Pathologic 2 is an Underrated Masterpiece 

The problem with the "video games as art" argument is that many mainstream media use it as a shortcut for how much video games resemble movies. The idea is that movies are art, therefore a movie-like game must be art. It celebrates easily accessible and presentable games like The Last of Us, Journey or Heavy Rain while avoiding the more obscure games that experiment with their mechanics to create something truly unique. Fortunately there are guys like you, always ready give a lesser-known gem some much needed publicity.

THE THEATER EXPANDS Also wow I never made the connection with the “spotlight” on characters in conversations. Man you make me want to replay it again already.

Ironically, Nikolai Dybowsky (the leader of Ice-Pick Lodge) promoted the idea of "games as art" long before the media began to speak about it.

i am so very sad that this game is heading for the "cult classic appreciated 10 years after it put its dev studio into the ground" status. some people were laughing at developers for saying their game is a "life-changing experience" but like, lowkey? if any game at all can be called a life-changing experience, it's this one. it stays with you. the ludonarrative coherence is unmatched and provides a uniquely haunting experience.

"Pathologic 2 is the beauty of disempowerment" - Perfectly put! Thank you so much for the shout-out!

Gather round, take your seats, watch the play unfold once more, give them a round of applause. Mandalore. Grimbeard. Ragnar. Thank you. The signal is growing stronger. The other leads might yet take the central stage in this old-new, restored theatre- after all, the tickets are selling so much better this season!

Yes please give Pathologic 2 more attention! It's a wonderful game and an Experience and y'all are missing out!!

In the original game when the camera descended to meet the children at eye level I imagined the player character squatting in front of them.

Pathologic 2 and Disco Elysium made 2019 one of the best years for video games ever. We got 2 absolute masterpieces that will forever stand out.

This game is one of those things that contributes to the "it doesn't have to be fun to be good" argument. Believe it or not some people like disempowerment games, like a good stealth game.

Not to mention they're making a Marble Nest free DLC instead of simply being a cash grab and making you pay for the other characters. All of this despite the Russian Economic Crisis. They really deserve to be helped right now.

I have panic disorder and in my first 4 hours of playing this game on the 'baby' setting, I got so so so excited by all the scary visuals but didn't feel panicked by any jump scares. I know I would not have been able to play the original. I'm grateful that there has been a lower setting added to the game. Even the pressures of dying were stemmed by my first experience of a death and I found myself actually excited by death. I also am just great at avoiding people in real life so this game worked for me brilliantly as I was told 'It's okay to avoid them'. I just feel almost like this game was made for me. I love psychological horrors but games like Resident Evil are just too technical where you have to be good at fighting. I love how this game makes you think and plan and prepare. I'm best at doing that and the strategizing to survive is something rare in games these days. The beauty of the dark scenes and the magnificently crafted characters are captivating. I absolutely love this game! Thanks for reviewing it in a good light. I've seen too many bad reviews floating around.

Holy crap, that ending melted my heart. Thank you so much.

This seems like the perfect game to play during a pandemic

i just finished this game, going from starry-eyed doctor that wants to save people into bandit that prowls in the night backstabbing sick people so i can rob their food. I am inadvertently putting my life on pedestal because i thought i could save everyone, that my life is worth more than people in the street for such hope of curing the plague. even with the good ending, 13k people are dead in my playtrough. even the victory feels phyrric, after literal mountain of corpses and sacrifices. either ending require you to sacrifice something, like in the words of Isidor Burakh: "to embrace the past is an act of love, to embrace the future is also an act of love. sadly they are not compatible and it breaks my heart"

I love the original Pathologic with all its flaws, finished it with all three characters and even started it over again. Waited years for this to come out and I bought it on release day, but I haven't been able to play it yet save for the intro/tutorial and a few minutes of actual gameplay (the combat is as awful as always and I'm getting my butt kicked by every person I come across lol). I'm just not ready yet for the huge emotional drain that I KNOW this will imply, and I probably won't be ready for a very long time. All this simply to say thanks for making this video, unique games like these deserve all the attention and recognition they can get.

"No one cares about you." The reminder we all need

I'd never heard about this game; At about 5:00 minutes in, I was convinced that I need to play this game At 17:18 I paused the video and decided that I don't need any more semi-spoiler info about the game (Sorry if I didn't watch it till the end, but I'll leave the video silently running in the background) And yes, I'm gonna play pathologic 1 as well Thanks for making these videos, you are a great creator Sorry for my late comments, I don't visit RU-vid every day Edit: I cam back to watch the last 10 minutes :D

I've never been more immersed in a game than I have with Pathologic 2 It's completely mind altering and utterly shaking

In a way, it reminds me of "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" with how complex each of the characters are, the feeling of hopelessness, and the intricate details that can be easily missed.

