Studio Ice-Pick Lodge has released a trailer for the free prologue to Pathologic 3, the third installment in their acclaimed series.
The trailer introduces the Bachelor, a brilliant young scientist who abandons his metropolitan laboratory to seek a cure for a devastating plague in a remote, isolated town. Initially planned as part of Pathologic 2, Ice-Pick Lodge has decided to release this Bachelor-centric content as a standalone game.
The trailer highlights familiar locations for series veterans, alongside new gameplay mechanics focused on managing the epidemic. As the Bachelor, players will explore the town, interact with its inhabitants, solve mysteries, and confront difficult moral choices.
Pathologic 3: Quarantine is a narrative adventure where players embody Daniil Dankovsky, a gifted but accused doctor. The game explores whether the accusations against him are valid, and whether the Bachelor can alter his past by revisiting his earlier decisions.
Pathologic 3: Quarantine launches on Steam March 17, 2025.
