About the Game

PSYCHE features a unique second person mechanic, where your play space is mirrored above you, and you can fire at enemies at the mirrored play spaces to deal more damage to the enemies that seek to shatter you.

Dodge enemies, watch your feet and carve an exit in first person, before switching back to second person to handle the unsettling number of enemies still chasing your tail.

Mastering your spatial awareness and target priority, as well as your movement skills is key to completing a run through your PSYCHE.

------------------------------

Backflip, frontlip and bunnyhop around your environment to outpace the surreal manifestations of the dream. Let your Moon charge it's beam to fire at the ground, giving yourself a leap of pace and escape tricky situations, or add a little flair to your latest attempt at a PB.

------------------------------

Compete for high scores, see your run stats and optimise, can you find a strategy that dwarfs all others? Learn to use the Roil mechanic to maximise your score and carve your own strat through the PSYCHE.

------------------------------

Review your gameplay, or others! With the replay system, you can find methods to optimise, or steal strats from your peers, to push your score further. Or just use it as a screensaver. Either/or.