The best art is often difficult and uncompromising (and even a little alienating), and Pathologic 2 is no exception. Thank you for this in-depth look at one of the most powerful games I've played in the last few years, your passion for this game is positively infectious (see what I did there?). Raise the curtains once more, Mr. Immortell! The show must go on...

мое русское ухо радуется когда я слышу как автор говорит "Бурах "

CD Action, quite big and mainstream Polish gaming magazine gave P2 9+/10 score and their Seal of Quality, so maybe not everything is wrong with game journalism.

Been supporting the developers since your review of The Void, this news shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone due to the very little coverage on Pathologic 2 outside of Slavic territories. However, I have kept up to date with all of the information such as the depression in Russia, Ice Pick's heartfelt apology about having to release the game early and talks of either having to divide it into an episodic fashion or wait until later to release the whole with the possibility of the company going under before then; Six months before it's actually release on Steam. Ice Pick has made unique games to date, however the game really isn't for everyone and I recommend everyone to try it out without the expectancy of having an enjoyable experience, it's a great game that will likely never be appreciated to its full extent. Despite that, thanks for making a review on it and introducing Ice Pick to a wider audience, the company deserves some type of recognition. TL;DR Ice Pick is on the verge collapsing, these reviews are falling on deaf ears. Difficulty slider, what am I eight?

the Russian in the end - what a cute accent :)

"Trotsky murder weapon Lodge" Oh, Ragnar! 😅

your russian was actually pretty good lol

"ultimate dad simulator" never in my life did i think id hear this about a plague game and agree. Until one of your list dies early on and you see them when u die urself and cry. What i really appreciate about this game, especially as a neurodivergent person, is that after watching multiple lets plays and videos about the game to kinda feel secure in knowing what i get myself into, and still having a hard time and a completely differnt playthrough myself. I love this game and i love having gotten to play it. Im someone that usually plays everything on easy bc everything else in my life is stressful and i dont need that in my downtime, but still made myself play it on intended in my first playthrough. later on i mainly just tweaked damage dealt and taken from combat because my computer runs the game pretty badly and that makes combat barely doable sometimes and i run from every and all odongs. Still, my favourite death is getting stuck on a trash can and getting stabbed to death in a matter of seconds.

Pathologic 2 is what game as an art form in its most unique & truest way.

I'm really glad that this game is getting some more recognition lately. Pathologic 2 is one of the best games I've ever played and I will never stop being excited about it. I could write a novel about everything I love about this game. All those different, interesting and engaging mechanics that interplay with each other. That your decisions have real consequences. That you have to prioritise quests and people, because you can't save everyone. That this game really conveys the feeling of fighting an uphill battle against an infinitely stronger foe. The intense stress, dread and anxiety. All those unique "mini stories" that emerge from how you play this game and your decisions. This incredibly realised and fleshed out world with it's mythology and backstory. Its beautiful and unique presentation and atmosphere. Also this really fucking brilliant mind-map. It's a really great way to avoid people following the dreaded dotted line on your minimap. It is one of the most unique and original things ever. It does not try to emulate or evoke anything else, like so many games aim to be cinematic for example. The developer created exactly the kind of experience they wanted to, going against conventions and expectations and succeeding. It is truly art. What I believe hurt the success of the game was propably that it is really difficult to market. The kind of experience it offers won't resonate with most people at first, aside from those who played Pathologic 1. I can however really see the arthouse film and literature crowd to really enjoy this game. The type of person who enjoys exhausting, unrelenting and "difficult" works of art. People who love films like Enter the Void, The Hunt, Antichrist...heck, even the Tarkovsky and Bergman crowd would propably love this game (like you mentioned). I'd say the experience of Pathologic 2 is comparable to that of a Holocaust drama like Schindlers List or Son of Saul. Most people won't be ecstatically looking forward to it, but will recognize its greatness and appreciate the experience more than ________(insert dumb and entertaining film). I really had to force myself through the first Pathologic. One time I legitimately fell asleep while playing. And while I do love that game and it will forever have a special place in my heart (also that main menu theme is burned into my mind), I propably won't ever play it again. Pathologic 2 though was one of the most exciting and nerve-wrecking things I've ever played. I often caught myself playing way longer than intended, which rarely happens these days. And I'm really looking forward to playing the Haruspex campaign again, as well as the other characters. It might still be a bit early to say this, but Pathologic 2 could very well be my favourite game of this decade and is a contender for a spot in my Top 5 of all time. I really urge everyone reading this to give this game a try. It's not for everyone and I can totally understand if certain types of player don't like it, but for the others it might be one of the best things they've ever played.

