Pathogenesis: Overcome contains unfamiliar and unusual mechanics, because we consider ourselves true indie developers and are not afraid to experiment and develop new gameplay features.
A full-fledged gameplay tutorial will be added to the game later. In the meantime, I will provide a guide to the basics and nuances of the controls.
