The pathogen that stripped humanity down to pure instinct was no accident.

The collapse of the world, set in motion by human will, proved irreversible. Many survived — but did all of them remain human? This is the story of a man who must overcome a series of trials to find his place in the coming chaos and preserve his humanity.

Pathogenesis: Overcome is a narrative-driven action RPG set in Russia during a global pandemic. The game blends hardcore gameplay, tactical combat, open-environment exploration, and survival elements. The world must be approached with caution — weapons and equipment are scarce, and the infected are far from the greatest threat. Armed survivors, forming violent groups and factions, pose a much greater danger.

TACTICS OVER REFLEXES

Combat is not about fast clicks, but about planning and situational awareness. Ammunition is limited and has weight, weapons wear down, and a careless firefight can quickly lead to defeat. Not every conflict is worth engaging.

Using cover, terrain, and proper positioning is critical. A single bullet can be fatal, and a reckless dash into enemy fire may become the character’s final decision.

WEAPONS AND COMBAT CONTROL

Direct control and an aiming mode provide freedom of movement and precise control in fast-changing combat situations.

Realistic ballistics, armor-piercing ammunition capable of penetrating cover, and a precision aiming system allow players to prevail even against numerically superior enemies.

An extensive arsenal of real-world firearms supports deep customization, enabling fine-tuning of ergonomics and accuracy. However, excessive attachments come at a cost — weapon weight and size directly affect the character’s mobility and handling.

EXPLORATION AND SURVIVAL

Locations are designed as open environments filled with buildings, hidden stashes, and alternative routes. Players must search for equipment, resources, and information while gradually advancing through the world and its story.

Survival elements complement the core gameplay. Injuries, bleeding, fatigue, and overall condition require attention. Medical supplies, food, and rest help recovery, but they never replace caution and tactical thinking.

ENEMIES AND CONFLICT

The infected are not zombies, but humans whose minds have been altered by the pathogen. They are fast, aggressive, resilient, and dangerous in large numbers — yet still relatively predictable.

The true threat comes from armed survivors. Using cover, maneuvers, coordination, and a wide range of weapons, they create complex tactical situations that force deliberate decision-making. Each faction differs not only in appearance, but also in equipment, gear, and tactical behavior.

DEVELOPMENT STATUS

The game is in active development. Core systems for gameplay, controls, AI, weapons, exploration, and progression are already implemented. Future updates will expand the narrative content, locations, enemies, RPG mechanics, world interaction, and further develop weapons, gear, and gameplay systems.
