This is a full, blind playthrough of the game Sanitarium. Please note that it's the first real point-and-click adventure game I've played (the other was an unfinished alpha ripped out of the net so I don't think it counts) - I don't have any experience in the genre, and it clearly shows. I speed up the parts where I get seriously stuck, though.

My history with this game is kinda weird. I has been in the back of my mind for the last 15 or so years, and all because I once read a review of it in my older brother's gaming magazine. It was written in this insane rambling style, trying to emulate the atmosphere of the game. And the game cover art also stuck with me through all this years - the thumbnail of this series, with the bloodshot eye peering from in between bandages. There was just something captivating about it, something that just couldn't leave my mind.

And even though I don't have any experiance with point and click games, I *DO* love art touching the subjects of madness, mental illness, insanity and the difficulties of processing reality and discerning it from fiction. So when I saw this game on a GOG sale once, I thought - hey, why not finally check it out. This is the result.
