Sanitarium (Old PC Adventure Game)

I just, um, "acquired" this game yesterday, and I was blown away by it. I'm normally not a huge adventure fan, but this game drew me in from the very beginning. Bear in mind that the graphics are dated, since the game came out sometime before the millennium, but they don't bring the game down in any way. The story is pretty awesome, and there are plenty of "wtf?" moments throughout. If you want to try a game that you'll almost assuredly get sucked into, check it out. I played through the whole thing in one night.

Looks like a mix between Diablo with the environment and 7 Days a Stranger with the characters.

Can you upload this? I'm pretty interested already.

Link?

I can't upload it because it's 3 discs, and would probably explode my internets. I can however provide the torrent link.

HERE

A strange thing about this game: The game itself is 3 discs, but the install is only 60 megs or so.

Gotta love PC games from the 90's.

Sorta reminds me of Eternal Darkness. I'm gonna have to get this, thanks!

I'll try uploading it if I download it (probably sometime like sunday, monday or a very very slim, chance of tomorrow morning)...but it'll take forever.

I tried to play this game when it first came out and my dad bought it, but he kicked me off, saying I was too young(and I really was, I think I wasn't even 10 yet...) But now that you guys have me all reminiscing over watching my dad play it(ok, he wouldn't let me play, but he let me watch... I don't think there's much idfference on the exposure level there...) I think I'll install it and play through. This time, my dad won't fuss about age!

Anyways, I loved this game. And I believe I remember it having a twist ending... like he went back to where he started, or the whole game never happened or something... Darn it, now I really have to play!

Even I start getting freaked out when our man starts growing extra arms.

I wish I could have played through something like this the whole night. The things it would do to my hypnagogic mind...
