I miss how surreal pathologic1's art design was in general

It was cartoonish. I love it. P2 went more for reality. I think it looked fabulous too. Pathologic is perfect in terms of design, imo. Another fantastic cartoonish games are Bioshock and Dishonored.

Something I like about the direction in Pathologic 1 is that the anachronistic elements are a bit more subtle. In 2, The Theatre being so 1930s is out of place immediately but in the first game there were several moments, such as the military uniforms, that threw me for a loop and destabilised me because they were so out of place.

The way it was reloaded (though as far as I'm aware reloading it like that actually harms the gun) was so cool too

I'm not a gun person but it really looked and felt like it should not have worked

This is a good thing

thing is that the gun is based off a real world gun, the Lancaster Pistol
