14 Hidden Details You Probably Missed in Sanitarium
1,639Sanitarium, a point-and-click horror adventure game from 1998, is one of my favorite games of all time. I'm not alone in that assessment, even though it seems many people have never heard of it. But even if you have played Sanitarium, you probably don't know the secrets I'm about to share in this video.

If using any of the command-line parameters causes your GOG installation to crash, try moving the location of the game to a folder in the root of your C:\ drive. I'm not sure why this makes a difference, maybe something about the length of the file path, but it worked for me.
