have to survive in this bleak and strange world, where even food and medicine are scarce.”

As explained by Wikipedia, “The protagonist of the first part of the game is a surgeon called Artemy Burakh, also known as Haruspex. He is the son of the only local physician, Isidor Burakh, and the last few years he spent not in his native city, but in the capital, where he received medical education. One day he receives a letter from his father, where the latter says that great difficulties are coming, and that his son’s assistance would be much of use. Artemy sets off by train, encountering a strange fellow traveler, as well as having experienced several strange visions during his journey.”

“Upon his arrival at the town he is greeted by three locals trying to kill him. Somehow he manages to deal with the attackers, after which a couple of strange people in weird suits tell him that the locals suspect him of killing a very important person of the town and that the attack on him was an act of revenge. Now Artemy must find out what is going on in his native town as well as prove his innocence.”

Xbox One and PlayStation 4 releases are coming soon.
