Released in 1998, I remember when I first played Sanitarium,
as well as my anticipation at playing it. I was a recent convert
to adventures and in exploring what to play had come across it.
It sounded like nothing I had played to date, and it intrigued me.
As this was back in the days when you needed a physical copy
I searched one out. And eventually got to fire it up.

In short, “what the??” But in a very good way.

That was then and this is now, and I found it on Steam recently
and felt compelled to try it again. It wasn’t just nostalgia, but
that it still has an impact on far more modern games (Stasis and
Stangeland come to mind). 25 years later “what the” still fits.

So does “bonkers fever dream.”
