I hated the Sanitarium. Worst of all maps in SHO.
Maybe if they added small cutscenes like where Harry gets tentacle fcuked by the Monster in the Fridge or anything synonymous, then it would get exciting.

Like maybe seeing what happened on Male Seclusion 1,2,3,4,5

I'm just playing Origins for the first time and just made it to the theater and I have to say the Sanitarium... wasn't that bad, really. It became a little tedious since all you were doing was going back and forth to get keys to unlock doors to find more keys to unlock more doors and so on but it wasn't nearly as bad as some of you are making it out to be. I never once got stuck, lost, or needed to use a walkthrough.

My only real beef with it was it was ridiculously big.

Yeah, it was pretty linear, tbh. There was usually only one place you could go or whatever, besides a few rooms thrown in to explore. It was just huge.
I once was lost, but am now profound.

The only reason i had a hard time cause my tv was very dark making it hard for me to see the game, brightening it helped greatly

Only thing I can complain about is that saving in the middle of the Sanitarium and then stop playing for a longer time is a bad idea.
Because you simply forget what you already did the last time you played and then you run around, confused, while trying to find the next key, only to find yourself lost in one of the staircases. Or in front of a door that is locked from the other side.
When you play through it without pausing then it should be no problem, especially if you played the game a few times.
Anyway, the notes, items and keys always point to Travis' next destination.

I agree, i did that one time and utterly forgot where to go and what to do! playing it the first time is confusing cause you don't know what you are doing or going

I loved the Sanitarium. It creeped me out and those remnant monsters!!!
Was the Sanitarium like a mental institution or a place where diseased people go?

I adored the Sanitarium, I always thought it was fun and I really like trying to go through there with no flashlight.

A sanatorium (also sanitorium, sanitarium) is a medical facility for long-term illness, typically tuberculosis.
Wiki is the source.

So I guess the latter part of your post is correct. :)

nice, thank you for telling. still be a great place to explore and not be attacked.

it's still hard to figure way through it if you save and leave the game.

No problem,
The sanitarium is the only place where I get lost anymore.
It would be fun to go through it without anything jumping out at you to see all the cool things around!

yeah, i agree with you.

Even though you play SHO and few times this place always makes me mess up and get lost, i often have to pause the game and try to remember what to do

Exactly, It makes me so frustrated, but I like the transitions between worlds a lot.

The only reason why I don't play Origins anymore is because of that damn Sanitarium.

^No, not hard. Just annoying. I waste like 2:30 - 3 hours of the game inside this god damn place. I could use this time to explore other places.
