Ice-Pick Lodge Discusses the Pathologic Remake

September 23rd - via: cliqist.com
Pathologic is one of those games that when mentioned to a group of gamers will cause at least one person to yelp with excitement, berate everyone else for not playing it, and lead to a seemingly endless story of how awesome the game is. That little scene has been repeated endlessly since Pathologic was first released nearly ten years ago. Although never a major seller, fans of the game are rabid; and rightfully so, the game is that good. When Ice-Pick Lodge, the developers behind Pathologic, launched a Kickstarter to remake their cult classic a lot of people got excited; including us. (Read More)

Creepy New Pathologic Trailer Is Creepy

September 23rd - via: thereticule.com
A creepy new trailer emerged at the tail end of last week for the Kickstarter version of Pathologic, a trailer which I sadly missed at first, otherwise you would have seen me talk about it much sooner. The Kickstarter for Pathologic is 13 days from closing at just under $20,000 away from being funded, and the project is bringing back all sorts of memories of when I was starting out with writing about games. Hit the break for more details and that creepy new video. (Read More)

Ice-Pick Lodge on the many lives of Pathologic

September 15th - via: thebitpulse.com
Pathologic hasn’t quite left our brains since we reported on the remake’s Kickstarter campaign last week.

The Pathologic Kickstarter Proves Gamers Have Excellent Decision-Making Skills

September 10th - via: geekparty.com

In Pathologic, everything is terrible and it's all your fault

September 8th - via: killscreendaily.com
Joining a long cultural history of depressing and game-changing fiction, the Russian game Pathologic entered the scene in 2005 to a resounding "meh, where are the guns?" from American audiences. Described by some later on as "the single best and most important game that you’ve never played," Pathologic's fatal flaw was that it got made ten years ahead of its time. Its second most fatal flaw was an atrocious English translation that made it barely understandable to aforementioned reviewers. (Read More)

Ice-Pick Lodge's 2005 horror game Pathologic is getting a remake, assuming its Kickstarter is successful. And given that it's made $127,217 of its $250K goal in a day, I see no reason to believe that it won't be. (Read More)

Secrets Of The Ice-Pick Lodge: Pathologic Reimagined

September 4th - via: rockpapershotgun.com
I’ve been waiting for a Pathologic remake for years. My reaction to the announcement of a Kickstarter campaign to fund a remake was odd. I worried, I fretted. My concern was that a re-engineered version of the game would remove rough edges, sandpaper the strange angles and anomalies, and somehow expose the whole experience as more sterile, and less esoteric and unusual than the broken machinery of the original release. Now that the Kickstarter is live, here are details of a conversation with Ice-Pick Lodge about the project and the original game. Time to cast the major concerns aside, and to embrace the horror and the beauty. (Read More)

Critically-Acclaimed Pathologic is Being Remade

September 4th - via: cliqist.com
Have you heard of the game Pathologic before? In the West, the game isn’t massively well known, though there is a devoted following for it. This is in part because the 2005 game was never officially released in Western territories (outside of a more recent GOG.com version). In either case, the experience deserves a wider audience which is why a remake of Pathologic is immensely exciting. (Read More)

Pathologic remake infects Kickstarter

September 4th - via: pcgamer.com
Pathologic is now on Kickstarter. I've already explained why a remake of 2005 open-world adventure is a good thing, and now we're that one step closer to a game that could—if we're very lucky—do justice to Ice-Pick Lodge's weird, horrifying, innovative and ambitious debut. As you might expect, their pitch video is just the right amount of creepy. (Read More)
