Pathologic 3 gets new difficulty modes in last major update
Ice-Pick Lodge also added a photo feature and kept the game's invisible apple tree bug, calling it probably its most famous glitch.
Ice-Pick Lodge has released a sizable update for Pathologic 3 that adds new difficulty modes, a photo feature and new ways to defeat the game's murky embodiment of disease. The studio announced the update in a Steam blog post, as reported by Rock Paper Shotgun.
Ice-Pick Lodge said the patch appears to be the last major update for Pathologic 3. It did not say what, if anything, would follow.
An invisible apple tree stays put
The developers also addressed the game's invisible apple tree bug and refused to remove it. Ice-Pick Lodge described the tree as probably the most famous bug in Pathologic 3 and confirmed it stays in the game.
The blog post referenced film critic Roger Ebert and artists Marcel Duchamp and Joseph Kosuth, whose work One and Three Chairs is cited, along with former RPS writer Quintin Smith.
Pathologic 3 is described as a purgatorial time travel story in which events must be continually rewritten.
