Hello everyone!This is Alexander Souslov, producer at Ice-Pick Lodge and game designer of Pathologic 3.The studio has been quiet for a while. We needed a moment to catch our breath. The team had no Ne…

Hi, friends!Update #6 is out. This time we tuned several noticeable things at once: improved a bunch of Mind Palaces, made the interface more flexible (all the way up to toggling the HUD with a single…

Hi, friends!Update #5 is here. We continue to methodically knock the weirdness out of the game: broken decrees and busted quests, doors that shouldn’t be open, districts you suddenly can’t enter, and …

Hi, friends!Hotfix #7 is here. In this one, we removed a particularly annoying sound effect, fixed a couple of important story bottlenecks (including ones that could break endings), and we continue ou…

Hi, friends!We have a tradition: after every release, we give out ice picks (real, physical ice picks, heavy and made of metal) to everyone who helped get the game out the door and doesn’t have one ye…
