Dream a little dream.

Psychonauts, an immensely original and funny 3D action-adventure platformer with surreal story and dreamlike 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.

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 turn down.

You're up for an unforgettable trip in Psychonauts, for only $3.99 on GOG.com. The promo lasts until Tuesday, March 5, at 10:59AM GMT.

Wishbone: Has the GOG version been updated to the latest version? As far as I recall, Double Fine did some work on the game before it was included in the HIB.

Not that it affects me, as I have the game from both here and there, but others might want to know.
Pretty sure they still don't have it. I'm surprised they allowed other Double Fine games on GOG after seeing how they neglected the GOG release of Psychonauts.

firedrake62: Thanks for the info, will purchase this game and wait out for the Mac version.

JMich: This doesn't mean that Psychonauts will be in the next mac batch, but it should eventually get the mac version (though I hear it's a bit buggy). There should be people here who can help you get it running on mac though, even without the mac version.
Noted, will look forward to a Mac version in the future even if not in the next batch. :)
I have literally bought this game three times. First while on sale here at GOG, a second time full priced on Steam because I wanted achievements and heard about the patching being better there, and a third time through the Humble Bundle. Funny enough, I never got around to playing it.

So, I've finally booted up my Steam copy and finished it.
It's amazing.

Seriously, anyone on the fence should just snap it up. Do it. Don't linger.
Nice promo, game worthy of getting :)

Yeah, I guess the complete lack of a blue response means "No" :-(

I really wonder why. Too bad.
Is this the first rerun Gem promo? Was it also the first the Gem promo to begin with?

I do not know what the latest version or patch is, but the GOG version I checked today is 1.0.0.6 which is the same as when I downloaded it back in 2012.
Given how few hours are left I am sure this is of little use, but hopefully people will still buy this game as it is fun.

There is a patch for the retail and GOG versions of Psychonauts on the forums by Voodooman. If anyone wants to look at it the link below it should hopefully take you to the relevant page.

firedrake62: Just took a look at steam page on Psychonauts and am surprised to see system requirement for Mac; if this game is Mac ready, any idea when will GOG provide the Mac version?
avatar
JMich: Make of the conversation what you will :)
Yay. I like new mac version announcements. The gog mac catalog is becoming half decent.
Well GOG, i have to admit it, you know how to squeeze money outta me... :>

Because DF never provided one (except for the Steam and the recent bundle). I heard the patch not even available for original retail version.

Couldn't GOG get in contact with DF about applying the patch to their game?
