BIIIIG TOTEM POLE

I can`t fathom why your channel hasn`t more exposure! So well written, such a well balance between letting the game play out, discussing the gameplay, reacting and commenting! I hope the gods of algorithm bless you soon

I work 12 hour shifts. Your's, and Mandalores videos on repeat, are a godsend. Keep up the fantastic work!

I honestly love this game's protagonist. Max is a sweetheart and I hope Sanitarium gets a remake, even if the chances of it are really slim. It's an underrated gem.

I'm at work so I'm just gonna comment and like for the algorithm then watch later. Edit: great video! I'm glad you took the time to explain how much less convoluted this game was I kind of want to try it now

@ 37:11 I believe the correct term for those meshing of genres is called “BioPunk” and yes, because there where a few games built around this Bio-mechanical insectoid visual motifs, that surprisingly all came out around the same year as Sanitarium...... hmmm coincidence? There is this strange game “Vangers” that is the definition of “BugPunk” and There is also the “KKND(Krush, Kill ‘n’ Destroy)” & “KKND2: Krossfire” series of games that also came out in 1997 and 1998 aswell......

"If you had not been so stubborn and full of self pity you would have seen that" These devs were smart people

This is honestly such an underrated creator. Amazing games covered, great writing and interesting takes on the media. I'll be honest, I've spent a lot of nights falling asleep to these videos. Once I know them, I can zone out and fall asleep. I'd love nothing more than getting more content from ARealHuman, but the important part is to follow wherever your own personal life goes. Be good to yourself.

Been following this channel for 3 years, sad to see it hasn't taken off yet. Because this is a sleeper hit channel. Keep making videos man, hope the algorithm gives u the the break u deserve!

I can tell that Fran Bow took some major inspiration from this game. Its overall idea is pretty much the exact same one.

I caught a glimpse of this game over someone's shoulder when I was little, specifically the hide and seek part, so I was scared of it. Now that I'm fascinated about these things, I tried to figure out exactly what it was. Cool to see you covering it! :-)

I had a feeling you would eventually work your way up to this gem 💎

I'm having a strong sense of dejavu right now with your video. I swear i saw your coverage of this game sometime ago.

Damn the algorithm, I missed this yesterday. Great video again.

I keep coming back to this video year after year, I think it's one of my favorites you've ever done. While I have my issues and reservations about the game, I still really do like it. All the different worlds and settings, it's a real dim sum way of delivering things and I enjoy it a lot.

I think the story with Dr. Morgan is best thought of as a frame narrative. It provides the kind of simple drama you might expect from a cheap paperback, where characters mainly exist to move the story. Characters may be written as narrow and simple, but if they're human then they must actually be living complicated mental lives. It doesn't matter that they aren't real; that's just how humans work. It's one angle of a much more complex reality. So the dominant psychological narrative sits inside this very simple frame which completely fails to capture the actual psychological reality, with a news story in the end explaining what we already know in even simpler detail. Even the frame is distilled into a simpler narrative, which will be how the news story's listeners will understand it. Maybe it's saying nobody can really understand the psychological reality of another person, even if you know all the reasons for why they're eg. suffering. After that, with the psychological narrative complete, there's no need for anything more than a throwaway ending to the frame narrative. We rejoin the ignorant masses who only know a snippet of what's going on. I'm literally guessing, but it seems like the kind of theme a weird old adventure game might have. This is exactly how Job is laid out as well: simple prose chapters at the beginning and the end with 40 chapters of much more complicated psychological discussion in between, written by two authors with separate messages and compiled as a single text. I mention this because Job is the one book of the Bible that writers continually seem to heavily reference, so I almost expect it to be somewhere in a game like this. If I'm entirely wrong, it's only because the game pushes so heavily on the imagination. It's impossible not to think about it. Thanks for the video. Jazak'Allah khairan.

I found this installed in the computer lab back in junior high. I got to play it for one hour. The next day it was gone. For years, I thought it was some sort of fever dream.

Loved your Harvester episode, great work on it; I played that in probably 7th or 8th grade and loved it. You’re making me want to play this one now. First sub I’ve made in like 8 years, keep up the good work.

Sanitarium is a great example of how to make a horror game that is both creepy af yet fucking hillarious at the same time

Fresh vid from one of my newest faves! Thanks man!

I think this is one of my new favourite episodes from you Human. Love your content and can't wait for more! Biiig totem poll.

love this guys narration. He honestly needs more publicity this is a great channel

i just realized the amount of likes this has.. what the heck!!!! this is one of the best analyses ive ever seen!!

