About This Game

Igor must escape from a mental asylum, but it’s not going to be easy. There are two (2) rather obvious reasons:

1. Igor is constrained by a straitjacket.
2. The asylum’s corridors are filled with tranquilizers-ready guards (and other obstacles).



In addition to the dangers haunting outside, Igor is going through a war inside his head: his psychotic imaginary friend, Flead, is constantly demanding him to cancel his stupid escaping attempt.



The INSANE story takes place in a mysterious mental asylum which is known from its dark-ish history of utilizing questionable alternative treatments. The only thing even more mysterious, is the genius mastermind, Head Doctor, who is running the place...

EDIT2: After speedrunning the game with multiple categories, getting all the achievements and finding out all the secrets, I still thoroughly enjoy this game. Currently playing hours at 44, and I still have stuff to do - like finish a 100% Masochist run. Also, I've now grown fond of the action sequences, and also realised that one of the pros I never listed is actually both the music and the overall sound design. The sound cues really help with precision timing on many cases, the music and other sound effects create a very specific kind of atmosphere (both on the slower paced escape maze parts as well as the faster paced action sequences) and even the "cringe-y" voice acting is actually very fitting and charming. Definitely the highlight of Christmas 2017! One of the best 5€ I've spent in a loooong while. Full Disclosure: Frostbullet is just next door where I work and I occasionally socialize with them. Status: Insane is a charming little indie game, that focuses on puzzles. P...

Weird but charming little puzzle game with a nice atmosphere and a great soundtrack. PS. The guy who made this obviously has some first hand experience on mental illness.

This is a fun little game where you're basically a rat in a maze, trying to escape. You have a top-down view of each map and you must avoid all the security guards, or they shoot you with a tranquilizer dart. It's arcade-style, but you can play as slow or fast as you like since the guards don't really move much. I like that it doesn't take itself seriously and I found it surprisingly challenging when I got to the second level. Check out my gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFsWazfIAC4

STATUS:INSANE is game where you play some crazy nutjob trying to escape mental hospital. Game itself is pretty simple labyrinth type puzzle game where your aim is to get to ladders to reach next level same time dodging all kinda dangers. Atmosphere is great art got own distinguishable style with ballface guards and everything music is good too. Overall easily worth 5e

i tried to love it (didn't even play for that long i know) but overall i think it's not fun because 1. hat, pictures, documents.. everything that you get through game is not that rewarding. The design is horrible and even grotesque. I know that it makes sense because it takes place in asylum but umm.. i don't feel any sense of satisfaction getting it couldn't they make it a little cuter? I don't know. It's too crude for me i think. 2. The gameplay is not that impressive. I only played for some minutes but it didn't ring me a bell at all. I don't want to criticize more because it's something that we expect from $5 games. It's meh at best. Maybe it's worth buying for similar price games. It's okay i guess. Overall, I'm getting a refund because yes. this might be a good game to spend time but there are other better games with similiar price. I usually didn't refund this kind of game because it's not terrible and can even be considered as fun but it's a kind of game that you would never p...

Surprisingly superb puzzle game from a newbie indie dev! I found the setting rather interesting: Odd mental asylum, genius doctor (ofc...!), padlocked protagonist and his lovely flying head imaginary friend (my fav!). What could possibly go wrong? Nothing: STATUS: INSANE was so much (of..?) fun! The puzzles were nothing but brilliant, and I enjoyed the game’s humoristic layer as well. The general atmosphere was insane. Game was a bit short-ish, though: the completion only took couple of hours but at least there were some collectables to find. 9.5/10

NOTE: I have gone through the first three or four levels. Will update when I finish the game. EDIT: I have finished the game already. This is a little escape-the-maze puzzle game with some arcade-style elements. You get into the skin of Igor, a crazy patient at a mental health hospital. Of course, you don't like to be there, so you are trying to escape. In order to escape, you have to avoid the security guards, and be a little bit fast with the keys in some moments, which are more arcade than puzzle. I really like this concept when you change from thinking about escape routes to fast-paced action where you have to press the right keys at the right moment. The music and voice overs are also on point, giving an extra feeling of darkness. Overall they help to achieve the feeling of being escaping of the mental asylum. On the graphical aspect, the characters are well thought, with a characteristic blocky design. As the game does not try to be serious in most aspects, they fit perfectly. ...
