Our first GameClub game is... Psychonauts! (Patreon)
Content
Let me give you some historical context for this one. Psychonauts is the first game by Double Fine - a studio formed by Tim Schafer (Full Throttle, Grim Fandango) after he left LucasArts.
The game was made by a bunch of ex-LucasArts employees, with writing by Portal funnyman Erik Wolpaw.
Psychonauts has some leftover ideas from Tim's work on point and click adventures, but is ultimately a 3D platformer in the vein of Super Mario 64 and Ratchet and Clank.
The game was released in 2005, for PC, Xbox, and PS2. It was critically acclaimed, but tanked at retail. It has a cult following though, which has led to the announcement of a sequel, Psychonauts 2.
You can get the game on PC, Mac, and Linux on GOG.com and Steam. It's also available on PS4 via the PlayStation Network (US and UK links). You may be able to buy it on Xbox Live for 360? Either way, you can buy cheap Xbox (backwards compatible with 360) and PS2 versions on eBay or wherever.
Right, start playing whenever you're ready. Play as much as you want - you don't have to finish if you don't want to! I'll make a new Patreon post on Feb 26th where everyone can share their thoughts, and chat about the game!