Finally a new upload! I have been waiting for this! :D

I love the speed and pace of your videos, I feel like I get to experience the majority of the game without watching a full play through. Thanks so much!

Thank you for creating this video. I am not interested in playing these point and click games, but I do enjoy you going over and explaining them :)

Love this game to this day. So heartfelt and genuine. It was a pleasure to watch this tender examination.

A new realhuman video, what is this 2021?

Truly a unique game and the first early pc era adventure I've ever played! Funny how almost all such games culminated in an over the top ending scenario. Great video!

Keep up the great work. Your content is of a very high quality. Don't give up

Fantastic video! Like a better version of a let’s play. Now i wish all Let’s Plays had editing like this!

Lovely voice, high quality vids, informative. Insta-sub!

I remember Pipe Dream being one of the "other games" on a Doom shareware CD I had.

I love this video, I keep finding myself watching it again and again when I want to relax

So glad I stayed subscribed! Worth it 👍🏻

I recently completed this old classic after many years. It was weird to play it again. I never got past them damn Birds before, as I didnt notice that Scythe!!!

I loved this game. There was a demo of it on a cover CD of PC Zone. Just the first area. Even the menu system gave me the heebie jeebies, the way the girls voice echoed the options...... . Anyways, it was the first game I ever downloaded from an FTP, once I got broadband. Sick number of CD's. Took forever, on a 512kb connection. But I burned 10 copies and gave them all to my friends. We figured it out together. Great times. Great game.

This game is amazing, one of my favorite adventure games it's so bizar

I was 15 when this came out and it was quite a good play and quite gripping as a teen to play!

Woah, hold up. Are Elvis impersonators a regular thing in asylums? This is the first time I've heard of it. XD

I hope you come back to playing these games. They were all the ones I wanted to play but was too young and poor to play them

Thank you for making these, I know they must take a long time.

Brilliant walk through review

Good job on the video, glad to see you upload again

I immediately hit subscribe after the Predator reference. Awesome videos.

Great stuff as always!

Great video man, every video like this one that you make is just so interesting 😬. Keep it up! 👍

You deserve so many more views

I remember seeing an ad for this game but never in stores. It's not like what I thought it would be like.

OMG yes a new video! Also this game is great!!

I picked this game up on a random day back then. What a journey!

I don't remember why but I had a copy of the game as a kid. Never got past leaving the tower first time, I was too scared xD

I miss when games could be this dark and savage.

Cyclopes (psy-KLOP-EEZ) is the plural of Cyclops :) for future reference, great video as always!

amazin work as always

@ 34:26 Did you ever make that video about the game that was impossible to beat upon release? I've seen all your videos and I don't think I've heard about it again! I could be misremembering, though.

Yo, Scorn is looking hella tight, Fam

So when can we look forwards to your video on Vangers? :V Spoilers for Sanitarium: You know, as much as I like this game and think it's pretty good, I still can't help but be frustrated at how _nothing aside from the very end matters_ because it's all just a hallucination. The story with the alien that tries to help the town kids, the big monster wars, all of those are really neat and none of them matter, none of it's real within the context of the game. It tugs at your heartstrings with child abuse and stuff, but then it turns out there was never any child abuse, because it wasn't real. I think I'd like Sanitarium better if it was just an anthology of short adventure games that were all real within their own internal settings.

13:35 I don'T know if this is the darkest, or in the Game "HARVEYS NEW EYES". At Least in Sanitarium, it LOOKS Disturbing, but in Harveye New Eyes, it had such a innocent, cartooney Look.

Top content as usual

Has anyone ever attempted to de-interlace the pre-rendered cutscenes?

Olmec is such a chad

He has blessed us again

LMAO @ 45:45 the trump part 😂😂😂

Great video as always. Do you have a discord server?

Dude how do you find these games? The best I’ve done myself is just scrolling through the entire library of myabandonware

Monkey islands combat is great

I want more of these.

Your voice is sleeping and quiet compared to the rest of the audio. Turn up the volume, speak clearly or WAKE UP. With that out of the way, Nice video. Not dragging on too much with all the text, but still cover important/interesting points. Thank you

I am absolutely _convinced_ that The Hive was the visual inspiration for The Bloom in _Torment: Tides of Numenera._ The concept of a weird flesh-place isn't all that uncommon. But damn, that Hive looks _just_ like The Bloom.

Love this game

The other bugpunk game is Entomorph.

first time watching: my god im surprised somebody made this fifth time watching: 20:39 asylu-ba-da-ba

"sanitarium" reminds me of the portuguese word "Sanitario" meaning toilet lol
