Grab ‘Sanitarium’ for Free for the Next 48 Hours on GOG
Summer hasn’t officially arrived just yet, but that’s not stopping GOG from kicking off their 2022 Summer Sale. In addition the month-long deals on new and classic games, GOG as usual has put up a kick-off freebie for the next 48 hours. Old-school PC gamers will be pleased to know that this year’s GOG freebie is none other than DreamForge Intertainment’s 1998 adventure game, Sanitarium!
We’ve talked about Sanitarium on numerous occasions (including this one), but it just bears repeating that even after almost 25 years, the game remains one of the best atmospheric psychological horror adventure titles on PC. And really, you have no excuse to not play it now. Just bear in mind that you’ve got 48 hours to grab it. And GOG has done their job of preserving Sanitarium by including manual scans, along with the in-game soundtrack as bonus goodies.
Sanitarium centres on Max Laughton, who after a particularly important research discovery, rushes home to share the good news with his family. However, somebody has tampered with Max’s car, resulting in a him being involved in a serious accident and losing consciousness. When he wakes up, he finds himself in a strange tower resembling an asylum, surrounded by insane people, and the shrill sound of alarm driving him mad. Unable to remember anything from his past, Max feverishly tries to escape. But just when he thinks he has succeeded, he is taken on delusional, horrifying trips through his subconsciousness, unable to distinguish between reality and hallucinations.
In addition, GOG has unveiled Sega’s modern classic Alien: Isolation as the latest to join GOG. You can grab it for a hefty 75% discount if you haven’t already bought it on Steam or the Epic Games Store.

‘Dying Light 2’ Receives New Difficulty Mode and More With “Nightmare Mode” Update [Trailer]
Not to be outdone by Dead Island 2‘s recent expansion, Techland has announced that Dying Light 2 is getting an update of it’s own with the much-requested Nightmare Mode, which adds “the hardest and most immersive difficulty yet” to the game, along with an array of additional elements.
Nightmare Mode for Dying Light 2 forces players to rely on tactics and strategic management of resources in order to survive. The new difficulty introduces changes to stamina management, called the Tactical Stamina system, limited HUD options for better immersion, and a flickering flashlight that goes out when used for too long. These and other additions aim to heighten the atmosphere give the overall experience a needed refresh for veteran players. Those who manage to complete the game on this highest difficulty will be rewarded with the memorable Waltz Outfit.
The Nightmare Mode Update adds more than just the new difficulty. New adjustments to the Infected and night experience are also part of the update. What’s more, co-op players will be glad to hear they will now be able to take on the Community Maps with up to three friends. Archers will get reworked power shot mechanics. And you even have the opportunity to change the appearance of the Grappling Hook.
Dying Light 2 is available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
