OH BOY IT'S 5° OUTSIDE AND I THINK THE WINDCHILL IS IN THE NEGATIVES, I SURE LOVE WINTER SDFJKGHKDHFGJKH CHRIST i am spending the rest of my life sitting in a desert forever i don't even care
BUT AS LONG AS I'M HERE, LET'S HAVE OURSELVES A VERY CHILLY EPISODE OF SANITARIUM!
Previous Episodes

NEXT STOP: THE LABORATORY!
Wait, what? Lab? Are we back in the asylum?
I'll admit, this chapter actually does creep me out a bit, even with all the bad voice acting and general cheese that comes with Sanitarium. I think a lot of it is just the creepy music.

WELP HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOO what a nice lab

Hey, is she holding a clown d--
Oh.

Looking at the poster. What's with this kid, anyway? Did Max bring her here, or did she die and they just... left her, what

Looking at that dripping gargoyle thing outside. TOO LAZY TO MOVE

Looking at... down. Yeah.

Well, let's go. Apparently the owners blew all their funds on gargoyles so they couldn't afford ceiling on this place. All the scientists just have to trudge through rain and snow and hail to do their work, papers flying everywhere

They also couldn't afford windows or anything so they just welded in some bars on all the buildings. YEAH THAT'LL KEEP 'EM FROM FALLING OUT 8|

Looking at the cherub in the foreground. Max says this in such a... I don't know, resigned tone. Like that sentence should be preceded with a sigh and a drawn-out "weeeelp"

WHAT A COZY OFFICE
with a bed, wtf

WHAT KIND OF A MADHOUSE IS THIS

i've made that joke twice, i'm not doing it again

Well, it's a good thing HOPE didn't get around too m-- oh wait

Anyway, the only other thing we can click on is this painting of a Stern-Looking Fellow.

HHHNNNNNNGGGHHHH THE COMPOSITION IS ALL WRONGGG

seriously who decorates their office like that
if you build a place and give every room stone walls and dim lighting and skulls then you're pretty much begging for things to go to hell


no



pfffhahahaha yeah, here's a good example of why Sanitarium's method of mashing all the dialogue in one textbox can make this game weird to screencap. JACOB'S FATHER IS A HALL
The way he says SPENDING YOUR TIME IN THE LIIIIIBRARY makes me laugh

This zooms in all fast, it's hilarious

AAAAAAAA

what the hell he turned into a baby aaaaaaaa

WHY ARE ALL OF MY SHOTS OF THIS GUY TURNING OUT HORRIBLY AAAAAAAAAAA

GODDAMN WHAT THE HELL HIS BODY IS LIKE A PERFECT SPHERE

i hope jane asks me to the dance

;_;
Full cutscene. I love how he gestures towards Max at the "every other student" comment.


DONK

It looks like it was shoved in sideways, too, not facing whoever put it in. How... how does that work, the walls aren't even that thick
does the building just have this big square jutting out of the side or something YES NO ONE WILL SUSPECT A THING

WELL WHATEVER, IF IT'S THERE I GOTTA TAKE IT

it's gone now

hot tub


Oh, I guess the thing would make it hard to comfortably put it in facing out, but the walls... still aren't thick enough to hide it sideways. How do you get it in and out, anyway?! WHY THE WALL, CAN'T YOU JUST PUT IT IN A SAFE I WILL NEVER LET THIS GO!!!


vroooooo


hot tub

Haha wow, I like the combination between this advanced, almost alien machine and a rock, wtf

Anyway, we have to free that boulder, and to do so we have to release the locks that are holding it. If you pull the lever on the right, then the locks will either release or shut depending on where those three white circles are in the sphere (you can turn them with the wheel). The chain resets the whole thing.
You can think this puzzle through and come to a quick solution, or you can be like me and wing the whole thing until you eventually stumble upon the answer. THE CHOICE IS YOURS!

Also, I did the puzzle with one hand clicking the mouse and the other holding my head up out of boredom, forgetting that if you solve a puzzle in this game then it'll immediately zip out of the screen and keep going without pause, so I didn't get a shot of the rock rolling into the... whatever that green stuff is and going across that bridge thing. FFFF
BUT I'M SURE THE FRUITS ARE WELL WORTH THE LABOR!

