Pathologic Tabletop

Pathologic Tabletop was originally a reward for $80 and higher tiers of the Pathologic (2017) Kickstarter campaign; after its release, it will be sold separately.

The plot of the game is a simplified version of the videogame: "Barricades are being built in the streets, shop shelves are becoming barren, marauders are looting houses. An invisible murderer is walking through the Town — merciless, weightless, and listless. No one knows how to protect themselves against it or who is to become its next victim. Seems like the Town is doomed — yet, those of its inhabitants who are privy to the mystery of its internal structure are still trying to fight back. Their efforts and hopes are guided by the knowledge and the will of three outstanding persons" (the Bachelor, Haruspex and Changeling).

The game is meant for 2–4 players. An average session takes 60-80 min. Each player takes on the role of one of the three Healers or the Plague, each of which have their own play style. The Healers attempt to preserve their Entwined while moving through the Town, while the Plague attempts to kill certain Entwined and moves invisibly.
