Welcome to where time stands still. No one leaves and no one will.

Sanitarium, a psychological thriller of an adventure game, taking you deep into the deranged realm full of morbid and unsettling visions, is available 60% off on GOG.com. That's only $3.99 for the next 24 hours.

I am alone in here. I enjoy being alone. I'd prefer to be left that way. It's a little bit cold here, but I don't mind. I'm comfortable. I'm not hungry and I'm not thirsty. I don't miss my mommy. Not anymore. I think I kind of forgot what she looked like. I just want to sit here and play with my doll. In the night time the angels come to cut her open. I can hear them whispering. That's the only sound they make. Their wings are silent, just like owl's. I pretend I'm asleep. Otherwise, they might cut me open too. In the morning I'm sewing my doll up, but with each day it gets more difficult. One of these days, I won't be able to fix her and I'll have to just leave her open. Angels in the night won't have any other choice but to open me, instead. Will you come again, then? Please sir, will you come to sew me back up? I would like that. I think I'd prefer to sit here, alone and whole rather than be left open. Can you promise me, sir?

Sanitarium is one of those games that you don't forget easily. Gameplay-wise, it's a traditional adventure title with top-down isometric visuals, and not much gimmicks. But when it comes to the story, this one takes you way out of any sane man's comfort zone and puts you in the middle of an insanity-fest. Your surroundings are creepy, the characters you meet are eerie, and the protagonist has no memory of his past. Tiptoeing over the fine line that separates life and death you try to unveil the terrifying reality hidden behind the horrors of your character's visions. If that's not the perfect premise of a psychological thriller game, than we truly don't know what is.

Dare to cross over into the twisted, deranged world that engulfs all who visit the Sanitarium, for only $3.99 on GOG.com. The Classic Gem Promo 60% off discount offer lasts only until Tuesday, March 4, at 10:59AM GMT.

Crosmando: Does this game still have problems with ATI graphics cards? Last time I checked, the new ATI drivers caused the "messed-up colors" issue to reappear on Windows 7 machines, as well as messed up other games on GOG like Darkstone.
Yes, it still does and that's why there's an ATI notice on the game card itself about downgrading one's drivers.

Crosmando: Really? I don't see it.

BTW, are the problems only with Windows 7?

zeffyr: I've played it on ATI card 3 years ago and it was fine. Buy it and keep in mind, that you can use Money Back Guarantee if necessary :-)

Crosmando: Nah I don't mind, I'm the one who brought it up a while back:

I'm about due to upgrade my old GPU anyway, might as well go nvidia, I've had enough with ATI/AMD rubbish (both their processors and gpu's) and only got them for money reasons to begin with.
Should be popping back up in about 2-3 minutes. Sorry about that.

We recently updated the installer and that gave Sanitarium a bit more compatibility but there are still some niggling problems with ATI/AMD cards http://www.gog.com/forum/sanitarium/sanitariums_new_20_installer

Phaidox: Am I to understand there's absolutely no chance of Darkstone ever getting fixed, then? Ouch... The compatibility issues AMD's latest drivers have introduced must be much serious than I had originally thought.
That I do not know but we are always looking to fix our games as best as we can. Sorry if this doesn't help much :/
