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.

If you have played a lot of point and click adventure games in the past this one isn't going to challenge you very much. While it is a pretty simple game it is also a lot of fun. The story really drives it.
My main issue with the game is that it crashes quite a lot. Make sure you save every few minutes so you don't have to repeat things everytime there is a cutscene and the game dumps to the desktop.
This is the best game I've ever played. Too bad it can't run in in Windows 7 (The only one I was able to play with was win98 :, even tried with a Win98 Virtual Machine)
I am not by any means a point and click nut, but GOGs 5 star reviews have pointed me towards this one. The game is a very simple point and click, you dont have all the options that you would in a Lucasarts game(I like this).The game can be creepy and graphic at times but its nothing overbearing. Its an easy game with easy puzzles, easy to find items and a pretty average story. Took me 5-6 hours to complete and I cant ever see a reason to complete it again. I dont get the 5 star ratings.
I really enjoyed the twisted story and it's original presentation. But there were some downsides to much for a 5/5-rating:
- The controls. You move your character by letting him follow your cursor. Would be okay if he wasn't so terrible slow and got stuck at every edge.
- The voices. Some of them are nice, but some of them are a little too cartoonish. Aditionally, the protagonist's voice seemed a bit inappropriate to me...
- The puzzles. A bit to many end up in pixel-hunting, which is even more annoying when combined with the contols-issue.
Apart from that I really recommend this game. Maybe you should keep a walkthrough at hand for some situations. The game is not about its puzzles, it's about its plot. It would be a pitty to miss the whole experience the game offers just because of some weaknesses in the gameplay.

Subjective Review
The people who make up these stories must be a bit looney themselves. I'm not crazy, yet, but games with stories like this, and a couple more Cthulhu titles, and I might see myself picking my marbles up off of the floor. Getting to the end of this one was enjoyable. Not something I'd get all crazy about, pun intended, but something worth seeing through to the end. The puzzles are all "sensible" for the most part. The walking in a straight line using the mouse (which I totally used) can be zaney, and probably tacked on a couple extra hours of playtime because of it. Sometimes just taking a step in the right direction can be frustrating. However, any frustration is short-lived as you never die, and it never sets you back to a point that makes you start hating any difficult sequence. Just save lots when the game requires you to walk in different directions while avoiding "killer" obstacles. I'll end it with that as I'm getting tired typing with only one hand...it was all I could manage to slip out of this straitjacket.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
