Sanitarium Enhanced is a modernized and improved edition of the cult-classic psychological horror adventure Sanitarium, originally released in 1998. Love seeing a focus on bringing back more and more classic games lately, just like with the Alien Breed 35th Anniversary Collection that was also announced.

More about it - "You awaken disfigured and amnesiac in a decaying asylum, with no memory of who you are or how you got there. Escaping your cell is only the beginning: each chapter pulls you deeper through a chain of nightmare worlds – a village of deformed children, a town of insectoid mutations, a circus of the grotesque – as you piece together the fractured truth of your own identity."

See the announcement trailer below:

I remember seeing this but I was too young to appreciate it at the time, perhaps now I'll be able to get into it. I was only about 10 at the original release…the days of going to PC World to look at all the boxes. Good times.

I hope those who already have the original version can get the enhanced edition for free or with a discount.

Yea, I remember those days. Definitely good times. I used to run a business that sold those boxed video games back in the 90's and the early to mid 2000's. Sold the computers and consoles they ran on too.

Enhanced, but they didn't even smooth out the heavy interlacing?

I played the demo on a disk years ago and loved it.
