If you're a fan of adventure games then the RPG Codex has a new retrospective article for you to read. The game they look back at is called Sanitarium.
More information.

Good review. Surprising that it came from the Codex. But it was not surprising to read some of the comments - Like: If you liked this game your are (paraphrase) a moron. OTOH, those naysayers were in the minority.
For me the game was never as scary as it was advertised to be. And there was also a part that was supposed to bring tears to the eye but it did not effect me that way. At the time I felt it was a unique adventure game and liked it a lot overall. But it was never in any of my top 20 adventure game list . . . ever
But based on the review, it seems I have forgotten a lot of the stuff in the game and the graphics make me want to give the game another go.
Thanks for the link couchy.

Yeah great link to an underappreciated game, IMO. I adored Sanitarium back in the day. It wasn't meant to be scary, really. Rather, it created such unique and interesting locations and characters…the likes of which not even modern games can best in a lot of ways. A classic in my opinion, worth playing even today since it's not that long and isn't too hard.
