"Having said all that, Horrific Xanatorium had its moments, regardless of how short they were. The art styling was good (though I LOVED the pixel art in the credits), the concept was mostly well realized, and this is a really good first work from an up and coming designer and writer. The moments of hallucination, the fears and the inability to distinguish fact from fiction all nestled into my brain quite nicely, and I’m thrilled to be sure that I’m really here."

About
Sanatorium is a first-person adventure game where you navigate a crumbling mental institution to uncover its dark secrets. You explore decaying halls, solve environmental puzzles, and piece together fragmented memories to escape. The game blends eerie atmospherics with a narrative that twists between reality and delusion. Sparse dialogue and cryptic notes hint at a sinister purpose behind the facility’s existence. The game’s unsettling tone and mind-bending story have earned it a 78% on Metacritic. Players praise its effective use of isolation and ambiguity, particularly the ending that leaves you questioning what’s real. While some find the puzzles repetitive, the oppressive setting and psychological themes create a lingering unease. It’s a short but tightly crafted experience that lingers, with audio cues and visual decay amplifying the tension.
