"Quarantine is a free prelude to the Bachelor’s story, giving you a taste of what’s to come before the full game’s release. It’s sort of like a demo but not quite. Here, we’ll showcase fragments of gameplay mechanics and introduce the main storyline. Plus, we’ll unveil a part of the game’s world you’ve never seen before: for the first time in the series, you’ll get to explore the Capital (home of the Bachelor’s beleaguered laboratory) with your own eyes. (Also, Telman is a rat.)"

Quarantine is a free prelude to Pathologic 3 that you’ll be able to experience before the main game’s release. It’s akin to a demo version, but not quite. Our longtime followers might recall The Marble Nest—a playable teaser released before Pathologic 2. Quarantine follows a similar format but with slightly different goals: unlike The Marble Nest, which was a completely separate story, it will showcase fragments of gameplay mechanics, set the stage for the story, and pull back the curtain a bit for those curious about the game’s world.

No spoilers info from Ragnarox's Pathologic 3 Interview with Alphyna

(Information about mechanics not discussed here, to avoid spoilers)

The game is about 80% done. They're fine turning, balancing, organizing the writing and adding quests. The game is playable, but not content complete. There are about 30 people on the team, and P3 has been in development for about 2-2.5 years.

They are trying to balance the game so the difficulty sliders they added in P2 aren't necessary.

Voice acting is just like the previous game. They've gotten Daniil's previous Russian VA, and are currently (as of the time of the video) trying to get in touch with his old English VA.

Do you have to play Quarantine or earlier games in the series?

You don't have to play previous games to enjoy or get the full experience for P3. Due to the unique mechanics of P3, they think P3 might even be the easiest entry point to the series yet. You are managing different, more cerebral factors than Artemy, but you still must survive. Quarantine is not required to enjoy/understand P3, but it is recommended to help with marketing

Release Date

No specific release date is being given. It will depend on content completion, but moreso it will depend on GTA6. They are not competitors with GTA6, but its release will take so much attention, IPL can't release in the window when GTA6 is out. They have the foundations and functions to release later than 2025 if necessary, but they would rather not.

Clara route

They are absolutely planning a Clara route after P3, but they don't have the production capabilities for that right now. Currently it's just a vision document. They feel that Clara deserves her own full-fledged standalone game with its own mechanics and story just as much as Artemy and Daniil.

What to do about Dybowski...I had heard something about this on runet some time ago but didn't really know the details, so I didn't think very hard about it at the time. (Well, that's awfully lazy of me.)

Firstly, I believe the accusations, too many people are saying the same thing. Even if the details could be off, which is the only thing I could think of saying in his defense, the big picture is still there, so that's out of the way.

Second of all, personally, I've got a high tolerance for bad behavior from creators...if he wants to beat his father-in-law half to death or show up drunk to his job, I don't think there's anything I can do to contribute to his actions positively or negatively. And I think it's not bad if a sinful person can make art to contribute something to society even if everything else he does is worthless.

However, the accusations about him abusing his position to groom fifteen-year-olds are unfortunately directly connected to the things that I personally do as a fan - paying him money and attention lets him acquire social capital which he can use to manipulate people. It was due to our admiration as IPL fans that he got hired to teach, for instance. So it's dangerous to potential child victims to continue to support his games and it's one of the rare situations where, like with Rowling, fan support makes a difference in whether or not bad things are happening. (Aside from child victims, he should be leaving university students alone too - I tried dating a young university student once in my early thirties since I really liked them, and because at 18/19 I had had relationships with older men that were tolerable and it seemed pretty normal to me - but that was a trainwreck, first hand I can tell you that it shouldn't be done. It's also really bad if he's trying to sleep with young people who are interested in entering his field, he can use connections in the industry or the power he has as a professor to punish them if they don't do as they're told. If he wants to sleep with someone they should be a florist or sell phones at the mall, or at least be a game dev who has already secured her career.)

I think personally I'd be okay playing Pathologic 3 if he was stripped of his position at the university, that would make it much harder for him to do this sort of thing and it would be even more of a public scandal so people would know to watch out for him. I'm unsure of what the university is doing about this, just that they made an announcement saying that they're not suing a student for libel along with him as was rumored some time ago. So I probably won't be able to play the third game or Quarantine responsibly or make any fan content unless this gets resolved differently. Honestly, ideally he'd admit to his behaviors and quit by himself, but judging by his response to the allegations so far that's about as likely to happen as someone winning the lottery without buying a ticket.

My apologies to Bachelor that I can't help him this time...

Ice-Pick Lodge's post on Steam:

Hi everyone! We’re finally ready to share a little mischief with you, called Pathologic 3: Quarantine.

Quarantine is a free prelude to Pathologic 3 that you’ll be able to experience before the main game’s release. It’s akin to a demo version, but not quite. Our longtime followers might recall The Marble Nest—a playable teaser released before Pathologic 2. Quarantine follows a similar format but with slightly different goals: unlike The Marble Nest, which was a completely separate story, it will showcase fragments of gameplay mechanics, set the stage for the story, and pull back the curtain a bit for those curious about the game’s world.

This free prologue ties directly into the main game and partially overlaps with its intro, but has several unique scenes as well. For the first time in the series, we will see the Capital — where Bachelor’s poor lab is located. (Telmann is a traitor.)

Stay tuned for more details about Quarantine coming next year! Don’t forget to follow us on social media to grab front-row seats. And please add Quarantine to your wishlists: a small step for you — but it means a lot to indie developers like us.

Pathologic 3: Devlog #02

Video Format

Important snippets:

You Are Not a Butcher

Every game in the Pathologic series tells the story of a person in a plague-ridden town. If that person is Haruspex — a self-taught surgeon who relies on intuition, a scalpel, and his knowledge of the Steppe — you get Pathologic 2, a survival-focused game where a doctor literally plunges his hands into human flesh.

But if our protagonist is Daniil Dankovsky — a renowned medical scholar, an observer, an analyst, someone who only resorts to laboratory research in the most exceptional cases — then the story takes a different turn, and the gameplay must change accordingly.

A Chance for Salvation

Finding himself in a city ravaged by the Sand Plague, Daniil, as a true scientist, notices something strange. Some patients don’t die within five hours as they’re supposed to. Could it be that… the Sand Plague is weakened by other diseases? If that’s the case, then by studying infected patients and uncovering the cause of this anomaly, one could develop a vaccine. An imperfect, temporary solution… but what if it’s the first step towards salvation?

And so, from doctor and researcher, Dankovsky is forced to become a detective. You enter a hospital hastily set up in the town’s theater. Examine a patient’s medical file. Talk to them. Observe them. But something doesn’t add up. A misdiagnosis? Symptoms misinterpreted? Or… Are the patients simply lying?

Prepare for Consequences

But… Put yourself in the shoes of an ordinary townsperson. Would you agree to be injected with an untested vaccine during an epidemic? And that’s assuming you even understand what a vaccine is — an uneducated factory worker might not. And if people are subjected to unexplained injections every day, they will start forming conspiracy theories and even riot.

Be careful when issuing city-wide mandates and enforcing quarantine measures. Frightened citizens won’t accept overly strict rules — if you push too hard, they will come for you and kill you before you can save the town. Unfortunately, a doctor from the Capital must fight not only the plague and death itself but also his own patients. Bachelor may risk his life to save them, yet still be seen as a tyrant, a tormentor, a madman.

Important Note: Ice-Pick Lodge studio have yet to address or acknowledge the Dybowski abuse/grooming/kidnapping his own child situation.
