Summary
Pathogenic has quickly reached 100,000 sales on Steam, with player feedback climbing to an “overwhelmingly positive” rating in the weeks after launch.
Aberrant Labs’ roguelite twin-stick shooter stands out by casting players as a pathogen invading a lab assistant’s body after a dropped vial and ankle cut.
Runs progress through the skin, intestines, liver, stomach, lungs and heart, with boss fights and build upgrades driving the game’s escalating difficulty.
The strong early reception gives the indie release unusual momentum in a crowded action-roguelite market.
