Description
Imagine a world created out of insanity – deformed children, ancient gods, ghosts from your past in the house inside of a water reflection. You are an asylum patient and you have just survived a car crash – the problem is you can't remember anything. Visions reveal answers to some questions, but create even more riddles! Which part of it is true? What do all these things mean?

Sanitarium is one of the few psychological horror adventure games. As the protagonist you will visit five different worlds full of riddles and answers, with which you will have to figure out what exactly is happening and what is real. The story is so incredibly good and enthralling that it could easily drive a sane person mad.
  • One of the most immersive and chilling psychological horror games ever created
  • Discover what your warped mind is hiding under the veil of a psychedelic dream
  • Explore surreal worlds inhabited by crazy, half-sane and or half-dead characters

Insane

One of the best adventures ever created. Mind can be a strange place. One of the gaming magazines in my country distributed some time ago this piece of art. Worth playing.

Buggy

Sadly i cant recommend this.Theres just to many bugs and glitches.It seemed to play fine up until chapter 3 and then all it did was crash,freeze ,and id get stuck in random spots.I tried switching between compatibility modes and none of them were really a fix.Its sad because this is actually a really good game.I played it many years ago and i enjoyed it.So if you plan on getting it be prepared to deal with a lot of issues!!!
