This page sucks. If you could make it suck less, that would be awesome. Specifically: Poorly formatted, a lot of missing files & a lot of missing images.

Psychonauts is a cult-classic, underselling game about a psychic boy that infiltrates a psychic summer camp. Using several kinds of psychic powers, Razputin must try to stop the children's brains from being stolen. In his adventure, he'll navigate inside other people's minds and help them with their psychological turmoils. It's mostly humorous, but some small details may prove to be... incredibly terrifying. Some of them might have actually been considered too extreme, so parts of the script got left in the cutting room floor.

Li-Po Backstory Document

The Li-Po Backstory Document is a leaked backstory document accidentally placed inside the files of the Psychonauts Steam port.

Unused Graphics

Inside the game's main data files is a picture of a simple sound test background. At the moment, there is no known way to access a sound test screen.

An unused inventory item icon labelled "unnamed object". It's nothin', g.

Milla's Orphanage Tragedy

There is an... unsettling room inside Milla's Dance Party, that, along with the nearby memory reel, reveals that the orphanage in which Milla worked with had burned down, with the children inside. There are sound files and transcripts about Milla living the experience. After you hear these... you can imagine why they weren't included in the final game.

Name	Clip	Subtitle
MINO036MI		Who's going to adopt these poor children?
MINO037MI		Hey, what's that smoke over the village?
MINO038MI		Ohhhhh!
MINO039MI		Ahh! The orphanage! It's on fire!
MINO040MI		Oh, no!
MINO041MI		The children! Some one save the children!
MINO042MI		Please! Some one help!
MINO043MI		Oh god no!
MINO044MI		The babies!
MINO045MI		I can hear them!
MINO046MI		Can't you hear them!
MINO047MI		They're screaming!
MINO048MI		They're frightened!
MINO049MI		Don't cry, my darlings!

Milla and Sasha's Makeout

Milla and Sasha... romantically involved?

MINO028MI		Ahhh.
MINO029MI		Sasha...
MINO030MI		I don't care! I don't care who's looking!

Milla's Dance Party Cameras

Some scripted lines about the in-game camera, or some cameras in the party itself. The lines also reference rock stars, being a celebrity and a party that only opens for celebrities. Perhaps there was going to be a puzzle sequence where Raz and other PSI cadets had to prove himself of rock or music stardom to be able to proceed further.

Name	Clip	Subtitle
MITU043MI		Oh, some of these places can be so exclusive!
MITU044MI		Anyway, I'm sure once you show them what a rock star you are, doors are gonna open for you baby.
MITU045MI		You know I love you, darling, but you have to make the camera love you too.
MITU046MI		In fact, you have to make all the cameras love you.
MITU047MI		Being a rock star isn't easy!
MITU048MI		I know you can do it!
MITU049MI		Razputin dominates the airwaves!
MITU050MI		I need rock stars like you at my party!
MITU051MI		Get down here!

Milla's Dance Party Misc.

Some misc. lines. She seems to be conversing with a group of friends and discussing events right in front of her, so maybe the party at the end of the level was meant to have more unique (or just lots more) NPCs and look more like a conventional party. Since the party in the final product features the same architecture and similar level design philosophy from previous parts of the level, this may have been cut due to time constraints.

Name	Clip	Subtitle
MITU099MI		Which do you like better--spinach or onion dip?
MITU100MI		You know, I was hoping someone would bring that spinach dip in a bread bowl thing to the party, but nobody did.
MITU101MI		Then again, last time I had that, I walked around for an hour with spinach stuck between my teeth!
MITU102MI		Hey, you two! Get a room!
MITU103MI		Oh, thank you babydoll! So do you!
MITU104MI		Yeah, yeah, yeah. Call me!
MITU105MI		Hey you!
MITU106MI		Hi there!
MITU107MI		Oh, I'm so glad you guys could make it!
MITU108MI		Yeah, isn't it?
MITU109MI		Just throw your coat on the bed there.
MITU110MI		What are you talking about? You look great!
MITU111MI		Okay, that's definitely not Francois' wife!
MITU112MI		Oh my. Are THOSE two back together?
MITU113MI		No, no, no. Don't drink that. I saw someone put a cigarette out in there.
MITU114MI		Yay, shake that thing, beautiful.
MITU115MI		Down the hallway to the right!
MITU116MI		No, no. That's a closet.
MITU117MI		Now go mingle in the real world for a while.
MITU118MI		And tell Sasha I say hello!

Milla's Dance Party Dancers

There are a few scripts pertaining 2 cut characters. They both have the same lines, and the sound files use the same names, except that the high-pitched girl's files end with a B, and the lower-pitched girl's with an L. These don't even have subtitle text. Perhaps these were for a character with a split personality?

Late for Basic Braining

You can't read the message boards until after you've done Basic Braining. However, there is data for a board post that only exists before you can actually read it:

"If you're reading this then you're late for class! Report for Basic Braining immediately to avoid detention in the Geodesic Psychoisolation Chamber. --Coach Oleander."

PSI-Popper and Poor Guy

In the voice files for Black Velvetopia are two lines of dialogue attributed to Raz but spoken by a completely different person instead of Richard Horvitz. They were most likely used as demo lines for scripting. Interestingly, they seem to be misplaced, as the start of the used files for the level are 'BV' and voice files under a section labeled Common use 'GL'.

GLPP001RA		Hey, wake up you! I need a PSI-Popper!
GLPP000RA		Poor guy, looks beat.

Higher-Pitched Snail Dialogue

The snails in Waterloo World have two versions of each of their sound files: the ones that play in-game, and the same lines pitch-shifted higher.

If I only had a brain

Among the audio files for the Brain Tumbler Experiment is a short sound bite from The Wizard of Oz of the Scarecrow singing, "if I only had a brain", most likely put in as a joke.

Unused Textures

Unused referenced textures have been left in with the main game.

For example, psychonauts\WorkResource\Textures\LevelTextures\SA_SashaBrain - contains reference64x64.tga, reference128x128.tga and reference16on256.tga, a simple checkerboard pattern.

Photoshop documents used to construct textures were also included in the game. For example, the Photoshop document GMen_Disguises.psd contains textures that are shown in-game, although the file itself isn't used by the game.

To do: Add pictures of the unused textures.

Oddities

Two-Headed Dad Monster

The Two-Headed Dad Monster's textures feature an upside-down pentagram on Raz's Dad's forehead, which is not present on Raz's dad before his transformation.

your name here

In the Collective Unconscious, located between Coach Oleander's Basic Braining and Lungfishopolis, a developer credit slide with "your name here" can be seen floating out in the void. The slide looks exactly like one of the developer credit slides, but with a different font not seen on the used credit slides.