The kids still carry all the ammo. Lmao.

"Didn't they ask us to make it easier?" "Oh... ok..."

Want to say big THANK YOU for attention to the game. Pathologic games (and all Ice-Pick Lodge games actually) take very special place in my heart, so it was really upsetting for me to see that studio is not doing well financially and i was telling about Pathologic 2 to all of my friends until they all bought it lol. Im sorry for my not so good English, but anyway thank you for your video.

I agree with you *BUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTT* The game really doesn't sit well for everyone. Unfortunately the action crowd find it boring and the walking sim crowd find it too complex. It sits at such a weird place.

As good as it clearly is, I just can't play it for one simple reason: it does what it's intended to do. Make every waking second a stress filled nightmare. The fact that time is always passing and things are always getting worse the more time you waste, the hardcore gameplay elements, etc. I am, by no means, skilled. I find most games plenty difficult on normal and some even hard on easy. I can't handle the worry of every moment. Too much for me.

You words at the end were amazing, kind and truthful i watch a lot of analysis about Pathologic just to see how people experience such example of art. I hope that they'll see your video and maybe even talk to you face to face so you could ask them anything you want to know. Продолжай в том же духе!

It should be noted that the visual component of the game is very similar to the films of Mark Zakharov. Less well known than Torkovsky, but definitely deserves attention.

What the heck? I never even heard of this game until I saw this video. And I'm a big fan of these types of games. It's almost as if someone is trying to hide the game or something. Looks great though

Oh boy, one hour of Ragnar talking about my one true love

Fantastic. I bought this a while ago, but was waiting for your video before digging in. I'm excited to start it up soon now. My video game kink lately has been games that force you to make choices and then live with those decisions. So many games have choices that are perfunctory or let you do everything, because 'player choice' is defined as 'let the players choose to do everything'. Every time I play a game where I'm looking for my child who has been abducted or is being chased by a cavalcade of wraiths; but am able to stop and clear 72 bandit camps, build camps or look for every piece of armor in the game without having any impact on things... that's when part of me withers away and dies. I greatly enjoyed Vampyr because of how it approached choices. You could mean well, but have terrible things happen. You could make a choice that would completely cut off a character's story to you. And you just had to deal with it. A little less serious, I also loved how the timer in Dead Rising meant you had to choose what you wanted to do. You can go play dress up in the mall or you can go save some survivors or fight a psychopath before the next story point, but you usually couldn't do all three.

I dont like difficulty much anymore. Im a damn casual. So ill use the sliders but this game looks too interesting to ignore.

Excellent. First Mandalore, now you. This is my game of the year, so far, and it deserves more attention and better review scores.

The irony of time being a valuable thing in the sequel, when in the first you spend WAY to much walking. what a wonderfull game

I have waited you make a Pathologic video for quite a while. Maybe 2 years by now. I'm so glad

you have been one of my favorite people on this platform since i discovered you over a year ago. you've got it all... calming, narrator voice, excellent diction and syntax, wonderful and informed opinions..... i literally can't. you are so amazing. i think i will love this. i like games that balance choice instead of making it black and white. like when i play the long dark and my decision to take one hill instead of another might mean there either are or aren't bears and i may or may not die just because of where i walked.

I appreciated the Trotsky Murder reference. Clever.

39:10 There is a fine line though. When you work full-time and life already leaves you exhausted, the last thing I wanna do is feel like playing a video game is a 2nd job.

I’m glad you acknowledged that some of us have generalized anxiety disorder and would never be able to play without being triggered. I love watching your videos and walkthroughs by other creators because it allows me to enjoy the game and it’s themes without having an impact on my mental health.

