It's the best, most fascinating game you should never play. Pathologic is the definition of a cult classic game. Its adherents will swear by it, while everyone else bounces off. There's a good reason for that: it's one of the best-written games we've covered for the show, and every mechanic is designed to be as unfriendly as possible. For this episode, we follow the Bachelor's route. Daniil Dankovsky is a thanatologist, one who studies death. He's called to a mysterious village on the Russian steppe, which is soon struck by a violent plague that seems to be evil incarnate. Come listen, even if you don't intend to play the game.

We'd like to extend a huge thanks to Matt Carney for executive producing this episode through our Patreon.

It's always a challenge when we're asked to cover a game that's actually good, because there's only so many ways to say "yeah, it works really well." So we make do. We talk a little bit about Star Wars, but that's a dry well too. What's not dry? Condoms and how they contribute to real life environmental storytelling.

Friendly little dungeon-makers.

I hope you like Fred Schneider impressions!

A bizarre game that's actually kind of cool, which also uses a nifty technology. Yep, Fjords is where it's at!
