Sanitarium (video game): Difference between revisions

* [[Adult Child]]: Lenny

* {{spoiler|[[Adventures in Coma Land]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[All Just a Dream]] - Most of the game, except several cutscenes, is just Max's dreams while he was in coma.}}

* [[All the Worlds Are a Stage]] - The next to last subchapter is a mishmash of all of the non-"real world" chapters. {{spoiler|You also have to [[Shapeshifting]] between Max and all of his alter-egos.}}

* [[Alternate Universe]] - {{spoiler|It turns out that the Morgan from Max's past is not the same Morgan that he encounters throughout the game. The former exists in the real world. The latter exists in Max's dream world.}}

** Then there's a {{spoiler|non-playable AU version of Max himself.}}

* [[Ambition Is Evil]]

** Averted with Max

* [[Arc Words]] - "Seek the truth"

* [[Back From the Dead]] - A dead woman comes back to life long enough to give Max some cryptic warnings.

* [[Bandaged Face]]

** {{spoiler|Dream World Morgan is unwittingly this to Real World Morgan, due to him thinking they are the same person.}}

** {{spoiler|The scarecrow}} to Mother.

* [[Evil Laugh]] - {{spoiler|Dream World Morgan and The Scarecrow}}.

* [[Face Heel Turn]]

** Inverted with Max, who used his own past tragedy as motivation to become a doctor and help people.

* [[Ghost Town]]

* [[Go Among Mad People]] - Most of the game. {{spoiler|Except not really-turns out it's a [[Black Bug Room]] caused by Max being in a poison-induced fever dream.}}

* [[Good Is Not Nice]] - Olmec (hoo boy).

* [[Nice Guy]] - The Main Character and Timmy O'Toole.

* [[Non-Identical Twins]]

* [[One-Winged Angel]] - {{spoiler|Morgan}}

* {{spoiler|[[Plant Aliens]]}} - "Mother"

* [[Preacher Man]]: Preacher Bob takes himself seriously but is a comical instance of this trope. In addition, Chapter 2 makes mention of an influential small-town preacher.

* [[Town with a Dark Secret]] - The entirety of chapter 2.

* [[Twist Ending]]

* [[The Unseen]] - A big part of Max's arc. His face is covered in bandages. When he is seen in flashbacks, his face is always hidden. The one exception is a flashback from his childhood.

** This is a rare case of the main character pulling off this trope.

* [[Unusual Euphemism]] - Grimwall's favorite exclamation, "Grap".

* [[Unwitting Pawn]] - Arguably {{spoiler|Dream World Morgan.}} He believes that {{spoiler|he and Real World Morgan are the same person and doesn't realize that his fighting Max and enabling the poison to work its way through his veins will actually kill him along with Max.}} The example has the oddity of ''both'' the pawn ''and'' the manipulator being unaware of the manipulation {{spoiler|due to Real World Morgan being unaware of Dream World Morgan's existence}}.