25:24 maxpayne randomly walking by meanwhile you punch fight a drunkguy

"frustration, hopelessness and despair" It's 2020. I thought art was supposed to make me feel things I DON'T feel everyday

Here are some tips if the video didn't mention them already and some ARE spoilery to some extent but not in terms of story: - - - Tip 1: Rummage through trash bins as much as you can. The bottles are needed to restore your stamina which is entirely derivative of your thirst. When the infection starts, you can fill an empty bottle to safely check if the water is safe to drink. If not, then empty the bottle out & go find another source. You will also need a lot of bottles to make a lot of tinctures in order to immunize a lot of key people. - Tip 2: If you're unsure which herbs will make which tinctures, consult the painting on the wall/table or look to Marshall Dyer's playthrough for an in-depth list of recipes. You can find most of your herbs in the marshlands outside of town near your workshop and a CRAP TON of herbs in the steppe villages far away East from town in large batches. - Tip 3: If you ever get infected, like REALLY infected, and you have a lot of health, then walk into one of those bonfires in them infected districts. From what I can gather, fire instantly kills the plague & the health risk is often better than taking a Shmowder. - Tip 4: Lockpicks on the verge of breaking, looking about less than 10% durability, WILL insta-kill people. ^^Trivia: This was hinted at one of the early side-tasks where you operate on one of the thugs which has a lockpick jabbed into his stomache. - Tip 5: If you see a nondescript chest/wooden lock-box, tucked away around a corner, alley, etc, DON'T take anything/everything unless you understand the rules. ^^^Refer to my reply to this comment if you want to spoil yourself further with Tip 5. - Tip 6: Don't be an asshole to the communities. Prices will just get worse & bartering with townsfolk isn't an option anymore. Normal folk WILL eventually attack you on sight. Now, contrary to what's explained, prices will get lower and (maybe?) better items will become available for bartering with folk, IF you are a good-boi. - Tip 7: The first few days of the plague has you running around like a headless chicken between different situations related to you but it's also a good time to prepare yourself. Get your food situated, rummage for bottles to refill your stamina-thirst bar, get yourself some lemons/coffee beans to keep you awake albeit at the cost of your health. Hoard AS MUCH nuts & oddities, like nails, spindles, beetles, etc, as you can because the children are exceptional bartering candidates, holding the most precious of medicines, bandages, bullets, YOU NAME IT! Keep in mind which person sells which item because their stock remains relatively static. There's this adult, for instance, that sells bandages for water bottles.

I was so thankful for the difficulty sliders! I really just wanted to experience all of the game without needing to pull my hair out in frustration because of the survival game mechanics that I absolutely dislike. Little sad you called it "the baby mode", but I'd rather be called a baby than not experience a good game at all. Great video!

Bought the game because I support what it's trying to do, but I have yet to play because I'm easily spooked and I don't need a video game reminding me every screen that no one cares about me.

Well, I look forward to giving Pathologic 2 a shot. I was leery of the game's difficulty initially as it seemed that it might be such a strong anxiety trigger that I wouldn't be able to play through the game... knowing that there are the adjustable levels and the nature of death and failure as being features rather than 'game-over's, I think I'll actually appreciate it. Something about this game reminds me of Baroque, an old Sega Saturn/ PS1 game with a PS2/Wii remake. Perhaps its the color pallet, melancholic tone, bizarre characters, and experimentation with death as a coda rather than a period. Thank you!

This game is the proof that you can make some insane and crazy world that makes you feel small and nothing of a hero, with a trully and really good story, like a certain japanese guy claims to do but doesn't at all.

Hello RagnarRox, this video has finally convinced me to play Pathologic, when you commented on SulMatuls playthrough to be one of your favourites, because, inbetween many reasons, he drops his big knowledge of the game on them. I instantly thought about LyingFigure he does this great Silent Hill playthroughs with so much lore explained that has made me replay those games many times, if you havent checked em out id recommend you doing so. Thanks for making such detailed and pleasant to watch videos!!!

It was yours and @MandaloreGaming 's vids that made me get this game a couple of years ago... Now it stands as one of my favourite pieces of interactive media of all time. Thank you so much.

This game sounds fantastic! I'm really into epidemiology (and love the psychological/sociological side) and this whole thing is a fascinating and oddly beautiful way to explore it.

Oh my god “Trotsky murder weapon lodge”! Incredible. Great video. I’ve played this game more times than I can count and I appreciate you taking the time to review it

I am so happy to see your video on Pathologic. You were the one who showed me the beauty of The Void and now you are taking my hand and guiding me to another masterpiece. Thank you.

27:08 As somebody sometimes struggling with over-meticulousness, I can totally get that a doctor who's not used to load firearms would load it in such a way. _He puts the bullets at the same angle,_ and although it's something usual in video games, in this case I'm thinking "Oh yes. It would bother me SO MUCH to have one bullet out of line."

