Studio Ice-Pick Lodge has unveiled an exciting trailer for the free prologue to the eagerly awaited third installment of their critically acclaimed "Pathologic" series. The trailer spotlights the return of the Bachelor, a young scientist who abandoned his prestigious position at a metropolitan laboratory to tackle a mysterious illness plaguing a remote town.

Dubbed "Pathologic 3: Quarantine," this narrative-driven adventure thrusts players into the role of Daniil Dankovsky, a young yet accomplished doctor facing accusations that threaten his reputation. The central question posed by the game is whether the Bachelor can alter his destiny by revisiting past choices and rewriting his story.
Mark your calendars: "Pathologic 3: Quarantine" is set to launch on Steam on March 17, 2025, promising an immersive experience that blends intricate storytelling with challenging gameplay.
