## Resource

In this episode Gino, Pete, and Chris "ZombiePie" -REDACTED- discuss Pathologic 2. We cover the game's truely one of a kind story and setting as well as its unforgiving difficulty. We also talk throught the game's survival elements and odd bartering economy. Does difficulty make this game's story or does it hide some of its lack of polish? How do you evaluate a story that is told in broken chunks that are either intentionally surreal or are poorly translated? We try our best to give our answers!
