Russian studio Ice-Pick Lodge has teamed up with Gambitious Digital Entertainment and General Arcade to release a remastered HD version of its surreal cult adventure game Pathologic to various digital platforms.
Originally released back in 2005, Pathologic blended psychological horror elements with a real-time story structure that had you trying to discover the source of a mysterious plague. It was well received critically, but Western versions suffered from translation issues, and the game wasn’t much of a looker. Pathologic Classic HD aims to rectify these problems.
”Pathologic Classic HD is an extensive remaster of the original game, featuring updated graphics and effects,” explains the team, ”while addressing the most prominent critiques of the original with a completely redone English script, brand new re-recorded voice-overs and reinstated dialogue. Released in anticipation of the Kickstarted Pathologic Remake that Ice-Pick Lodge is currently working on, Pathologic Classic HD allows gamers to experience the old masterpiece in a definitive way.”
The remaster is now up on Steam with a release date of Autumn 2015 and no price mentioned. Ice-Pick promises to reveal more in the coming weeks. Check out an announcement trailer below.
