This whole game (Pathologic, nowdays more known as Pathologic 1) made change my perspective on games, and this particular scene in particular left a massive mark on me. It's one of the biggest achievements I've seen in game storytelling, the only few other moments that come close are mostly from other games by the same developer.

It made me take a more academic interest in games, and more broadly, about storytelling in general. And that eventually quite heavily influenced my career. So yeah, it genuinely changed my world view, and it left a life-changing mark.

IPL games are the most underrated thing that ever happened to gaming. I miss the days where when we used to have IPL threads semi-regularly, but I suspect that shit would not fly here anymore.
Maybe when Pathologic 3 comes out, there will be some discussion for a while. It's fairly close to release now, apparently.
