Мор — авторский сюжетный арт-триллер, рассказывающий о борьбе с эпидемией смертельной болезни в далеком степном городке. Город гибнет на глазах. Приходится принимать тяжёлые решения — иногда заведомо проигрышные. Песочная язва — это не просто болезнь. Всех не спасти.

Isn't even good, but it's the best game
I often describe Pathologic by saying "it's not even a good game, but it's the best game". I think this is the shortest way to capture the unique position this game occupies. It has artistic depth that is indescribable in a review. It electrifies my imagination and sucks me into an otherworldly atmosphere. One that is so rarely seen in video games. Much lengthier and more in-depth reviews have opined on it to the point of considering it the most important game in terms of its artistic caliber. But on the other hand the gameplay when judged coldly is merely mediocre. It can easily be boring. It doesn't even try to not be boring sometimes. It embraces being boring just to lull you into a false sense of security and then give you a hot load of existential dread and urgency. But that doesn't make a lot of the game not-boring. Or arduous. Not a good kind of arduous. If you're not the kind of person that gets sucked into the plot of games, these failures can be insurmountable and defeat your enjoyment of the game. But I'd like to make it clear that this is by no means a walking simulator or an "art game". It does what all good games should - which is that it uses gameplay to express itself. It is something that could never exist as a book, or an animation, or a movie. The feelings it gives you exist because of how it uses your interactions with the world and the stress of your decisions. It's rather masterful.
