Pathologic 3 Patch 5 Notes- January 15, 2026
- (Incredibly important!) During interrogations, a note was glowing bright green. We wanted it to be a piece of paper the player can’t read — but we didn’t want it to outshine the entire interrogation room. So we removed it.
- (Important!) As originally intended, you can no longer place the same Decree multiple times within the same day.
- (Important!) When analyzing an item in the Analyzer, the game would mistakenly show its description before analysis — even though that description changes after analysis. Fixed.
- (Important!) The Day 8 plague research storyline could reset on its own — fixed.
- Returned tobacco to the traders.
- You can view descriptions of already analyzed items in the “Artifacts” menu.
- Dialogue lines should no longer occasionally merge together. (This was caused by a typographic ellipsis we diligently used instead of three dots. There’s probably a moral in there somewhere.)
- When playing with a controller, the cursor in the Thought Map now works properly.
- Adjusted the requirements for the bull-related achievement, “Never Sits on His Hands”, and “Taboo.”
- Fixed prices when trading with Grief.
- Added a highlight to Katerina’s morphine box — the one we mentioned in the previous hotfix.
- Fixed how descriptions for some characters display in the “People” window.
- Fixed Anna Angel on Day 12 — you couldn’t talk to her.
- Made passerby dialogues one-time only. Farewell, ankle guy!
- Fixed a bunch of quest-logic bugs:
— “Mind Palaces” about mirrors on Day 10;
— proper door closing when restarting Emilia’s storyline on Day 7 (an open door could break progression — fear doors);
— if you don’t finish Katerina’s operation, it now resets correctly;
— replaced the dialogue with the mortus and the soldier in Kira’s Day 10 storyline with the correct one;
— removed the Haruspex funeral dialogue that could stick around even after the funeral;
— the Lyuricheva Street quest on Day 7 no longer resets automatically along with Karminsky’s trial. - And, as usual: typos and minor text tweaks.
