Hey Parasites!
Pathogenic has passed the 25,000 sales milestone within 24 hours after launch!
On top of that, our cellular roguelike shooter has reached 3,000+ peak concurrent player count. These are incredible numbers for a game made by a humble dev team of two. The pathogen truly is spreading everywhere! From the bottom of our plague-ridden hearts, a big thank you to each and every one of you for making Pathogenic such a viral (medically) success.
If you haven’t started infecting the human body, Pathogenic is now on a 20% launch discount. Be sure to pick up our game while it lasts! And check out some awesome bundles we’ve set up with other excellent indie titles, including Brotato, Voidling Bound and Everything is Crab!
We’ve also seen quite a few players discussing strategies and tips on the discussion board. Just want to mention that we have an official Discord where players talk about lore, share gameplay tips and show off crazy pathogens.
Finally, we really appreciate the glowing reviews and kind feedback so far. We can’t ask for a more active community to support our launch and help us keep improving the game. If you like Pathogenic, don’t forget to leave a review too as it really helps us push the game on the Steam (and spread the infection even further)!
Always remember, mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
