The Town

Pathologic= The Town-on-Gorkhon (Город-на-Горхоне)—a small, remote settlement, lost in the steppe. It developed from the Bull Project—the town's meat-making industry. Unique and isolated, the Town combines various eras of history and all aspects of humanity. Good and Evil coexist equally here.
