This is generally considered one of the most well written games of all time. The developers wwre writers, who wanted to have a go at multimedia. This would be their only game.
We regularly talk about it on /r/adventuregames!
I also highly recommend I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. Similarly psychological horror, excellent writing. Brilliantly voiced by its author.
Both among a small handful of games that have made me cry.
- Etheryte 2y agoDisco Elysium matches a similar description, writers using a game as their medium of choice. I feel like it fell just a bit short of greatness on the main story line, but it was a mesmerizing play nonetheless with lots of interesting world building. I recommend you try it out.
- runevault 2y agoI've never played Sanitarium, but Disco Elysium is the closest thing I've ever seen to a Literary novel turned into a game, and the fact they did it well is wild. I'll be curious to see if anyone else explores the thought cabinet or the skills as mind stuff again because it seems ripe for further experimentation. There's still a chance the former ZA/UM devs do, but having to start over makes that harder.
