![]() GameplayPsychonauts was designed by Tim Schafer, the man behind Grim Fandango and Full Throttle. ![]() This game is filled with more weird characters and situations than you can imagine: psychic secret agents pretending to be small children, a psychic detective that lives inside Raz’s brain who can only be summoned by waving bacon in front of Raz’s nose…I sound like a moron already. I’m being this vague for two reasons: (A), the story is little more than a scenario for Raz to meet interesting people and jump into their minds, and (B), getting any more specific would make me sound like a goddamn idiot. Stuff goes awry, people are kidnapped, and it’s up to Raz to save the day. The protagonist, Raz (short for Razputin), enters a psychic summer camp, where children are trained to become Psychonauts (psychic soldiers). StoryIsn’t really that important, to be honest.
