It's Psychonauts' 20th anniversary. 🧠🧠 🤯 What can you even say! It feels like yesterday butalso one hundred years ago. Double Fine took a big swing on our first game and let's be honest: we kinda nailed it? Thank you all for your love and support over the years. We love that you love Raz so much!

Sure. Man, this is a game I've been meaning to play through. I was hooked on this game back in, I wanna say, 2015. But I never beat it because I beat the milkman level and then thought I ran into a softlock.

Because I thought he was gonna throw a Molotov milk bottle and burst open the asylum doors in some kind of scripted sequence, but instead he just stood there. I should really go back and try again, and then play the sequel

Fell in love with this game when I saw concept art in a magazine in 2005. I remember making a fanlisting and was excited when it was linked on the official site! First game I ever pre-ordered. Still have the shirt! This game definitely had a huge impact on my love of character design. Thank you. 💜

psychonauts is such a gem! the sequel fixes pretty much all the issues of the first game, but the first game still has a lot of charm unique to it. have always loved the aesthetic to meat circus and seeing the 2 minds combine

Such a unique and fresh take on the genre with a very unorthodox and whimsical premise. I loved the original Psychonauts and also release enjoyed the sequel which I backed years ago. Loved that scene in 2 where Raz returns to the OG campsite in his mind and comments "haven't been here in... Days"

my friend, if I had *my* say we'd be making literally everything up to and including an immersive laser tag experience in Las Vegas designed by Meow Wolf

One of the greatest games followed up by an even better sequel, it’s been a joy to follow Raz and all the psychic and psychedelic adventures he gets up to. Here’s to many more adventures soon hopefully 💚💚💚

One of my favorite games of all time for so many different reasons. Waterloo World, Black Velvetopia and, of course, The Milkman Conspiracy were literal "woah, you can do stuff like this?!" type of eye-openers

This is one of the most important games in my life, and I love pretty much everything about it. The definitive platformer from that era in my opinion! Love to everyone involved in making it and the equally wonderful sequel!

Psychonauts is one of those cornerstones that shaped who I am growing up, sitting among the many mind altering (🤪) things that I wasn't aware about until first encountering upon experiencing it in gems like this. Just like how The Nightmare Before Christmas was one of those phenomenal executions...

...in film, for its art style and animation, the real reason behind its eternal fondness for me is the writing. At that point in time in life, seeing a character (Jack) deal with depression was such a foreign concept that even my parents didn't know how to explain it. It was one of those...

...fascinating things that not only introduced but beautifully elaborated those kind of mental health concepts. Just like how John Carpenter's The Thing nailed the viral space horror and the dread of uncertainty of what cellular mutations like cancer or even things like prions can be growing with...
