Sanitarium review

Exceptional

by Karen Wan

An entertaining 3Rd-person point of the click game that I can fully recommend to anyone who likes such Games. Due to its Age, it is likely to also run on Windows machines that are very poorly equipped today. The Duration of The game is about 8 to 16h. Caution: The Game has psychedelic Horror as a Background, is partly somewhat "igitt," and there are Corpses, torture, evil Clowns, Haunts and Ghosts. So Isn't for God Fanatics or healty world despots, but there should be nothing included that "media-experienced" Teenagers wouldn't have seen scarier these days. I didn't notice any sexual Content, Scenes or Innuendo. The Game also dispenses with flashy Shock-splatter scenes, most Scenes are somehow "shocking," but you have As much time as you like to pull this Horror in. The Controls take some getting used to, because it comes from the Pre-tablet era. The-few-"Action" sequences, which rarely have a Time Limit, can be repeated endlessly, but most of Them start all over again when they Fail. The Game does not store automatically, even when leaving! Save/Load is (as good as) possible at any time, but manual. You should save every now and then, I have manlotted myself at least 1 Time into a Situation where the Character was stuck on a Corner from which she never came out. You can look again at all the Film Sequences, etc. (Unfortunately, these are not listed chronologically), and there are Subtitles. However, the Sub-tiitising Area is sometimes too small to grasp the full German Texts, and sometimes the Text also subverts minimally. Otherwise, the German Implementation is impeccable. It's all read aloud. Except for what I think is the trickiest Place (the Sentence), it can be played unreservedly by Illiterate People. However, due to the additional, often erroneous, Background Noise is initially heavily superimposed And therefore difficult to understand. The Game Atmosphere often sounds like it does at a Funfair. People with limited APM or haptic Limitations will only have Problems in a few, few Places, but then need Help from someone who can handle the Mouse better. The Game has some very tricky, sometimes even slightly illogical, comic or terrible Solutions. With a lot of Patience, you can find out everything yourself. Almost always find all the necessary Hints in the Game itself, you can be seen or listened to by exactly or you have to try through or search every single Pixel for new Clues and go through some things several Times, sometimes changes The Result. If you really Get on, there are completely German Lets-Plays on Youtube, which you should not see beforehand, so as not to take the Fun on the selber cracking Of the sometimes wonderfully abstruse tasks. Some Problems in the Game are really traced, but most have a medium to low Difficulty. Logical Thinking (Paper and Pencil) is necessary for some Solutions, but only for Co-writing. Mathematics, away from counting, is not necessary. Despite or because of its Age of soon to 20 Years in Terms of game Content, this Game can easily keep up with the new "pretty" Apps of the same Kind, and easily surpass them, except in the graphic Representation.
