# Sanitarium Parent Guide
Sanitarium is a dark, horror-themed puzzle game from the 1990s featuring strong violence and disturbing imagery set in a mental hospital. The surreal, atmospheric story and grotesque visuals make it unsuitable for children, though older teens interested in classic horror games might find it engaging. There's no profanity or sexual content, but the psychological horror elements are the primary concern.
