Summary

Doubtless one of the very best "serious" adventure games ever made.

In this psychological rollercoaster ride, you find yourself a patient in a strange sanitarium, with no memory of who you are. Slowly but surely, as the game progresses, you gather clues and insights into the past that give you the whole picture. I don't want to ruin your enjoyment of the game, but in general, each new chapter represents another step in Max's search for his sanity. A true classic, and must-have for every adventure gamer, especially fans of psychological thrillers.

Agree with the others, unique and engaging. Lots of neat puzzles, and completely screws with your head. Get it, play it!

Own It

Somehow I ended up with a copy of this game what I remember about it were 3 things. It was first of all Really REALLY fucked up. Second of all, the storyline was really cool and the way the game was fucked up actually ended up making sense in the storyline. And third of all it was damn freaky, scary, and strange. Also its very puzzle-oriented and took a long time to get through. But since I own it I could probably put it up on the site if you guys want. Its worth playing once, it will fuck with your head a bit.

Sanitarium - Memory Review

Rating:
 
9.0

I spent a couple weeks during summer years ago playing this with my best friend Alex.

My favorite parts:

* Transforming into different characters.

* Bizarre and freaky world, including the psychological childhood shadow-world of the protagonist.

* It starts out kinda fucked up and stays that way.

* The voice acting.

* Mush Head.

This game left my mind buzzing every night. I was annoyed when Alex played through a section without me! But oh well, I can forgive him. The emotional climax of each "episode" was often quite disturbing and vivid, like a bad dream, but real and humorous enough to stick with you.

Played this last year with my girlfriend, it wasn't quite as immersive as I remember it being, but it still stood up pretty well.

I would say that's the best adventure game I've ever played. The only game that kept me and my girlfriend awake until 4 o'clock in the morning. Exciting and, in a way, terrifying plot makes it an unforgettable experience. Puzzles are very logical (no give-a-clock-to-a-carpenter-to-make-a-helicopter puzzles), there is practically no pixel hunting... Basically, if you haven’t played it, play it NOW!smilies/smiley.gif