I am so angry when I missed the Kickstart for pathologic 2, but I was able to grab the supporter pack. The game is amazing, loved it so much.

the first one has inspired me so much, from my drawing style to editing and pace, i love Pathologic and it's unique feel to it. Pathologic 2 have been on my wishlist for a while now and i hope i get money sooner or later. ooh damn you student life for not letting me enjoy another masterpiece. great video as always!

tysm for mentioning mental illness and how it relates to gaming. i watch a lot of games being played instead of playing them myself for that reason, even though i'm super interested in the story and atmosphere. """"gamers"""" love to rag on people for wanting to play on an easier mode but it's like... so elitist and borderline ableist. it's nice to hear someone talk about it realistically! not that i expect anything less from you- your videos are always so well thought out and insightful. i get so excited when i get a notification about a new video!

Excited I found your channel. Being infatuated with Mandalore's content inspired me to actively try to find another channel to dive into. Several months passed with no luck.. I gave up. More months passed and here I am tonight, haphazardly stumbling upon yours and of course Mandalore's comment is right up at the top. Looking forward to the future, cheers!

Комментарий, полный восторга. Да-да, на русском.

FIRST MANDALORE NOW YOU, WOW! JUST STOP SPOILING ME

I was looking at it during a sale. It told me right out that "You can't save everyone". I don't know why that line made me feel so anxious. Perhaps because I know it's want to save everyone and I won't be able to but I'll keep trying in this futile effort. It sounds silly but thinking of begging stuck in that loop made me sick to my stomach

Played this back in the first British Lockdown was in full swing because of Covid and I don't think I've had a more immersive experience.

I legit thought this was a Grimbeard video at first. You and him have basically the same tastes and it's great.

I often close 3 minute youtube videos out of boredom. 36 minutes in and I feel no boredom at all.

I've only played Pathologic Classic HD. Obsessed with that game.

I discovered the game on my Steam queue tonight and instantly it struck me as a passion project. I went to RU-vid for more information, found your video, and 2 hours later in an hour into my first play through. Thanks for the expertly done video!

I've been patiently waiting for either you or Michael Saba to make a video on Pathologic. The wait is finally over. What a great game. I'm really grateful that on my first playthrough of Pathologic Classic HD I was too dumb to figure out bandit hunting. The original might have been cheese-able but thank god I never figured it out.

The video was already great. but the decision to include this piece of Stalker's soundtrack at 48:15 just made me appreciate even more the effort you put into these videos (or should I say, video essays). Keep up the good (amazing) work!

I knew this video was going to be good... and yet it still exceeded my expectations. It was really nice to see an in-depth video discussing the mechanics and gameplay, it helps to show just how cleverly the devs used interaction to build the plot and atmosphere. Ice Pick Lodge is my favourite video game development team, and though I haven't had chance to play Pathologic 2 yet (still saving up for a gaming computer so I can actually run it) I thoroughly enjoyed the original and want to see the sequel/remake/reimagining (whatever we're calling it haha) succeed so the team can continue to make incredible experiences. Fantastic video as always Ragnar, I hope you can one day make the video you want about Pathologic's themes and story. Though if you are still struggling to put it together, maybe you could do multiple videos rather than trying to force all your thoughts into one huge project? Don't know if that would help but thought it was worth suggesting. But no matter what you do I'm probably going to watch this video over and over again, so thank you for providing always providing such excellent content :D P.S. What's this about you not tackling everything you could have in The Void video? That is one of my favourite videos of all time so if you've got more to say about this game then I want to hear it!

Thank You so much for this video. You made me appreciate this game so much more. I must admit I was struggling a lot. After playing Pathologic Classic HD, I was kinda used to some of it's patterns, so I went into this one with a strategy, and very gaming mindset. Focus on survival, do most important quest of the day, so nothing bad happens to people from my list, and go, explore more unnatural places, and aspects, and You'll sure be back with a knowledge, and a solution that will make everything better. But then, playing Pathologic 2 I got constantly frustrated. Every death, and lack of time to complete quests felt like an interruption in my perfect plan to "beat this game". When my first person was infected I was more irritated, than anything else, since it was such an inconvenience for me. Then I felt that something is wrong, and I don't play it right. I took a break, a few days later stumbled upon this video, and You really helped me get out of this game-like mindset. Now I came to terms with dying, and being punished for that, and I accepted that I may not be able to complete things, even if I'm really engaged in them. Now, when another person caught the plague I was not frustrated, but honestly scared, and felt bad for him, because I accepted, that I just may not be able to help him. It's so much better now, it stopped being a game, and transformed into something a lot more. I am this person in this situation, and I'm just trying to do my best, while accepting, that I am no hero, but just one cog in this machine, and it takes waaay more than just me, to find the solution. And that truly is the feeling no other game can give You. So thank You for helping me realize that.

