Pathogenic is a lovely top-down shooter that splices Spore, Plague Inc. and Innerspace
Pathogenic is a new top-down roguelite shooter for PC, and if you ask me, it's good enough to go viral.

InnerSpace is an adventure game released in early 2018 across multiple platforms, from PlayStation and Switch to PC and Mac. The game has largely maintained a quiet presence since launch, though it continues to draw reference points in gaming discourse. Recent coverage has cited InnerSpace as a stylistic influence on Pathogenic, a newly released top-down roguelite shooter that blends mechanics from Spore and Plague Inc. with design sensibilities comparable to InnerSpace's approach. The comparison suggests InnerSpace's aesthetic and design philosophy have resonated enough to serve as a touchstone for indie developers working in adjacent genres.
