The next day, Raz reports for his first classes, even despite being told he couldnt take any. The counselors, despite fascination about his mental defenses, armored like a tank Coach Oleander remarks after failing to even learn Razs name psychically, give him a bunk and resolve to call his parents to come take him home. Raz responds with I know! Isnt it great? Then Raz makes his entrance, falling out of a tree and being caught after having snuck into, as another counselor Sasha Nein puts it, a top secret government training facility. The game begins with the military-esque briefing quoted above. It is worth noting that Raz is the only character that isnt given a last name, though through clues found in the final few levels many fans assume it is √quato. The games main character is a 10-year-old psychic named Razputin, a member of a family of gypsies who run their own traveling circus.

Nightmares are large purple creatures with glowing yellow eyes, multiple red-clawed limbs, and screaming faces on their torsos. Occasionally you will even come across Nightmares to fight. Censors, small humanoid creatures that yell No! and weed out bad thoughts to keep people sane, are usually your only enemies in mental worlds, along with the occasional bomb-like Personal Demon. You can also look in on the characters memories by capturing and opening their Memory Vaults, small dog-like vaults that gallop around in certain places. One must find the correct tag and match it to the correct bag to have them gleefully depart. Scattered around each mental world are several weeping suitcases and hatboxes and duffle bags. One must sort through the characters emotional baggage, quite literally. Each mind has its own figments to fit in with the minds theme. In order to level up, one must collect glowing pictures called figments, also known as figments of the imagination. Puns abound in these mental worlds, as well. Cool and calculated Sasha Nein has a cubist-inspired cube that is meticulously structured and organized, however, like most things forced into organization, it is easy to plunge into chaos. For example, party-girl Milla Vodello has an immense rave and dance party in her mental world, but secret rooms also hint at her dark past. It paints spectacular mental worlds, all evidence of the personalities of the characters they belong to. As such, the game requires you to go inside the minds of several people. They travel the world, psychically fighting evil. The Psychonauts are a group of government-run psychic secret agents. However, Psychonauts inspired an almost cult following. It only sold 400,000 copies total from 2005 to now (it is currently out of print), which is a low number considering that the game Animal Crossing: Wild World, released in the same year, has sold 9.53 million copies worldwide since it came out. On April 19th in the year 2005, Tim Schafer, DoubleFine Studios, and Majesco released the game known simply as Psychonauts.

Coach Morceau Morry Oleander, Psychonauts In other words: Psychonauts! The rest of you.will die! And those of you who fight well, you will find yourself on the path to becoming international secret agents. You shall chase his dreams, you shall fight his demons, you shall live his nightmares. You shall engage the enemy in his own mentality. This is our beachhead and this is your landing craft. Mental marines who are about to ship out on the adventure of their lives. From this day forward you are all psychic soldiers. The wars of this modern age, the psychic age, are all fought somewhere between these damp, curvaceous, undulations. But Ill tell you what it really is: it is the ultimate battlefield and the ultimate weapon.
