Thank you all for your patience, I'm still recovering from my illness, so updates are rarely released.

I will add Chinese localization in the coming days

Thank you all! Have a good game!

I want to inform you as soon as possible that a new game is already in production and a script is being written for it

This game will be completely free!

I'm not kidding, completely free!

After all the technical improvements of PATHOGEN X and other improvements, I will be developing a new game, this will be the first series of episodic horror, a page in the store that will appear soon and you can subscribe to follow the updates

I decided to inform you in advance so that you understand that the work does not stand still!

After the page appears in the store, I will release an additional announcement


So far, I will be grateful to all of you for your support and if you tell and share with your friends that PATHOGEN X is out now!, the next free game will be waiting for everyone else who will also play!!!

Thank you so much for your attention and your support!

The game is already available, hurry up to try it first while there is a discount!

I will try to fix all the bugs that you write about as soon as I can

The game was developed by me personally, with the funds that were earned from the first game
"OPEN DOOR"

I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who played my games and supported me and continues to support me further. It means a lot to me and I would really appreciate any feedback in the discussions or on the steam page regarding my game.
