Frequently Asked Questions
Pathologic 3 is a first-person psychological horror and survival game where you play as Daniil Dankovsky, a physician with only 12 days to save a plague-ridden town through medical diagnosis, political decisions, and time manipulation. Developed by Ice-Pick Lodge, Pathologic 3 combines narrative-driven survival with moral dilemmas and strategic resource management.
Pathologic 3 lets you jump forward to see future consequences, then return to earlier days to change your decisionsâbut it costs rare Amalgam resources. This mechanic allows experimental play without permanent failure, making Pathologic 3 more accessible while maintaining tension.
In Pathologic 3, you issue orders like isolation, curfews, and patrols to control plague spread. These decisions affect city morale, political alliances, and survival outcomesâthere are no perfect choices, only trade-offs.
Yes, Pathologic 3 follows the Bachelor's campaign and is designed as a standalone experience. While knowledge of earlier games enriches the lore, Pathologic 3 introduces all core systems and story elements from scratch.
Pathologic 3 uses a realistic diagnosis system: you examine patients, cross-reference symptoms, make clinical judgments, and prescribe treatments. Wrong diagnoses waste precious resources and can lead to deaths, so attention to detail is critical.
Pathologic 3 is intentionally challengingâresource scarcity, time pressure, and moral ambiguity are core to the experience. However, the time-jump feature and Mind Map system help players learn from mistakes without starting over, making Pathologic 3 more forgiving than previous entries.
Pathologic 3 officially supports English, Russian (Đ ŃŃŃĐșĐžĐč), and Spanish (Español) at launch. The game's atmospheric dialogue and medical terminology benefit from high-quality localization in all supported languages.
Pathologic 3 is available on Steam for PC and PlayStation 5, with an Xbox Series version launching January 23, 2026. The game is also available DRM-free on GOG for those who prefer offline ownership.
