I also sorta think re-doing the same (but different!) story again is kinda missing the point

For as much as I love Pathologic, I almost don't think it warrants the treatment it gets
A crazy Russian dude wrote a story in 2005 that can only really be enjoyed as a game
It's a much better way to do what he wanted
I think the story is better told this time too
the cool new mechanical re:zero layer is like one or two steps short of that WOAH feeling that would make it all worth it
and I can tell that's what he was going for, before he scaled it back
it's just not.... idk how to say it other than it's still feels like he's leaning into trying to make parts of the game scuffed
when 20 years later I feel like if he's still telling this same story it should be a at some sort of AA game level at least
it's part of the charm when it's an HD remake of a 2005 PC game coded in a Russian cave
and yeah, I feel like this sorta cements that he's doing a Path 4
it's a REALLY REALLY cool game
but uh, I just wish it felt more like the final version of this story, rather than Draft 7 of this ship of Theseus
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 but uh, I just wish it felt more like the final version of this story, rather than Draft 7 of this ship of Theseus (edited)
ok hear me out we get pathologic 4 which is some weird ass game
then we get pathologic 5
which is a remake of the first game, so it comes with all 3 routes bundled into a single game with 10x gimmicks

I think it would be cool if that family log included who played what
Also I'm more positive about the game now I think, or maybe I just fell back into the part of the game I really like
unironically, you should probably drink if that's the case
just go in
the fov slider also barely does anything
the difference between max and min is maybe 20 deg
settings also all default to random values
uh, I tweaked mine but I don't remember what the default felt like
no issue that I remember
though it doesn't play nice in full screen borderless with the cursor
Is that the one with the child
I have heard that name, but can't recall where
Yeah okay, I've seen her wedding dress varient
Its any gacha where the cast is 29 years old or older
according to what is comically old nowadays
depends on the audience you are considering
overall, yes of course
as far as eroge goes? Its one of the more popular ones
its not really a VN, idk how many people who play just VNs would play it
the market is more people who like porn rpgs
I think like 70% of the rance games are niche though even for people who know them, since you always hear the incorrect advice of "just skip to Sengoku its the best one"
