Where did the Inquisition come from? | Pathologic Video Essay by Shain Slepian aka TimeCapsule

The Inquisition in Pathologic is an organization that created the game world as a 'death vaccine'—a simulation designed to inoculate players against the fear of death by exposing them to life's difficulties in a safe, controlled environment. The Inquisition serves as the 'umpire' of this simulation, policing the boundaries between the impossible and the possible, with different factions (like Aglaya Lilich and Mark Karminsky) representing opposing views on whether to preserve or destroy impossible objects that challenge the simulation's rules.
