PHOSEPO has announced that its upcoming mystery adventure game, Patho Detective, will be showcased at the Steam Next Fest, and has released a trailer.
In this game, a deadly game unfolds involving “Pathos,” individuals who possess the ability to “infect” others with their own cognitive impairments. While logical puzzle-solving akin to traditional mystery adventures is present, players must also consider that the world they perceive may be distorted by Pathos—requiring them to solve mysteries while accounting for this psychological manipulation.
