New Difficulty Levels Added to Pathologic 3 in Latest Update

Create memories with the new Photo Mode.

Developer Ice-Pick Lodge released its Great Autumn Update for Pathologic 3. This one introduces a lot of new features that players are sure to love. One of these are the new difficulty levels.

There are actually two new difficulty levels introduced to the game. The first one is "Easy," and basically lowers the pressure of the gameplay systems. It lets players focus on exploring the story without the need to solve gameplay challenges. The second one is "Hard" and demands from players more careful resource management along with a deeper understanding of the game's mechanics. It goes without saying that "Normal" difficulty is still there, which is the original experience designed for release.

Subtitle Language Selection

The new update also now has players choose their preferred subtitle language independently of the voice acting. It's up to the players whether they want to experience the original performances with translated subtitles or prefer a different language for dialogue. What this means for example is that they can keep the Russian audio while using English subtitles.

Photo Mode

This one is sure to make a lot of players excited. That's because players can now create their very own works of art using Pathologic 3 through the new Photo Mode. The studio shared that they hope this would help players see the Town from a different perspective and maybe even capture things that the development team haven't noticed. In Photo Mode, players can adjust the scene, weather, and lighting. They can even make use of stickers. All of these to get those beautiful screenshots.

Check out the complete list of changes and improvements of the new update here.
