...increases exhaustion then? My bad, I almost passed out from exhaustion I think. To be honest, playing Pathologic means spending massive amounts of energy trying not to slip into despair and I can't remember the little details too well.

I just want to say that Pathologic, with its unforgiving weirdness and difficult translation, is one of my major motivations for becoming a novelist in the future. Thank you for this wonderful game, and thank you for returning to repair the translation. I have nothing but faith in you :D

As a Literature major, I've always found certain conversations in the original Pathologic to be really fascinating despite the translation issue. For example, The well-dressed man who wanders around the town who makes a bold political statement to which you can reply, "No, it is an utopia." I understand that this sort of thing may require research or a somewhat high level of literacy with More's philosophy in order to capture all of the meanings of this reply, but this strangeness and challenge is one of the reasons I keep returning to the game.

So, Ms. Alexandra the Translator, will your new translation maintain this type of intellectual challenge? Will Saburov or other opinionated citizens try to debate with the Bachelor or the other protagonists?

Damn. Looks like I'll have to find my own little pestilence town here in the US.

How much would a plane ticket cost and what's the real estate like?

I remember how confused I was the first I tried to drink a bunch of water and then almost starved to death. Will you be tweaking the way items interact with the player's status? Will it be the same system, same with small changes, or a radically different setup?
