@GoldenGal42 I would like to see a sanity system that plays with the player's preconceptions about gameplay conventions, and makes them second-guess themselves. E.g. When enemies are about to attack, they usually make some kind of sound. The game should play those sounds when you are low on sanity; as opposed to random weird noises in the case of ED. Spawn in fake (but identical) enemies that disappear when you pan the screen away. Generate ominous shadows that have no source. Etc.

@irritablerodent I can see where you're coming from. Though nothing will frighten me more than the ED error screen. The best type of insanity effect would be where you don't notice it until afterwards. The creative team would have to be very cunning.

@GoldenGal42 Eternal Darkness was more creative when it came to the insanity effects. But it has the same problem this does, they are just a gimmick with little gameplay implications. In ED the hallucinations are obviously not part of the normal flow of gamplay. They might confuse you the first time round, but afterwards you can simply ignore them without penalty. I kept my sanity low just so I could see all the effects. Presumably the game intended for me to avoid sanity loss.

@irritablerodent In all fairness this was one of the first games to have something along these lines. Try Eternal Darkness if you haven't already (that uses the sanity status very well) and don't expect many games with sanity meters to come out, Nintendo legally own it. *mutters*