Fruits like the... door... opening.
What the hell kind of a convoluted security system is that?! Have you people never heard of fucking safes or keypads or even ID scanners or something jesus christ can you imagine being an intern in this place and having to ask permission to get the pipe valve from behind the painting and then frantically try to solve some stupid rock puzzle before your paper with the solution scribbled on gets blown away or too soggy to read because the insane architect who built this place created a lock fitting for Peewee's Playhouse and couldn't even build a goddamn CEILING? HOW DO THEY EVEN LOCK IT AGAIN? DOES THE ROCK JUST ROLL BACK INTO PLACE LIKE A BOWLING BALL OR DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO SECURE IT? WHOSE JOB IS IT TO PUT THE PIPE VALVE BACK BEHIND THE PAINTING? WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

i'm just gonna pretend that whole puzzle never happened

SURPRISE!Here's what happens to the patients who refuse to take their meds



eugh


THIS IS JUST LIKE OLD TIMES

that is a really big sleeve

AT LAST
SODA THAT NEVER GOES FLAT




hahahahaha
YOU KNOW MAX I WASN'T ALWAYS THIS brilliant and wealthy and gorgeous~


I CALL FAVORITISM


otp, lol
Full scene!

Max stands there and pants for a while after flashing back. THE MEMORIES OF BOTCHED LAB TESTS FLOOD BACK LIKE A TSUNAMI

Oh yeah, this stage has lightning to go along with the rain. You can see the bodies in more detail, aaaaggghhh


Max says this with all the awe and repulsion of someone taking out the garbage


I'm not even sure what that thing in the corner is, but it's a little unsettling.

BUT HEY, let's not dwell over a few dismembered bodies! Is that a tape recorder?


THEY KEEP GETTING REPORTS FROM PEOPLE HEARING CHAINSAWS AND SCREAMING
IF ONLY I HAD WINDOWS

Some other dude comes on but there's no indication of who's speaking, so it's time to play NAME THAT CHARACTER!

lol, great planning, morgan
i hope you were planning to burn the tape along with the bodies

Hahaha I HAVE A FEELING IT'S IN HERE, THAT RECORDING SEEMED TO VAGUELY HINT IT

This is a little creepy, just with the subject matter and the music and Dr. Morgan's voice murmuring the words in the background. Despite this, I am laughing so hard at the flowery prose. PIERCE THE HEAVENS WITH YOUR SCALPEL
WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!

Anyway, all you have to do is click the all capital letters (aside from most of the I's, of course) and rearrange them to form words. And I KNOW I took screencaps of the solutions, but for some reason Fraps didn't register it :T What the heck. But yeah, this is "salvation."

Next chalkboard. Haha, I like all the repeated marks above the periods. Oh, fonts :B
"The youth."

Last one. Don't you have a journal, Morgan, seriously
just buys a new chalkboard every time he feels inspired
"Key hides to." I'm sure you know what this is supposed to say.










DING

oh god ow my eyes
since when was that other room well-lit

This is still Max, though the sudden scene switch kind of threw me off.

THUMBS YOU GUYS

boop


OWW WHY DO ROOMS RANDOMLY FLASH LIGHT WHEN PEOPLE OPEN DOORS


hey what are all these test tubes filled with

oh

babies

that's nice




This one kind of swells up, for some reason.

So does this.

THAT'S ENOUGH, GAME



:O



FSHOOOOMMMM

whump

haha, just zooms in on his body

I SEE MOTHER AND A DEAD SISTER

I SEE COMICS AND what

HEY KIDS HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING THE GAME!!!!!!!! YUK YUK


NOOOOOOOOOOOO

lol

Hey, who's--


:O!

He stammers a bit which wasn't subtitled, and whoa wtf what's with his face all of a sudden
why are his teeth all different shades of grey and brown

And it really looks like he could just easily slide his hand out of that strap

And wow, all the workers in this place are totally ripped







FEEL FREE TO TAKE OR CREATE YOUR OWN





JUST SLIDE OUT, THEY'RE NOT EVEN ON TIGHT

AND THAT ENDS THIS CHAPTER!!!!!
NEXT CHAPTER IS WHEN WE FINALLY GET TO THE "REALLY CRAZY PART" I KEEP GOING ON ABOUT, STAY TUNED
THAT AWESOME CUTSCENE
PLAYTHROUGH
I MEAN SERIOUSLY YOU AREN'T GOING TO BELIEVE THE STUFF THAT HAPPENS NEXT
And for something totally unrelated to this entry, aaaaaawwwwwwwwwwww ;A;
