Pathologic 3 with a SteamGate subscription

Pathologic 3 is a psychological horror game where you have only 12 days to save a town from a mysterious plague.

You are Daniil Dankovsky: physician, researcher, prodigy. Your research into the nature of death has brought you to this remote town deep in the eastern steppe, looking for a man said to be immortal.

But the outbreak of a deadly contagion sweeps through the town. The immortal man is dead. You failed to stop it.

Now you must return to the beginning. Fix your mistakes. Save the town.

Every minute counts. Save them all, discover the secrets of immortality... don't go mad in the process.

Bring your medical training to bear. Observation and knowledge are your tools. Work with patients face-to-face.

Examine the sick and make diagnoses. Each patient is a unique story — and a medical mystery. They may lie, omit the truth, or hide their motives. You must separate fact from fiction, and identify the real symptoms. Step by step, you'll get closer to developing a vaccine that could change everything.

Fight for every new day. Ensure the town's survival by imposing your own rules: enforce quarantines, confiscate precious medicine, vaccinate the population, suppress riots, deploy patrols, and declare curfews.

You will make mistakes, face their consequences, and unlock new decrees. Your actions will shape the town—even if the people grow to hate you for it. Power is in your hands. It's up to you whether the streets will see gunfire or fireworks.

Made a mistake? Go back, and fix it.

Time is your tool for navigating a narrative web filled with moral dilemmas and branching paths. Rewind if you think you could have done better. Keep your eye on your ultimate goal—even if the road there is paved with sacrifices.

How far will you go to find the truth? Your mental state directly affects your actions, and even how you interpret events. Falling into apathy or wandering into mania may lead you to new insights... or to your death.
