It's gorgeous!!

Thanks a metric fuckton for @getgianni.com for his amazingly terrifying reading of the game's back cover pat description. (Plus a few other Certified Gianni moments 🙏💩🙏)

It's definintely been on my radar, but I don't think I'd cover it in a whole episode. Potentially some day one that mentions a bunch of other "origins of survival horror" that haven't gotten the spotlight yet in a single episode. We'll see.

yeah, like nooks & crannies

btw, you should check out the alcoves in the Koningin Astridpark

Maybe that's what hell is. The entire rest of eternity spent in fucking Bruges.

Sanitarium is super high on my list of games I'd love to revisit at some point (in video form).

Many of the skills have pretty intricate conversations, and many of them you will only see if you have all skills high enough to pass the passive checks.
A cheat-run almost feels like its very own way of experiencing the story.
Enjoyng it a lot!
Just don't do it for your first or even second run.

2. If you've done multiple runs, try a "cheat run".
Save the moment Harry wakes up, then edit the save file to boost all your skills up to 20, so you'll pass every check (save for rolling a double-1).
This is super interesting because you get to hear Harry's *full* internal monologue...

...segmented specifically for creating an unparalleled reading-flow. The (excellent) voice over for virtually every line in the game slows the game's pace down to a crawl, which—at least for me—completely breaks the game's incredible flow where I can just read, read, read, read.
