It seems good Pathologic LPs are pretty rare, most are "i'll play till i die" or "i'm a weird foreigner playing the german version" kind of LPs.

Yeah.  And dying happens on Day 2, if you're good playing the Batchelor or Day 1 if you're playing the Doctor.

Like seriously, good luck surviving your first fight.

[Labs]

Yeah.  And dying happens on Day 2, if you're good playing the Batchelor or Day 1 if you're playing the Doctor.

So, yeah, I'm playing as the Bachelor and as soon as the clock strikes midnight on day 2, I get a death screen. Is this a bug or something?

[olemars]

If it is a bug, I'm sure it has a deep and profound meaning.

I did not survive my first fight as the Doctor. Or the second.

[Virtz]

Yeah.  And dying happens on Day 2, if you're good playing the Batchelor or Day 1 if you're playing the Doctor.

Nope. Means you failed a critical objective for the day. Sometimes you get away with failing one, other times it's game over when the day is over.

How disturbing is this game on a scale of 1 to 10? (1 being "Yay! Happies for all!, 10 being "OH, GOD WHYYYYYYY! *gets locked up in a mental institution*)

Hmmmm. Call of Cthulu is about 9 or 10, so from what I've seen, about a 5 or 6.

Is CoC free?

I don't believe so. But everything is free, if you look for it.

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of Earth? That game was taaaaammmmeeeee. I'd put it at a 5.

I heard grown men cry at it. Cause it's hard and tedious. And fishmen randomly rape you.

[nenjin]

Oh yeah, it's hard and tedious, I won't deny that.

Just in terms of the writing and the mind-bending....that's all pretty tame. At least, for a Lovecraft fan it was. If you've never read Shadow Over Innsmouth, I suppose it would blow your mind.

But it still comes across as fairly normal most of the time. When people say is 9 or 10 on the disturbing/disquiet scale, I kind of expect something so strange it makes me feel odd to play it.

The only emotion I felt playing CoC, other than surprise a couple of times, was total annoyance.

[lordcooper]

Pathologic has made me disgusted with the actions I freely chose on many occasions.

[nenjin]

Is it, like, subtle, the way you make these choices? Or is it just kind of text options of varying degrees of horror?

[lordcooper]

Is it, like, subtle, the way you make these choices? Or is it just kind of text options of varying degrees of horror?

Sometimes subtle, sometimes not.  I've killed a well fleshed out npc for bullets while playing this.  It was the only option I could see.

When you play for the second time you see just how screwed up your previous characters actions were.
