Embark on a unique third person psychic adventure through the minds of misfits, monsters and madmen....

For years, the Psychonauts have deployed their psychically-armed operatives all over the world, but this time trouble is brewing in their own boot camp. A deranged scientist is abducting camp cadets for their brains. One student, a mysterious and powerful new arrival named Raz, stands alone against the lunatic. Raz must develop and unleash an arsenal of paranormal powers including his most powerful weapon of all—the ability to launch himself telepathically into the minds of others. Ultimately he must enter the psyche of his worst enemy and destroy his dark plans at their source while trying not to lose his sanity in the process.

• Rank up to earn additional psychic powers including Telekinesis, Invisibility, Pyrokinesis, Clairvoyance and Confusion

• Put your thoughts to use—Raz can grab the thought bubble over his head and pull it down around himself as a shield, hang from it like a hot air balloon, or jump on top of it and ride it around like a skateboard

• Interact with a multitude of dynamic environmental features such as tightropes, trapezes, ladders, poles, ledges, trampolines, climbing walls and rail slides

• Non-linear gameplay with incredible depth offers multiple paths and sub-challenges (digging up PSItanium arrowheads, finding lost brains, telekinetic canoeing, and winning the psychic scavenger hunt) so there is always a goal to accomplish

• Challenging puzzles span a range of difficulty, with alternate solutions that self-tailor themselves to your own strengths and abilities

A PSYCHIC ODYSSEY THROUGH THE MINDS OF MISFITS, MONSTERS, AND MADMEN.

There were brains everywhere,

just not in the right heads. Something evil came out of the lake and stole them all, leaving everyone brainless but me. Astral projection. Telekinesis. Levitation. Clairvoyance. An old man in my head who loves bacon. These are some of the tools that will help me break into the insane asylum and destroy the dark plot hatching there. I'll have to jump inside one crazy head after another, explore those twisted mental landscapes, and smack around a whole bunch of personal demons if I'm going to save the world. Why? Because I'm Raz.

And that's what Psychonauts do.
