I scrounged up a bunch of useless pathologic facts in my head (all fact checked) and put them into a quiz <3 for you, dear readers <3 contains obscure questions and answers from both games. winners are those who beat me in the last question.
After unlocking all achievements in pathologic 2 and 72 hours of playing (and that's JUST haruspex! Imagine what I will be like when (🥹) the other two campaigns come out), I have Thoughts about the game just like I did for Patho 1 that I find myself currently unable to explain but I will maybe try to find a short description for this game: a masterpiece of pain.
Also you must play imago at least once, because it's worth it. I don't know what but it is worth it. (And also once you've beaten that every other playthrough is gonna feel easier)
Just like fear and hunger 1 and 2, although I loved both games in both series, the thought of replaying the respective first one, despite my love of the ambiance and characters etc, fills me with DREAD. Replaying the second game? I'll do it. It'll be painful and annoying and maddening and I will have to be very careful it doesn't trigger my ocd obsessions about having to finish that section now and today because oh boy then I'm gonna lose 4 hours of my life in the fucking abbatoir but I will replay the game and in the end, I'll enjoy it.
Idk even with both second games not being fully completed yet, I find the experimentation you can pull in a playthrough incredibly interesting. While the respective first game is doomed to remain a somewhat unfinished beauty.

Thanks to everyone who's visited, shared, or contributed so far! I'm thrilled with the wiki's progress and excited for the next year (hopefully, we can fill in those last red links on the homepage).
To celebrate, I've written my most in-depth tutorial yet: Adding items to Pathologic. If you're interested in learning to mod P1, items are a great introduction to the game's functionality! The guide will walk you through implementing a delicious burger with onion, and installing it in grocery stores / trash cans. :-)
