Accessible horror from the late 90's
I played a lot of point and click adventure games as a kid growing up in the 90's, but I never played Sanitarium until 2018, which is a shame because it is an excellent game. It's been sitting in my backlog for many years, and I put off playing it, assuming that it would be like other adventure games from that era, full of sudden deaths (like Sierra games) or dead ends, but Sanitarium isn't like Sierra or LucasArts adventure games at all. The most immediate thing about the game is that its graphics are more like Fallout 1/2 or Planescape Torment than a traditional point and click adventure game. It's plot, fractured and divided by chapters that have you visiting wildly different areas, is appropriately messed up for a psychological horror game, and sometimes violent and gross. The atmosphere established by the game is probably the best thing about it, escpecially in the first two chapters. The game itself is simpler than most adventure games, as there is no obtuse verb menu, and the player inventory gets rid of items after you are finished with them. This solves the problem of so many adventure games, where you get stuck and are trying to use every item with every other thing on the screen. While a couple of puzzles were difficult, most of them were very reasonable. I don't want to spoil too much of the game, as I didn't really know anything about the plot going into it, and there are a lot of weird surprises. If you like adventure games, play Sanitarium.
