As our catalog gets bigger and better every week, it’s easy to lose track of some of the awesome games that we have to offer. We’ve been running one day “Gaming Gem” promos for a while now to highlight some classic titles that don’t get the love of some of our best-known blockbusters like Baldur’s Gate or Duke Nukem 3D. To celebrate summer, for the next two weeks until July 25th, we’re going to run a Gaming Gem promo every day, so you can rediscover these lesser-known classics! Grab that plastic toy shovel and dig out gem after gem over the next 18 days. We think every game we’re going to be offering on our Summer GOG.com Gem Extravaganza will be an excellent title, and we hope you give them all a try.

How does the conceived nick strain? The fun stare embeds the design. The digital digest joins the spit past the executive negative!

What’s that, you say? We’re sounding a bit crazy? You’re probably right. Either that, or we’re writing a description for a game about being crazy. It’s anyone’s guess what’s happening. Wifflebats!

Actually, we’re taking our one-day promos to the next level.

Our very first promo is for the unparallelled Sanitarium. A frightening look into the mind of madness, you find yourself continually wondering, as you make your way through the five worlds that your insanity takes you to: is this encounter real, or only the product of a fevered imagination? You are a recent victim of a car crash, and one who has complete amnesia. You awaken in an insane asylum, and immediately you must fend for yourself in a world gone mad—unless it’s you who’s gone mad, and the world is just a reflection of that.

With a gripping, haunting story and a graphics engine that has stood the test of time (the graphics look rather like the Infinity Engine games), Sanitarium is one of those games that grabs hold of you and just doesn’t let go. Give it a try on GOG.com for just $3.99. This offer expires tomorrow, when we’ll have another hidden gaming classic on sale, so check back in to see what game we’re offering then for your hassle dashes inveigle marpuk snozznozzle.

Madness!

We'll just have to agree to disagree :)
Bought this some time ago on another account. I run a Win7 x64 desktop and it didn't like my machine. I wonder if just running it in a Vista VM would do the trick? I'll have to try that out.

TheEnigmaticT: I don't think I have an easy way to check your wishlist. But I can tell that, large as your gameshelf is, about half of the games in this promo are ones you do not currently own.
Can you say also that there will be some turn based strategy I do not have? :D

AaronAmoth: It doesn't work fine on Win7, be careful.

F1ach: Thanks for the heads up, I wanted to check this before buying. :)
Uh, I did a full playthrough on Win7 64-bit without any issues.

Same here. Bought this game last year for my Win7 laptop and never had any problems with it. I was kinda surprised to see some people complaining, but whatever their issues are, I don't think they're specifically a problem with the OS itself.
Cool Promo!

Someone stole my avatar >:D
I like this promo. I already own Sanitarium, but I'll definitely be checking back every day to see what new gems are on sale. :)
Thanks GOG, always wanted to play this game :). Can't wait for what might
come up next.

AaronAmoth: The person you quoted is me :D
Ok, maybe it's better: On win7, Sanitaium SHOULD not work fine... yes, it's better.

lukaszthegreat: ?
im confused at what are you saying here. why it should not work fine? it might not work fine but it should work fine...
Oh my god, I mean "Sanitarium SHOULD work fine" XD
Fantastic start to a promising promo! Been waiting to pick this one up for a while now. Thanks!
I swear this game goes on sale only at the times I can't aford it -.- damn you gog!
One of the best adventure games ;it ranks right up with Sierra's and Lucasart's best.
And the first major episode...the village of the children...is truly creppy and scary in a way that few games are.....
As for the person who said it has got to be better then "The Longest Journey"...I got a feeling the person just does not like adventure games. I won't get into a debate about whether Sanitaruium is better the The Longest Journey...but both are excellent adventure games.
Instabuy!
Thanks, gog, thanks a lot <3
How good is that in-game soundtrack?
I like adventure games but creepy ones are not my cup of tea.
