2/4 endings, can be a wonderful insight into the world and introduction before attempting the game proper. It gives a much more open look at an idea of the Bachelor's route than either Pathologic 2 or Pathologic 1 allowed - the variance is stark compared to what we know to happen in either, and I found it very intriguing exploring that. Overall, I loved it - what I wouldn't give to spend another minute with the smell of twyrine and the earth biting my heels - but at points it didn't feel like I was the Bachelor; there was no distinguishing feature outside of being set in the Stone Yard from this to the base game, and taking it as something in its own right (not just a thing in attachment to the Main Performance), it feels as if it fails to allow the personality of Dankovsky to really drip through. It's probably simply a matter of the length, but again, this is me taking it as a full product In Itself - not the free DLC it is presented as. As that, it is wonderful; a small snippet into a way that could be, a day that never ends, a few hours of eternity.
