Sanitarium~~

So I just stayed up all night playing this game called Sanitarium. It's an old PC game, from back when they still put them on CDs. XD (It's a 3 CD game.) But it's still good and playable, and the graphics aren't too horribly dated. XD

It's quite creepy, it starts with your guy in one of those nightmare insane asylums, complete with gibbering inmates and the guy banging his head into the wall, leaving a bloodstain... And your guy has no idea who he is or how he got there. After you manage to escape from that, you end up in a strange village where there seem to be no adults, and the kids are strangely disfigured, but don't seem to be too bothered by it. And I do mean freakishly disfigured, I'm talking "boy with two mouths" here.

Unfortunately, the game loses a lot of its creepiness in subsequent levels, but trying to figure out just exactly what is going on (not to mention trying to figure out what is real) still kept me playing to the end.

Heheh, I suppose it's the same reasons why I like Second Sight so much. It's also a game where your main character wakes up in a hospital with no idea who he is or how he got there. And he discovers he has strange psychic powers along the way, and it seems like he can change the past, too! And even though you don't wake up in the insane asylum, you do get to visit it during the course of the game. XD

I want Manhunt 2 now. XD Despite its controversial gruesomeness. XD;
