Sanitarium for Android
I've always wanted to play this game and am incredibly with everything. The only small issue is if you're playing with a tablet that has a keyboard that can connect it will close the App and will not let you movie the main character with the mouse or log you out if you try. But it's still worth the purchase and I highly recommend for any horror fans!
It has glitches it would not download to my samsung note 8 tablet after 5 attempts it did, It downloaded on my lg tribute 5 the 1st try. It's a great port though thank you you guys are doing a great job.
You get maximum points for full screen options. There's many games on play store that don't offer that and they leave you stuck with annoying bars on side. Keep up the great work with options in your games. btw there's a bug where sometimes dialogue will skip and you'll need to select it again but sometimes you can't repeat so you miss what character says. Please fix.
One problem I have is that there is a color glitch that doesn't clear up and it makes the colors look faded as if there is a blue filter over the screen. It will clear up for a split sec when I press the volume buttons but goes right back to looking blue and faded. Also all my action buttons are red such As the hand, eye and menu buttons. I am on Marshmallow 6.01 on an LG GPad X8.0 with no special gfx tweaks. Please fix. (Found a temp fix: Go to Dev options and enable force 4x MSAA)
I play on a 4.5 inch screen, which tends to make some small details on the environment very hard to click (and they might be critical to advance the game). A zoom gesture would be nice. Also, at random times some lines of dialog are skipped before they finish. Sometimes you can replay them to see what was missed, but it is moderately annoying. Otherwise a very nice game.
DEVELOPER NEEDS TO READ THE REVIEW COMMENTS. There are a number of us that have red screen borders and the rest of the screen is tinted blue. It's so bad that it's unplayable. Suggested fix of enabling 4xMSAA by another user does not work. Want a fix, or otherwise a refund.
They did a great job with this classic. Sadly, did find a bug. Chapter 2, after the fight in the patch, gate won't open to new area. Can't continue the game as a result. Luckily I stagger my saves, but I don't know if the bug will happen again.
Took me around 30 tries to install it!! Even after they said they fixed the bug... yeah sure... Other than that the game still looks nice and creepy today.
This game is fantastic. It's everything I remember from when I was a little kid. However, a slight modification to the movement controls I think would improve it. Just simple arrows would suffice and it'd be much easier to control. Other than that, it's pristine.
Played this when I was younger but never made it all the way through. Finally did, and it's a great game. I didn't really have any glitches or trouble playing at all. It is worth spending actual money on this.
Everytime I come of this game, and load it up the guy doesn't move at all and it freezes and then I have to reset my phone to get it to work and I had to make a new game because it just wouldn't load it's a shame really because I was getting into it I want my money back! I've deleted this :/
1998 my uncle borrowed me the pc game, for 1 weeks... Couldn't stop thinking about it, I have Googled it many times in the past years, and when I found out I can play it on my phone, OMG I was so happy! Great game!!! Thank you so much
When I got to chapter 3 of the game and when ever I interact with anything in or near Dr.Morgan's office the game just stops. I can't move Max, I can't go into the main menu, I axn do anything all I hear is the games music.
This is a great blast from the past that still stands the test of time. I never finished it on pc back then so am excited to be playing it now. The only complaint I have is that clicking on text options is mega frustrating at least on my s7 edge. The options are too small and too close and the tap doest register unless u really hit the characters on the text precisely. This can lead to frantically tapping it until it gets it also resulting in skipping dialogue accidentally.
I'm so happy this is available! Thank you thank you! Only issue is sometimes when i click on a dialogue option, there is no audio and i only see the text for about a second, then i goes back to the dialogue selection screen.
Classic game, great feel. Only downside imo are the hard to hit dialog options. Or maybe I just have fat fingers.
Great port to mobile, sometimes selecting dialogue options can be a pain (bigger fonts would be nice unless I've missed it) but otherwise, excellent classic game with fully voiced dialogue too which was still kinda rare for this kinda game at the time unless, again, I'm mistaken.
Crashes at startup on Galaxy S7 Edge. Every time. Edit post comment from developer below: I have tried reinstalling several times. Just tried again. I have now sent an email to the address below. Will update this review if there is any progress.
