What books would you recommend for a fan of Pathologic?

>>	Anonymous Fri May 26 08:34:36 2017 No.9555546 Bumping. Got the game on a steam sale. Seems legit but I never played it before.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 26 08:37:08 2017 No.9555550 >>9555546 You gotta give it a go. Its a bit stressful and quite slow paced, but very original and well written.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 26 10:48:59 2017 No.9555915 Ligotti has a very similar atmosphere and tone.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 26 10:52:42 2017 No.9555927 Platonov's Foundation Pit maybe because of how closely the struggle in the book represents trying to play this game

>>	Anonymous Fri May 26 13:28:20 2017 No.9556406 Dostoevsky's novels have a similar feeling to it

>>	Anonymous Fri May 26 13:31:35 2017 No.9556415 Mircea Eliade, Johan Huizinga, Thornton Niven Wilder, probably good choice to you, if you really like Pathologic

>>	Anonymous Fri May 26 18:42:11 2017 No.9557554 >>9556180 It's very interesting and quite eerie. I'd recommend reading a little about the Years of Lead beforehand to really frame up the story.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 26 19:15:08 2017 No.9557735 This >>9557038 and some Ruski shit, all have the same sort of atmosphere to me. Just look for some flowcharts on the wiki or something. Also great game, one of the few that I've ever managed to enjoy.
