It is very strange indeed in consideration of what a really magnificent game Sanitarium is. I'll be laconic. Believe 32 years old creaker, you'll never find more deep, touching and smart game as this. Although Sanitarium is pretty easy as representative of adventure genre, it's full of cross-cultural references, to fully understand which is meant to be very educated and also very unhappy person. Terror of existence of a Single man against the World shines through almost every frame of the game. Part The Mansion is unbelievable. You'll meet your own beloved Big ghosts and find Mister Clown for your dying sister. And maybe you'll become a little better at the end, but if your life lead you to the game, I'm sure you are already exceptional.… Expand

   Sanitarium was one of the games that I have played in my childhood (had gotten stuck at the fountain puzzle), which always stayed with meSanitarium was one of the games that I have played in my childhood (had gotten stuck at the fountain puzzle), which always stayed with me somewhere in the dark corners of my mind. Years later, I have decided that it was time to play it through and it was a mind-blowing experience. Sanitarium is an isometric adventure game. Although categorized as horror, it is more a surreal psychologically thrilling experience rather than a scary one. Game starts in a very creepy atmosphere with very dark tones, great sound effects and music. You wake up in an asylum with no memory of your own identity. Interestingly enough, this was not the only time Sanitarium reminded me of another masterpiece, Planescape: Torment. Whether it is the isometric style, occasional surrealistic dark fantasy setting, use of a similar color palette, spectacular writing, or how much it pushes the video games as a form of art, Sanitarium (despite being a point-and-click adventure game) managed to capture a similar space in my subconscious only Planescape: Torment had before.
   
   The general psychologically disturbing tone of the game takes different turns in later chapters to the extent it may get confusing. Fortunately, the game awards the patient player with how it wraps up everything in the end into a cohesive, unforgettable story. It delves deep into sensitive subjects like insanity in a remarkable way. Sanitarium has taken the spot as my favorite adventure game ever and if you are even remotely interested in this genre, you owe yourself to “experience” Sanitarium.… Expand

The game is getting old so don't expect cutting-edge graphics but they still hold up in 2015. I've not played a lot of classic "point-n-click" adventure games so was relieved to find most all of the tasks and puzzles pretty straight forward. I only got frustrated at one or two points in the entire game. The real joy for me however, was the variation in environments. Because the PC is "crazy" the writers dump him into increasingly bizarre situations, confronting increasingly bizarre NPC's. The overall story never really develops into anything spectacular but the ride is fun.… Expand

Sanitarium gives us a good dose of mystery, but I guess that for this time it is impossible to recommend games of this type.… Expand
