Time to look up "oniric"!

Psychonauts, an immensely original and funny 3D action-adventure platformer with surreal story and oniric environments, is available 60% off on GOG.com. That's only $3.99 for the next 24 hours.

In this world created by Tim Schafer and his Double Fine team, there is a very special summer camp for kids with psychic special powers. Just as in any other well-organized summer camp, the children participate in various activities to earn merit badges. But instead of kayaking, building stick huts, lighting fire with two pieces of wood, they try to master levitation, hypnosis, and pyrokinesis. But just as every good summer camp story, this one also sees a sudden twist, when a mysterious evildoer abducts one psychic kid after another into the twisted realms of nightmares. It's up to Raz, a young but extraordinarily gifted cadet, to save the day, and it's up to you to enjoy every single bit of this oniric experience!

Psychonauts combines a well executed 3D platformer mechanics, surreall design, fantastic plot, sharp humor, and many innovative ideas into one game that you won't soon forget. This title received high praise from gamers, critics, and game designers alike, and remains a landmark that stands out from a somewhat crowded genre. If you value originality and excellence in design, at $3.99 Psychonauts is an offer you simply should not refuse.

You're up for an unforgettable oniric trip in Psychonauts, for only $3.99 on GOG.com. The promo lasts until Tuesday, May 27, at 9:59AM GMT.

Is there actually anyone out there who do not yet own this game? What is wrong with you?

Barf, me too.
Zippy start to week.
Got this when it first arrived on GOG :D

If anyone has managed to not have this after Double Fine's bundle spree, now's the time to get it. This game is brilliant.
I have it on steam and one of these days I will play it.

PS I think I bought it for a pound

amok: Is there actually anyone out there who do not yet own this game? What is wrong with you?
Um... I am one such person... and while it is on my wishlist (i.e. list of games to get at some point), I am all tapped out. Going to have to pass on this one.

Having said that, from what I am reading both on the game card, the reviews there, and this forum, I gather this is better than the platformer Jak and Daxter: the Precursor Legacy for the PS2?

Same here, and I started playing this for the first time just two days ago. Maybe I've developed some kind of psychopower that let me control or predict the next gem promo...
Have it, but I have yet to finish it. Good game, tho not exactly to my taste .
One of very few games that deserves its hype.
Ok, if somebody doesn't have this yet (and isn't completely allergic to 3rd person action games/3d platformers), buy this! You won't regret it, and you'll finally get the reference when people yell:

"IT'S GOGGALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

totally, although it's true some levels at the beginning (not lvl 1, but maybe 2 or 3) can be a bit weak compared to the rest of the game. It gets better after the Goggalor level.
