Official Introduction Key Points

1. CELLULAR COMBAT EVOLVED
2. In Pathogenic, you are the disease. Experience a visceral 2D roguelike twin-stick shooter where you play as a lone parasite fighting a desperate war against the immune system. Your goal is simple: infect and conquer your human host.

4. CREATE YOUR OWN PATHOGEN
5. Loot, graft, and assemble your parasite from dozens of unique organelles. Combine flagella for movement, mitochondria for power, secretors for ranged attacks, and spikes for melee combat. Chain organelle effects and discover powerful synergies to build an unstoppable disease vector.
6. FIGHT THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
