The game’s details:

Pathologic 3 continues the cult series about a mysterious plague in a distant steppe city. It’s a psychological detective story: you play as Daniil Dankovsky, a metropolitan physician who arrives to meet an “immortal” man, but is forced to lead the fight against the epidemic and try to save the city in just 12 days.
