Pros and cons of Sanitarium app for iPhone and iPad

Sanitarium app good for

This is still one of my favorite adventure games, even after all these years. I originally played this on PC in 1998 and never forgot the games haunting atmosphere and soundtrack. Now it is finally here, updated and polished by DotEmu for a new generation of gamers to enjoy.

If you finish this game without any help, probably you are a genious.

Please add Russian language! Logrus company in 1999 was translate this game for pc.

This game is fantastic: from its unique and gripping story, to its vintage isometric perspective, to its depth and originality. The only real drawbacks are the technical ones, which is really a port issue. Unresponsive prompts, and skipping out on dialogue though never really get in the way of having a good time with Sanitarium. This point and click adventure is definitely worth the purchase.

Good story with creepy things. Minus one star for hard to click active points and background noise being almost as loud as great acting/dialogue. Thanks Dotemu!

Some bad moments

Sadly its full of bugs. Keeps crashing(iphone 6 plus). Its like no one has tested it before release. No effort has been made to adapt the game ui to the touch screen. For example different options in dialogs are right next to each other, moving the character etc.

Controls were tedious, no "tap to go here" option. Sometimes control icons would disappear completely. Then, after the game crashed, the controls stopped working altogether. The character wont move at all. Shame, I was looking forward to the iPad release of this game, it was so good back in 1998.

I was super excited about this game. Pros: looks like a very faithful port of a classic adventure game. Sound is good, graphics are true to the original. Cons: I was stuck way too long in the very first screen because theres absolutely no explanation of how the controls work. The settings screen gives the option to turn "pad mode" on and off, but again, no description ofwhat that is/does.

There is a bug in the Aztec calendar puzzle. Please fix. Otherwise great game!

This game is awesome, but everyone and then it crashes. Got to level 6 or 7 and couldnt control anything, no moving, no clicking:( deleted and downloading again. Now I must start all over.. Please fix crashes and glitches

Its really cool that Sanitarium was ported to the phone. Its easy access and you can play this classic anywhere at any time. The game has a great story thats both creepy and comical at the same time, and seeing that Sanitarium came out in 1996, the graphics and sound design are pretty crisp, and if you get stuck, theres a nifty hint button. My only complaints is that every once in a while its hard to click on a specific point, and also the dialogue is both rather low and sometimes an entire quote, making you have to do it again. These, however, are small bugs that should be easily fixed. Otherwise, a great port!!!
