unlabelledView post →I think Crow Country's biggest strength is its a dark comedy puzzle game wearing the skin of an RE clone. It's closer to Sanitarium than Resident Evil.
unlabelledView post →The last video on I Have No Mouth was actually the first "remake" of a very old mini video I made on the game 10y ago. Thanks for the wonderful reception 🙏🧡 For the next one I'm revisiting another old fossile: Sanitarium. And thematically, it's going to be IHNM's sister-essay. I'm cooking here!👨🍳

unlabelledView post →YUP! (while the team was kind enough to put me in the credits for feedback on an early build of the game, I am not speaking for them in any way, this is just my personal belief) if you want more games like it, you should check out SANITARIUM, STASIS: BONE TOTEM, and BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION

unlabelledView post →Anyone have any rogue Steam Autumn Sale recommendations? I'll start: Sanitarium, a little-known point-and-click from 1998 that is genuinely one of the greatest psychological horror games I have ever played. Runs well on Steam Deck if you mod the keybinds, too. store.steampowered.com/app/284050/S...
unlabelledView post →🩹Sanitarium (1998) – A disturbing psychological horror adventure game. You wake up in an asylum with no memory, and try to find answers. It’s a bit old but still holds up as a point and click game. Essential title.
unlabelledView post →Remember the demented circus nightmare game from 1998 called SANITARIUM? Pepperidge Farm remembers. And by that we mean we turned the soundtrack into an industrial metal EP. It's free. Check it out: error47.bandcamp.com/album/sanita...

unlabelledView post →Started playing Sanitarium (old school 90s adventure game a friend got me). It's pretty intriguing but I am def missing the conveniences of modern games (I miss you run button) Then again I have fought through tiring gameplay for a compelling premise before (looking at YOU Alan Wake 1)

I remember watching my brother play this game when I was between 7-10 (as usual, perceiving this media at the most incorrect of times). This essay hit me in a particular way. 1/?
unlabelledView post →Gooooooood morning, everyone! Today, we're going back into Sanitarium. Will I get soft-locked again? Will Sarah MacLachlan soundtrack another soft-lock? Can I get through this game without a strategy guide? We'll find out here today on the Backseat Bitch Beat! www.twitch.tv/sakura12186
unlabelledView post →Ever played a game that felt like a nightmare you couldn’t wake up from? #Sanitarium dropped you into a mental asylum, a village of deformed children, and a circus of horrors -- all to tell a story about trauma, identity, and the loss of innocence. Why does this cult classic still unsettle players decades later? https://www.goodolddays.net/en/game/Sanitarium/ #DreamForge #PCGaming #RetroGaming

unlabelledView post →I’ll check it out. I’ve played quite a few games older than me, and many of them still brought me a lot of joy despite their age. I’ve played StarCraft 1 and 2, Diablo 1 and 2, Sanitarium, Phantasmagoria, the Final Fantasy series, Heroes of Might and Magic...some game actually age really well~♥️
unlabelledView post →Whoa Sanitarium deep cut! I still think about that game sometimes.
unlabelledView post →Was it the whole game or just part of it. This is possibly a level of Sanitarium
unlabelledView post →Oh wow, I actually forgot about Commandos, but that one's also really good! Also I wonder if anyone leaked Sanitarium pre-rendered backgrounds, I remember that game being delightfully weird

unlabelledView post →If I remember Sanitarium correctly, I’ll advice anyone with children to approach with caution as the game can hit hard. Not a pretty game, not even when it came out, but a fascinating game.

unlabelledView post →I liked a few of the annoucements, Sanitarium just looked like the same game with a blur filter, but i'm glad it's getting a wider audience. Was shocked to see Ecstatica and Alien Breed Collections. Had demos for those on the first pc cover disc my brother bought in.... 1995 *dies of old age*
unlabelledView post →We were privileged to work with the team that made Sanitarium in 1998. It was more than a job to them; it was a commitment to excellence. A new video reveals how much that game had to say. They earned that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=msRV...
unlabelledView post →Oh, yeah, fair. Horror is a weird aesthetic to figure out for me, anyway. To me, a game like Harvester is gorey and creepy, but not really a horror title. A game like Strangeland fits the aesthetic in a better way than Sanitarium does, but I don't know if it's more or less fitting as horror?
unlabelledView post →Idk if it shows off the gameplay enough, but when I visited Best Buy in like 2000 I was REALLY into looking at the art on the box for Sanitarium (1998)! I couldn’t read at all, but the way the box mirrored the psyche-ness of the game was surreal
unlabelledView post →Sanitarium (7/10) A adventure game i am happy with because it is pretty straight forward.
unlabelledView post →Oh, reminds me of that game Sanitarium, of the farm/pumpink patch part of the game.
unlabelledView post →Damn, Sanitarium is a deep pull. Great game.
unlabelledView post →Sanitarium was released in 1998, and sounds like the exact same game!
unlabelledView post →Great cast for its anthology segments, but there isn't much here beyond that. My ★★ review of Sanitarium (2013) on Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/7t732l #Hooptober #Horror #Sanitarium #Letterboxd
