One should also note the various crazy, half-sane or half-dead NPCs, that you need to talk and interact.

Starts strong, but disappoints as a whole	Unicorn B. Lynx (53164)
An interesting, but unfortunately very eclectic experience	Bazilisek (25)
A bizarre graphic adventure with great potential. One of those games worth a remake.	Schadenfreude (578)
One-line summary not available	Black Wolf (37274)

Trivia

Initial shipments of Sanitarium came with a game-wrecking bug that would cause the player to get locked out of buildings in level 2. A patch is avaliable that corrects this, but a few times while playing the lockout problem still occured for me...albeit infrequently.