There's just something unique about this game's atmosphere and feel. I need to try it soon.

the settings determining how hard specific aspects of the game is so amazing. sometimes a game is too easy in most aspects and then impossible in one specific way when you turn the difficulty up so i really appreciate that

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This game needs more visibility. So thank you for doing this. Plus, I'm always happy to see new videos from you. The love letter to VtM is still one of my favorite videos of all times.

i will never forget the tweet about dankovsky i saw when pathologic saw a resurgence in late 2021 that said, "lord almighty they are doing crazy things to this guy's cervix on twitter". characterization masterclass

I found ur channel from the video u did about the Gothic Game which is one of my all time favorites and since then I keep finding good games because of u... not too mention the intellectual challenge that u gives us on the way. Thank u

i'm the kinda person who runs on anxious when a game's too hard, but...? the kid inside of me who played 'pandemic 2' almost religiously and daydreamed about how the towns and citizens coped with an overly aggressive pathogen is utterly in love with this. i so want to check it out now!

RagnarRox, I just want to thank you for creating this content. I struggle with a bit of anxiety and depression and your videos relax me and keep me productive while I work. It's amazing finding an objective gamer that sees games on a different light and isn't looking what to hate but rather wishes to share what he loves. I gave a steam card as a present to my gf and from all the games she could have bought she got pathologic 2 because I was ultra excited to get it thanks to this review. Keep doing what you do and thanks.

i have nothing to add to the discussion, I just wanted to say this video is great edit: no wait i do have something to add. i really appreciate your take on difficulty settings and your acknowledgement that some people just cannot interact with a game in its original state for not only just attention span reasons but actual mental illness reasons i.e. anxiety.

Huh. Difficulty sliders?... OK. I can actually play this game now. THANK you for making me aware of this! I've been so fascinated by this game for ages, but with my ADHD and anxiety I simply cannot get through games that are too stressful and intense so I thought I would always be relocated to mere observing from the back seats (aka watching RU-vid videos). I'm honestly pretty excited about being able to support these incredible devs.

I tried the firs one couple of times but never managed to finish it. And I'm pretty sure that I will probably fail in finishing this one if I try it. But I decided to buy this game and support these talented people, well a big part of that decision is thx to you and this amazing video.

A LONGER video than the one on the VOID?! *takes popcorn out*

Studio from my country. I love their games. Спасибо большое.

I always thought the trash can symbolism was a metaphor to how ridiculously low are doctors wages in Russia. Anyway, thank you for this video! Love your content and IPL really needs attention and support right now, hope more people pick this game up

I'm such a scaredy cat, I would never dare to play any of these games myself. Yet, I've watched the entirety of your video essays on both Darkwood and Pathalogic 2 because I found them interesting and well written. I appreciate your discussions on the intents and effects of certain games, why they are made the way they are, and how the developers wanted the players to experience them. Art or not, how each individual can personally experience a game says something about how well the game is made and is a topic worth reflecting on. Hopefully players braver than me will now pick up this game and support the studio. Godt jobbet!

The part where you explained the water problem really blew my mind!!!! That's so damn clever. I think I actually want to experience this game now

I really love the efforts you put in at the end of your video at reading russian text and patreon names with the correct accent

petition to change the studio name from ice pick lodge to trotsky murder weapon lodge please

Didn’t need to be sold on this game or series, but your video has...resold me on Pathologic 2. I hope Ice Pick Lodge does get the success try deserve, and manage to get the other two characters out. I may have gift it to some of my friends, because I really want to see this get finished.

The perfect game while under quarantine.

Just 15 minutes ago I was thinking "Its been some time since Ragnar uploaded a video, I aire miss him" and here it is!

I'm really hoping the coverage the game has received on RU-vid will bring some kind Renaissance in terms of sales. I want IPL to be able to eat food.

omg I absolutely love that clip of the developers talking about making the game even harder

I'm definitely gonna get this game! Thanks for the video, btw.
