So, any adventure games like Sanitarium?

Kurufinwe · 04-19-2007, 06:34 AM

Depends. What did you like about it?

Just about everything... I like the environment, story, how one moves around and uses items etc.

Faust is often mentioned together with Sanitarium, for its mysterious story-telling and use of adult themes.

While I definitely wouldn't call Sanitarium a horror game (its purpose was not really to scare), it was rather dark, and so you might find similar games by browsing these threads: [1], [2], [3].

Veil of Darkness is sorta like Sanitarium.

This thread only serves to once again make me curse the inavailability of Sanitarium for the past ten years in the Netherlands.

oh - and I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream - forgot that one

Sanitarium was the last adventure game I completed. Very strange game indeed. But if you liked Sanitarium you might like Planescape Torment. It's an RPG but it's strong on story.

Even though I'm not sure I know what you want, I thought I'd try and think of something a little more easily obtained, but maybe it's not what you want at all.

Bad Mojo has the same weirdness to it and it can be found on the net. Not everybody liked the controls though.

If you're after something more towards horror (without action), you might want to try Scratches and/or Barrow Hill. There are also Dark Fall - Lights Out and The Journal - I found them a bit slow (The Journal slightly better).

Happy Hunting!

Sanitarium is one of the best games ever made.

Space Quest is like Sanitarium? That's quite a stretch. Same with the other games you mentioned.
