Razputin, a young psychic, sneaks into a summer camp for psychic training in the hope of joining the Psychonauts, an elite international group of agents. He soon learns that someone is kidnapping the other campers and stealing their brains, and it falls to him to stop it.
Raz uses telekinesis, levitation and, above all, the ability to enter other people's minds, and each mind is its own level shaped by its owner. Psychonauts is a 3D action platformer from Double Fine Productions, released in 2006, with a comic and strange tone. It is single-player, and it suits players who enjoy imaginative platforming with strong humour.
