The development team at Ice-Pick Lodge is announcing that it is working with Gambitious Digital Entertainment and General Arcade to launch Pathologic Classic HD on the Steam, Humble Store and GOG services at some point in the fall of this year.

Gamers will be able to get a remastered version of the original title that introduces improved graphics and special effects alongside a remade script in English, re-recorded voice work and upgraded dialogues.

Pathologic was launched ten years ago and is one of the strangest video games that use classic action mechanics.

Gamers have to explore a mysterious town that's affected by a deadly Sand Plague, which seems to be connected to the local business practices.

There are three characters to choose from: the Bachelor, a doctor with extensive knowledge of diseases, the Haruspex, an amateur with a penchant for experimental surgery, and the Changeling, a girl who believes in the healing power of her own hands.

Pathologic asks players to engage with the town and its inhabitants in order to separate truth from lies and find a way to defeat the plague while saving the characters they create an emotional connection with.

A full remake of the title is also planned and will be launched in 2016, with Ice-Pick Lodge aiming to improve on all aspects of the experience using the Unity engine.
