Sanitarium is a psychological horror point-and-click adventure video game that was originally released for Microsoft Windows. It was developed by DreamForge Intertainment and published by ASC Games.The game uses a bird’s-eye view perspective and a non-tiled 2D navigational system.

This indistinction underlines much of the horror portrayed in the game.
