Surreal, atmospheric point-and-click
Sanitarium is a horror point-and-click adventure game, where you play as an amnesiac man who woke up in an insane asylum after a car crash. He tries to figure his identity and a way out, but his broken mind also conjures up alternate realities relevant with his memories, such as a circus, alien world, and Aztec village. We get to play as other characters sometimes in these realities, each with their own personalities and struggles. Gameplay follows the usual formula of finding objects and using them, also solving puzzles and minigames. One thing I enjoy is that despite being an older title, unlike many of the genre of its age, the puzzles are quite simple and logical, yet also manage to be creative due to its setting. One of my favorite puzzle is the part where we can switch characters at will, and puzzles that require their different abilities such as strength or small size. Too bad that section was too short, it should've been longer. My problem with this game is the buggy controls. It's pretty strange that you cannot click to go somewhere, you'd have to hold the right mouse button or use arrow keys, but even worse that sometimes when you launch the game or load a save, it bugs and gets stuck in the movement mode. Loading a save or relaunching the game usually fixes this, but I still don't understand what really causes or fixes this. In conclusion, if you like point-and-click games, especially the older ones, you'll have a great time playing Sanitarium. Especially if you like the ones that are a bit surreal or with a touch of horror. It's not too difficult, and not too scary either. If it doesn't launch for you as it did for me, you can simply download a different version of ScummVM and replace the one in the game folder.
