This game quickly became one of my favourite games of all time.
Sanitarium has one of the best storytelling i've ever seen in any videogame, most of the bizarre stuff that happens is a metaphor or a motif of the story and trauma of the protagonist, which is something i definitely didn't expect for an adventure game from 1998.
The puzzles are also really creative and well made, none of that unfair bullshit of many other adventure games at the time. Although, they can be a real challenge for many, is hard but fair.
But my favourite part has to be the atmosphere. The old 90's graphics aged "bad", but that makes the twisted world of the game much more unnerving. That, combined with the soundtrack, makes for one of the best atmospheres i've ever seen in a horror game, period.
In conclusion, Sanitarium is a game that any horror enthusiast or old adventure game fan must play, you'll definitely not leave dissapointed.
