Just when you thought flu season was over, now prepare yourself for a horrifiying adventure in a small town contaminated with a deadly plague. GMX Media announced today that it will be publishing Pathologic for PC in the UK this March.

Pathologic is a unique adventure with some role-playing elements that offers three different character experiences. Playing as either a ruthless investigator, an ingenious surgeon, or an eccentric girl with mystical healing powers, you'll enter an isolated settlement that has suffered for generations from a lethal disease. You'll need to not only survive, but fulfill your role in the fate of the town, all the while witnessing "dreadful images of a city in agony, incessant death of the infected and the dramatic tragedies of the doomed people." Making matters worse, working against you are the two characters you didn't choose to play, now acting independently to oppose you.

Featuring a non-linear plot and real-time gameplay, the town reacts to the player's actions to create a very dynamic environment. It's yet to be seen how much action Pathologic will contain, as the game seems to walk the line between adventure, RPG, and Survival Horror, but the wait to find out won't be much longer now.

There's no word at this stage on a North American publisher for the game.
