![]() ![]() Adventure Gamers have published a review of Sanitarium and rate it as Good, meanwhile the community rating for Sanitarium is Very good. Sanitarium has a Illustrated realism style and uses a Click-and-drag (mouse) control scheme. The pcs were really off balance, not sure if the asylum-keepers were totally eeeevil or if they were actually well-intentioned. Sanitarium is an adventure game, released in 1998 by DreamForge. They saw the treatments when they put on a circus type show and got a tour afterward iirc the whole time, the doctor showing them around was talking about how "our techniques are the most modern and effective", and how "ignorance" had long prevented the use of such methods, which could help all these poor insane people. The cards form the map of the winding hallways, items scattered all over. Finding those specific items will allow escape from the Sanitarium. Considering how jumbled and laden with symbolism the game is, I thought to myself that I ought to try and pin down the meaning of the symbolism and exact plot meaning. It's allows you to bluff, in being one of the roles that exist in the game, until another player proves you wrong. Recently, I enjoyed a replay-through of Sanitarium the delightfully morbid adventure game of escaping one's own mind. The deduction mechanism of the game is very simple. This can make quirk treatment very expensive, and using the Sanitarium for this purpose is often put off until much later in the game where a player can afford regular treatments. ![]() At the start of the game, each player is dealt three to six (of 13, depending on the number of players) Safe Things cards. This game is a tribute to all the b-movies that feature a main plot inside an abandoned hospital, asylum, sanitarium, medical building wing, or haunted medical lab. The creepy visuals and descriptions of maybe horrific, maybe helpful "treatments" going on really worked to creep out the pcs. Sanitarium is a card-driven horror escape game. If you're interested in the write up of it, it begins here, when the pcs meet Timothy, a refugee from the Asylum, while they are on their way there. I found old B&W pics of an asylum for visual aids and had all kinds of creepy things going on- from magical electroshock therapy to trepanation and trepaniering. It was awesome and creepy and moody and atmospheric.
