    Maybe a bit too old school but “Eternal Darkness; Sanity’s Requiem”. Surprisingly good (entertaining) voice acting and writing!

      I’ve had an eBay alert set up for this one for ages.

      I really just need to give up and emulate it already.

      I came here to say that. I loved that game, the sanity effects were brilliant and have never really been done properly since that I know of.

        That’s right! The sanity effects were so well tailored to that era of CRT TVs and the type of game crash errors one could get from a corrupted c save file. I would absolutely love to see a modern horror game give this kind of effect a serious shot.

        That specific line reading is fully iconic, you hear it once and you remember it forever!