This version is the android unaltered, unfettered, incredibly honest sanitarium you played back in 98. The only minor negative is that the control of the game, though ported to android is still very much so dependant on the tip of an arrow shaped cursor so it gets difficult to refine your tap zones. Otherwise, perfect. Keep up these excellent endeavours and android/Linux will begin to compete heavily in the gaming industry. Great job DotEmu.
When I first downloaded this app, there was a bug and I was unable to open it or play it at all- very annoying. BUT, the issue was quickly fixed and I even got a message letting me know it had been resolved. Great service! Since I have started playing, I'm really enjoying it. The puzzles are a good level of difficulty; tough enough that I feel a sense of accomplishment when I work it out, but not so tough that I rage out :-)
Never got to finish the PC version so am going to give this a shot. Some of the older games are pretty good. Like 7th Guest and 11th Hour, Sanitarium keeps your brain thinking while allowing your body to relax. Haven't started it yet but hope it runs well and the graphics are decent on my phone. Will let you know if they're not. UPDATE, I just started playing and works fine thus far on my Galaxy J7. Different from using a mouse but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Great work developing it for small screens!
5 stars BC the game is among my favorite all time. Game crashed 2x but I was changing apps for a FAQ and it auto saves constantly so not a problem. Manual saves take maybe 3 seconds. Some sections can be very difficult w/multiple touch screen points so close.
I'm super happy to play this on my phone after about a decade of wanting to play it on pc however the colour is messed up. The game has a blue hue to it, main menu is all blue coloured and in game it is hard to see stuff. I'm running it on a Samsung galaxy s3 gt-i9300. Would love some feedback on this. Many thanks!
It is as awesome a game as when I used to play it on my computer, but now even better that I can play it anywhere that I want to now that I can play it on my phone! Could you adapt the Puzz 3D jigsaw puzzles that came out on the PC in the nineties for the Android phone. That would be so awesome if you could!
I love the first part of the game but towards the end of Chapter 2, the stupid little kid with the fishing rod won't drop the stupid fishing rod. I am not at all happy so why don't you fix PLEASE! That would make me happy thank you and you would get a better review.
Used to love this game, got it from gog, buggy as hell as in you have to restart it entirely due to game destroying glitches, so thought the android port would be better. I was wrong. Don't waste your money! I would ask for a refund but there is no option for it on the playstore for this specific game.
After I got the first orb, the game started crashing and putting me back to the first square, no matter how many times I tried to continue ue. Sure wish I could have seen the final chapter.
Sanitarium more than delivers in terms of plot and puzzles, with the graphics still being more than passable. The control scheme can make some parts of the game a bit annoying, but not to a degree that would ruin the experience
Up to now enjoying it . I recommend people playing it on a smaller phone to change the control scheme to 'pad'. It's not perfect, it still seems you going back down stairs you just come up sometimes.
This game is fantastic. It's everything I remember from when I was a little kid. However, a slight modification to the movement controls I think would improve it. Just simple arrows would suffice and it'd be much easier to control. Other than that, it's pristine.
This game brings back memories of Wenden it first came out in 1998. It's still a blast to play and luckily I forgot a lot of the puzzles so I have to figure it all out again, which is what I wanted lol.
When you jump in the hole after timber in chapter 4 it crashes. Please fix soon, I love this game
When I got to chapter 3 of the game and when ever I interact with anything in or near Dr.Morgan's office the game just stops. I can't move Max, I can't go into the main menu, I axn do anything all I hear is the games music.
Other than it not working with Nvidia Shield Gamemapper a great port. One of the best in the point and click genre.
The addition of a "clickable object" highlighter will help you find the smaller items that tend to blend into the background.
The android game play takes a little getting used to but doesn't detract from clue hunting!
It's a weird little adventure. I don't know where it's going to take me, but the controls seem fine and the plot so far is interesting and fresh.
I loved this game when it originally came out. I love it even more that it's on a mobile device.
It is amazing how a good game can be ruined because of the lack of good controls!!! They made a really good game a really annoying thing to play!!!
