Well, this is the first introductory message, so I'll explain what I'm doing here.
If you're reading this blog, then it means you know a thing or two about one particular video game named "Pathologic", it's an RPG-quest game with an open world and it has very unique and bizarre atmosphere, I, myself, always compare it to David Lynch movies: it's a personal experience for everyone and each one of you will see something different in this game, something that you detest or hold dear, which is why it's hard to explain it to someone else, when I'm asked "What is this game is all about?". Whole game is built around the idea and the very notion of despair and inevitability because your main foe in this game is none other than Death itself. Pretty formidable opponent, if you ask me. And I have to say that the way death is portrayed in this game - this approach has never been done before.
You have three character at your disposal: a Doctor with a fixation on death, Surgeon who's searching for his destiny and Impostress - mystic character, with no recollection of her past, all trying to survive in this plague-ridden town, looking for answers using their own methods.
I will not list everything that I find wonderful or unique, but I must say that I find the fact that English version of this game was translated rather... poorly, to say the least. And I'm here to change it. I love this game with all my heart and I want to share my joy with other people, who are unable to play it in Russian language, that's why I made it my mission to deliver the best possible English translation of this one-of-a-kind video game for you pleasure. So let's start.
