Pathogenic: A Mac Game of Pigeon Shooting from Root Causes

The Evolution of Cellular Warfare
In Pathogen Origin, you are the disease itself. Experience a 2D Roguelike shooter game from the perspective of a solitary parasitic pathogen, battling the immune system for survival. Your goal is simple: infect and conquer your host. To survive, you must constantly evolve. Hunt down opposing cells, plunder their cell organs, and transplant them into your own body. Start as a single-celled organism, and grow into a powerful, rule-breaking entity, becoming the ultimate pathogen.

Forge Your Own Pathogen
Scavenge, transplant, and assemble from a variety of unique cell organs. Enhance your mobility with flagella, provide energy with mitochondria, launch remote attacks with secretion organs, and engage in close combat with cell stingers. Combine cell organs to trigger chain reactions, explore powerful synergistic combinations, and unleash a disease apocalypse.

Face the Immune System Head-On
Engage with a diverse array of enemies, from basic immune cells like macrophages and T cells, to formidable opponents within the host, such as tapeworms and protists. Powerful bosses lurk deep within organs, waiting for your challenge.

Progression
Collect plasmid fragments to permanently upgrade your parasitic plasmid tree in between each game. Each parasitic body has its own unique progression tree, allowing you to craft various architectures, tailored to your preferred playstyle.

Explore the Microscopic World
Navigate through this procedurally generated organic wonderland, traversing diverse biomes within the human body: winding lung airways, rhythmic heart chambers, and intricate brain neural networks.

Feel the Rhythm of Organic Motion
We have crafted a meticulously detailed and colorful world, where every cell, enemy, and bullet possesses a unique, soothing native texture.

A blend of manual design and procedural generation ensures that every playthrough is unique, offering endless challenges and fresh experiences.
