Wanted to post it in Announcements, but I keep getting "you are not allowed to write here" message .

Yeah can't make a new post on the Announcement unless you're a mod or admin. But you can do replies.

I have not heard of Sanitarium - any good? I already own TLJ (after much recommendation from everyone). And silly me forgot to back up my save games when I recently wiped the machine because of a virus.

To me, Sanitarium wasn't very good. The story was dull, it was a super easy game to finish, and it didn't make much sense. IMO, there was nothing to it.

Oh, and the camera is at an isometric view. Boring!

Many love Sanitarium. I found it playable, but nothing great. The worst thing about it is that it has terrible voice acting.

Sanitarium is IMHO a great game, that's why I decided to transalate it (actually, it was meant for a correction of script previously translated by my colleagues from Play it in Polish webside, but since I changed 8/9 of the script it was a retranslation, and I decided to add myself to translators list).

Isometric view can be good - anyone played Daemonica? Yeah, that rules.

Tawmis - you can try Sanitarium demo if you do not want to buy it yet - but I tell you - it is worth a try. Especially by that price - I should buy this version as well, but delays between my bank and my PayPal accont will not allow me do that.

I wonder how difficult it would be to re-record games that have bad voice acting, and redo them yourself and somehow import them back into a game?

Tawmis - as my pals managed to export and import the text from game files, they probably would be able to do the same with audio files (not only Sanitarium, but PiiP also made BS 1). The biggest problem would be... voice actors.

BTW - I do not think that Sanitarium has a bad voice acting - it is emotional, as the game is emotional. But English is not my native language, I am not an expert here.
