Hi, friends!
Thank you for the warm welcome — it means a lot to see your support, feedback, and discussions. Nothing quite compares to the feeling of watching you unravel the surprises, mysteries, ideas, and scenes we’ve been preparing for so long.
We’re reading everything you share with great attention, and we’ll be back very soon with our near-term plans for further development and improvements.
For now, here’s a small patch of fixes:
Patch Notes:
(Important!) Fixed stuttering in in-game cutscenes.
(Important) Fixed a bug in the opening quest chain that could block progress into Day 5 when the clock hit 02:00. The first Pathologic also wouldn’t let you get far without completing key tasks on Day 1 — but we’ll happily retire that tradition this time.
You can now properly use the revolver and the Prototype after managing not to shoot yourself in the mouth with the “Debutant.” Previously, the Bachelor would get a bit… lost in that situation.
Fixed a bug in General Block’s storyline that could block access to Day 12.
Fixed something related to the Headquarters on Day 12. (We won’t say what — spoilers. It used to be wrong, now it’s right.)
Fixed the Cathedral Caretaker’s incorrect behavior on Day 3. He now behaves himself and stands where he’s supposed to.
Fixed an animation issue with the dogheads on Day 4.
Fixed the trigger conditions, texts, and logic for several “mind palaces” (the Bachelor’s reasoning chains) — in Viktor’s, Kira’s, and Grief’s sections.
Fixed a black screen appearing in Lara Ravel’s storyline on Day 4.
A bunch of small typos, loose ends, and similar issues.
This is only the first hotfix — the next one is already in the oven. So if you run into bugs or issues, please report them in the appropriate thread on the Steam Community forums or in the relevant Discord channel/topic.
Good luck defeating death!
