      I'm literally always going to comment every time I see someone mentioning this line-it is mistranslated. Yes even in the updated TL. Daniil isn't being nearly as goofily rude as it comes off, he's telling her not to worry about HIM (because that's what she was worried about, that he was going to be executed by the Inquisition), literally just saying that she's a doomer. The line is more like, "Your spirit is crushed, Lara."

      The bachelor also likes to take what he sees as the most logical route. The stairs are in view and easy to use so why wouldn't he take them? The haruspex goes behind the scenes because his role in the town as a menkhu is largely behind the scenes. He understands the inner workings of his town, like all the backstage work in a play. And the Changling jumps off the stage instead of either exit because she... I dunno, understands that this is all a game and therefore isn't confided to the same rules as the other two?

    Ukranian Russian here, I might be able to explain the "Dragon/Leviathan" bit. So its not them using weird words just cause. The phrase Immortal Dragon has cultural connotation because our folklore and children's tales often feature a superhuman tank of a knight called a bagatir fighting various enemies, like baba yaga, koschei the "death-less" , and a dragon named zmei gorynych. They essentially created a smorgasborg of Slavic folklore as a backdrop for the story and this phrase is a small example, they combined the famous titles of two villains central in our cultural folktales, and this led to: "the dragon without death". Or a little more concisely: "the immortal dragon" as seen in the "out of place" translation. Leviathan may make more sense to English players in context but it loses depth when the cultural/nostalgia feeling is replaced by a simple overused metaphor. It isn't a fully faithful translation, but I got no problems cause this may actually be impossible without a player having intimate cultural and lingual knowledge of the origin. But yea 95% of quirky translation here is just direct or adapted translation of a creative mash of slavic slang, references, idioms, etc. used in this story to draw in Slavic players by drawing on their memories and cultural identity with clever and subtle slips to create a feeling of even further depth in the setting and and increases the game's inherent draw to that subsect of players.

      That's extremely interesting. I love the discussion around translations vs transliterations, it's just so incredibly complex when you have to weigh out what's better for the story; keeping the intention faithful to the original language or creating a clearer narrative to the non-native audience. In a situation like this I think going with the literal translation would've been the smarter option, the strangeness of the phrase in English really works for the tone and things like this also may lead to some of the audience learning details important to the game like your explanation of Slavic culture being directly tied to to it or just really cool facts in general.

      Translating culture specific terms from Slavspeak into WASPspeak:
      "Bagatyr" is just a knight errant, comes from Mongolian title "Baghatur"
      "Zmei" or "zmiy" means literally "snake", and Gorynych is the name of a multi-headed hydra
      "Baba" is a dismissive term for a woman. "Baba yaga" is just a forest hag
      So russian folklore is not that confusing... really a mish-mash of Greek, central Asian and local Tatar/Bulgar/Slavic/Baltic legends, you got common Indo-European themes like phoenixes, being called just... "hot bird", princesses turned into frogs, and the most unique things are Yaga's hut having giant chicken legs (yes, her house moves), and Koschei being a skinny old man whose immortality is hidden in a nesting doll of needle-in-an-egg that's in-a-duck which is in-a-hare. Other themes are very similar to stuff from Greek myths renamed.

      Holy hell - I just read this comment after watching the video again after ages. And that is actually relevant, becuase Hbomb even emphasises how she doesn't appear often AND she doesn't always - what does she carry? Yes, exactly, the best and most broken item in the game that is really hard to get, but she gives it to you for some flowers, presumably a resource much easier to come by than most other in the game.
      I think it's definitely intentional.

    Another thing the game doesn’t tell you - those angels made of blood? If you stand still, they won’t infect you. They just hover right next to you for a few seconds and then fly off.

What he's picked up on still might go unnoticed even to others who got all the endings, but are almost certainly what the devs were trying to communicate.

      Yeah, and this is why in one the kids are like “only children can see the polyhedron for what it is, you’ll only see a bunch of ladders and walkways” (paraphrase). It’s a commentary on how looked down upon games were as an artistic medium “for kids” at the time of its release. And seems this way it makes sense all the kids go to the polyhedron when the plague breaks out. Realistic honestly, I can totally see kids hiding from the horrors outside by playing video games. And then in two if you pick the nocturnal ending you get to go talk to all the developers who are in the polyhedron and they tell you what making the game was like for them.

    One moment that’s stuck with me from playing this game was a moment in the Bachelor Route when you need to break Artemy out of prison for one of the day’s quests. There are three guards there, and usually you’re supposed to go to Grief to get his thugs to kill two of them, while you finish off the last. I didn’t know that, and just fully committed murder on 3 innocent men just to get Artemy out. It’s the one part of the Bachelor’s route where you actually have a reputation low enough to cause you problems, unless you’ve just been murdering civilians the entire game like a weirdo.
    The part that stuck with me wasn’t the actual murder, though, but what happened after. With the prison break done, I needed to go tell all the folks in power that I’d completed everything they wanted for the day, an act that’d give you a notable reputation boost. That walk back to Vlad’s place, having to avoid the town as a genuine criminal, only to be absolved of your crimes only moments later was the slimiest a game has ever made me feel. It really sets in that ‘reputation’ isn’t truly about how moral you decide to be throughout the game, but how much what you do happens to benefit the Powers That Be.

    It's because it had all started as a play. The writer of the game and the founder of Ice Peak Lodge, Nikolai Dybovsky (the Haruspex's face is his btw) has some theatrical background and had tried to stage his play but it just wouldn't work. Once exposed to the game development Dybovsky's got the idea to make a game out of his play. He had an opportunity to present his idea to a producer who loved the script (they say he gave a couple of copies of it to his coleagues to read just for pleasure). And yes, it was just as long as an average novel, that's why the player has to read so much: there was no way to let the characters actually say all they had to. So Pathologic is basically a piece of unconventionally written literature. The author wanted to tell a story and share his ideas and just happened to get access to staff and money nesessary to create a game. so he did.

      Thanks for this information! I would love to read a translation of the original draft of the play. I'm really curious about its evolution into a video game script.
      For example, I'm guessing the Polygon wasn't in the original. The Polygon sounds to me like it is (a) a really obvious video game metaphor, and (b) a bit tacked-on, without much dialog or code compared to the rest of the game. Be nice to know if that's how it played out, or if I'm way off base.

      I'm in the artistic side of game development and a writer, its my DREAM to make a novel-like game that's not a dating sim or something of that caliber. pathologic is wonderful use of the medium because of how everyone is acting concurrently. in a book or a play, you may have a sense of the dramatic irony between scenes that gets resolved in the following chapters, but it doesn't hit as hard until you're fighting for survival and the asshole you were just playing as, a man who's shoes you've walked in and perspective understood, set the cure to all your problems on fucking fire without a second thought.
