Adjectives Fail to Describe this Game
Brilliant, stunning, genius, excellent, I simply can not name off enough words to describe how great Sanitarium is. Unique plot and gameplay, a colorful array of characters and settings, and something one could call "taste". The initial premise makes Sanitarium sound like any other point and click adventure game. You wake up in [insert location] with amnesia, and you must travel through [insert location] to uncover who you are and how you got there. However, Sanitarium ditches this almost 10 minutes in when you touch an Angel statue and she comes to life, transporting you to a strange little town where there are no adults, the children are all horrifically deformed, and there is constant word about a figure named "Mother". This is just one of the many colorful locations you will visit in Sanitarium, and part of the game's appeal comes from the feeling of "What's next?". I won't give them away, because they never fail to impress. Sanitarium plays from a sort of isometric view, and everything is controlled by the mouse. You move by holding down the right button and moving it in the direction you want your character to move. It sounds frustrating, but it really isn't, and it actually makes for a few action/combat sequences that work surprisingly well (and even if you die, you simply respawn at the begginning of the sequence with no consequences). You move around the enviornment, collect items, talk to NPCs, and solve a variety of puzzles. It does feature that bizzare 90's adventure game logic that expects you to think a lot differently than you normally would, and some items blend in REALLY well with the enviornments, making them difficult to see. Sanitarium isn't too long of a game, but that's not a bad thing considering what you get. I only experienced a glitch or two, and those I fixed by fairly simple means. All in all, Sanitarium is a brilliantly written and beautiful game, with ideas, people and places so strange that you'd think the developers created a machine that turns the musings of a derranged subconcious into a game. And what a game it is.
