About the Game
Razputin “Raz” Aquato, trained acrobat and powerful young psychic, has realized his lifelong dream of joining the international psychic espionage organization known as the Psychonauts! But these psychic super spies are in trouble. Their leader hasn't been the same since he was rescued from a kidnapping, and what's worse, there's a mole hiding in headquarters.
Combining quirky missions and mysterious conspiracies, Psychonauts 2 is a platform-adventure game with cinematic style and tons of customizable psychic powers. Psychonauts 2 serves up danger, excitement and laughs in equal measure as players guide Raz on a journey through the minds of friends and foes on a quest to defeat a murderous psychic villain.
Experience an imaginative, cinematic story that mixes humor and intrigue, brought to you by legendary game designer Tim Schafer (Grim Fandango, Brütal Legend, Broken Age).
Explore unique environments using Raz’s ability to dive into people’s brains to battle their inner demons, unlock hidden memories, and resolve their emotional baggage.
Leap acrobatically through the air, traversing tightropes and trapezes in a varied, challenging, and joyful platforming experience.
Wield a powerful array of psychic powers to blast, burn and levitate things, or even slow down time itself to solve environmental puzzles and battle strange enemies.

Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
The timing was good because we're also making another addition to the game as it exists on that platform. Some folks really love to have all kinda of collectible stuff in one place, keeping games side by side with soundtracks and other special features. So we've added Double Fine PsychOdyssey as a kind of "DLC" for download.
PsychOdyssey is such a massively in-depth look at the development of P2 and we've tried to host it in a variety of places. It's a YouTube series, you can download the biggest and rawest versions on the Internet Archive. But if you're someone who wants everything nestled together in one place, this is for you. It's all there right next to your game on Steam. Pretty nifty right?
In many ways this marks the real conclusion to our journey with Psychonauts 2. It was a huge development process (made possible by our amazing backers and fans) that's really changed our studio in many ways. Mostly good! You learn a lot from a project like that. So! If you haven't played, this is your chance to get the game for a killer discount and if you've not watched the documentary, that's right there for ya as well.
We hope you enjoy!
