He misunderstood the tragedians...
A 2-3 hour experience that toys with you, waving futility in your face, taunting you, and daring you to persevere anyway... something Pathologic has always excelled at. Playing as the Bachelor is never not a treat, his dialogue is as funny as ever while still managing to be unsettling in context. The gameplay is a nice way to get used to mechanics before diving into Pathologic 2, and the story it has to tell deviates enough from what we have come to expect from previous Pathologic entries that it feels like a fresh experience.
If you love Pathologic, or want to explore something a little bit different in the survival horror genre that prioritises storytelling over mechanics, then The Marble Nest is definitely worth playing. Just expect a difficulty hike if you go from The Marble Nest to Pathologic 2!
