Game description

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.

  • One of the most immersive and chilling psychological horror games ever created
  • Discover what your warped mind is hiding under the veil of a psychedelic dream
  • Explore surreal worlds inhabited by crazy, half-sane and or half-dead characters

      I dont believe there's any connection between the game and the Seventh Day Adventist owned Sanitarium company…

      Interesting:
      Neither the Australia nor the New Zealand Sanitarium companies pay company tax on their profits, due to their ownership by a religious organisation

        While it is true that they are income tax exempt, and that they are owned by that church, the causal link is not so simple. In order to maintain their tax exempt status, Sanitarium has to be run as a charity (except to the extent that they are carrying on a business). This basically means all their profits have to applied towards a charitable purpose (something like housing the poor or whatever). Obviously this leaves a lot of room for fuggery, e.g. paying big fat salaries to executives or whatever to reduce their profits. But the same can probably be said of any charity. Also the ATO watches these things relatively closely, so you can't go completely crazy with intentionally siphoning off your profits.

        I personally would probably trust a church run charity a bit less to always do the right thing than a charity run by doctors or whatever. But that's just my moral compass.

        Anyway, main point is: it's not enough to just be run by a church. You actually have to use the profits for charity. Otherwise I'd be the Archbishop of Ozbargain and not paying any tax either.

    I was already signed to GOG emails. So just had to claim the game and it was added to my library.

  • This looks like an awesome game

    Played the demo of this in the 90's and was stunned at it.

    Very good game. Totally forgot it existed though in all the noise of those days. But always wanted to pick it up and playthrough the whole game.

    Gosh, I remember the PC gamer writeup for this.

    Along with the ads for Freespace, Final Fantasy VII, and the original GTA on the demo disc.

    • All those games take me back - good times!

  • Thank you

  • Bit of a silly question, how do i get this?

    • Found it - You have to scroll down a little on gog.com and find a button that says "Yes opt in to email"

  • It's FREE but that's about all it's got going for it….not sure why people get so excited over games made on a calculator. It's like getting a lap dance from one of the Golden Girls, 30 years ago this would of done it for me but now its really showing its age… so Nah…It's a No from me…
