Reviews

“Unlike a blast-fest, television show or most movies, it leaves an aftertaste because it shows how a piece of computer code can rip the rug out from under you.”
The New York Times (March 98)

“When was the last time a game engaged that kind of player emotion?”
A- – PC Games (August 98)

“Irrational and thoroughly absorbing... Sanitarium sits high above other point-and-click graphic adventures and provides a hair-raising experience.”
A – Gamers' Republic (July 98)
