Sanitarium might be the best adventure game I've ever played.

Reminiscent of Torment in certain aspects: the amnesia, waking up in a crazy place, the search for who you are...

I agree. If anyone hasn't played Sanitarium yet, do yourself a favor and play this gem, and fuck Strangeland.

Summer sale started.
Sanitarium for free.
Be it noted: Sanitarium is a pretty good game - worth trying at least once if Adventure Games are your bag.
Also, do yourself a favor and play it completely blind. The story is actually very good and its very hard to talk about the game without talking about the parts of the game that make it that way.

I uninstalled Sanitarium; each and every time I launched the game, it BSOD'd my system.
You might still be able to play it. The current experimental builds of ScummVM can run the game, it should work mostly fine, or you could wait for the next regular build to be released, but either way it should be playable there, without crashing your system.

Yes I did; BSOD even as an emulated XP system. I have not yet tried SCumVM as suggested above.

Sanitarium came out in 97 or 98 so it's older than xp,win95/98 compatibility mode would be a better choice

Even so... Gog sells it (granted they just had it on giveaway last week).
It shouldn't BSOD a recent Windows OS, much less do it repeatably—or they shouldn't be offering it [yet]; no?

I do plan to try it out on my Win10 tablet.
