This game has done irreparable damage to my psyche, I can't, in good conscious, recommend it to anyone. Luckily for me, this game has also completely destroyed my moral compass, everyone should go play this game right now.

Those who say this game is unfun are wrong. This is fun. For me and people who are built different. I'm on my 10th playthrough because I keep replaying all three routes with added rules to make things harder for myself. I love revisiting my silly little town with its silly little characters. I use the soundtrack as study BGM. This game changed my brain chemistry in so many different ways I cannot begin to list. If you're a normal person you're probably better off playing Pathologic 2, but trust me when I say this is something special. You got to develop a taste for it, but once you do, it will hook you in harder than anything else.

This game hates me almost as much as I love it. My recommendation is to not use a walkthrough, do what you feel is right, and accept that you're not going to be able to do every single thing. Enjoy the experience

Misery simulator. Go into it as blind as possible. Save scum - the game doesn't hesitate to kick you in the teeth even once you get your footing. Honestly the game isn't nearly as jank or outdated as some reviews will claim it to be. Treat it like an older game (review your controls from the menu asap and don't expect a world class tutorial) and you're good to go. You will come to view the devs as your friends that are also scumbags (but still your friends (but still scumbags))
