![]() I will click it literally every time and then the other plague doctors will sigh and nod and no one else will get the reference. If Edger Alan Poe does exist in the setting, put in an option right there that’s just “I wear no mask”. Because, well, I got to the part where I was told to take off my mask because it wasn’t suitable for this sparkling clean palace where the plague wouldn’t reach and I thought “I want to say ‘I wear no mask’ but I guess my character probably hasn’t read Edger Alan Poe”. When the theme isn’t about the slow march of inevitability I think it’d be better to leave the player as much in the dark as their character, and if you don’t pay attention to the poor quarters because you’re busy focusing on the wealthy then you get to star in a low-budget reproduction of the Masque of the Red Death and terror and silence and the Waking Death will reign unchallenged among the rotting corpses littering the mayoral palace. ![]() Pathologic has a countdown because each character has a fixed plot where either they succeed at things or fail at things one of the thing that really makes it work is that when you’re playing as the Bachelor the Devotress/Impostress (I’m told the official translation of her route is very poor and important double meanings are lost, but the LP I saw was a fan translation) is actually following the same plot as if you were playing the Devotress/Impostress and you just literally failed at everything that won’t kill you outright. ![]() I’d suggest using that concept, but just track known deaths and infections.
