Game Description:
Sanitarium is a Adventure/Point-and-Click video game published by ASC Games and developed by DreamForge Intertainment released on 1998 for Microsoft Windows. This version has all the needed files to run on any moderm system via ScummVM.
Sanitarium (1998) is a dark, psychological point-and-click adventure game from DreamForge Intertainment, published by ASC Games. You play as Max Laughton, a guy who wakes up in a creepy, run-down asylum with bandages on his head and zero memory of who he is. The game takes you through a series of surreal, disturbing worlds—like a town full of deformed children, a creepy carnival, and alien-infested ruins—that blend horror, mystery, and emotional storytelling.
It’s got that classic late-’90s vibe: pre-rendered backgrounds, eerie ambient music, and clunky but charming controls. What really makes it stand out is the writing—half nightmare fuel, half existential drama. It’s less about jump scares and more about slowly losing (or finding) your mind. Think Silent Hill meets Monkey Island with a serious psychological twist.
This game first became playable on ScummVM v2.6.0 “Insane Escapism” (2022-08-01).
