"Psych" is a weird, short, unengaging and pointless third person shooter/puzzle game where you control a little worm thing that escaped from some slugs in a futuristic lab and you have to get out. Getting out was one of the first things I thought about when I saw how bad the graphics are. What do you do in the game? Not much, you have a special psionic ability that you only use twice, there's only two short levels. There's nothing here. The game is quite short, and can be run through in just 15 minutes. The lack of content here makes it hard to suggest it's worth spending the time to add to your library and download. The game is really simple and unambitious in terms of implementation, more of a tech demo or one of those cases where an amateur developer spends $100 to publish something on Steam Direct to see if it's possible. Yes, obviously it's possible. A proof of concept, tech demo, or something that's less than a little blip on the radar isn't offering anything truly valuable to gamers. The graphics aren't great, really badly done assets, low poly, they look bad... at least we know it's not an asset flip, the assets look too bad to be published by anyone. That's unde…

Psych is an indie third-person action shooter developed by Shavaughn DaCosta and Zygobot and published by Shavaughn DaCosta alongside Ozgur Kaderoglu. Designed as a free-to-play experience on Steam, the game introduces players to a quirky science-fiction premise centered around an alien creature with telekinetic powers attempting to escape captivity. Rather than focusing heavily on complex storytelling, the game prioritizes action and experimentation with psychic abilities, offering a compact experience where players fight their way through hostile environments using a mixture of conventional attacks and supernatural powers. The project clearly reflects its indie roots, presenting a simple but creative concept that attempts to combine shooter mechanics with environmental interaction. The story serves primarily as a setup for the action rather than a deeply developed narrative. Players take control of Psych, a rare alien being gifted with powerful telekinetic abilities. These abilities have attracted the attention of a race of hostile extraterrestrials known as the Grugarians, who capture Psych and imprison him within a research facility. Their intention is to study and ultimately …

Игра 'Psych' — это настоящий подарок для всех, кто любит интеллектуальные головоломки и не боится пощекотать себе нервы. С первых минут она затягивает своей атмосферой таинственности и непредсказуемости. Игровой процесс построен на логике, внимательности к деталям и умении мыслить нестандартно. Каждый уровень — это новая загадка, требующая не только знания основ, но и креативного подхода. Что особенно радует, так это разнообразие заданий. Нет ощущения монотонности, каждый раз приходится применять новые стратегии. Визуальное оформление игры тоже на высоте: мрачная, но стильная графика отлично передает нужное настроение. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально дополняет геймплей, создавая полное погружение. 'Psych' — это не просто игра, это настоящее испытание для ума, которое оставляет приятное послевкусие и желание пройти ее снова. Определенно стоит внимания!

Like, it's free. and you really can't go wrong with free. The only thing you're wasting is your time, and you wont be wasting much since this game has exactly 2 Levels going for it. 1 Boss Fight, if you can even call it that. And basically nothing else going for it. no puzzles, no memorable encounters, no story besides what's stated in the description. It feels like they were setting up a real game here, And then it just ends. nothing else. Was this a tech Demo? theirs really nothing here to recommend unfortunately.

I really liked the music and design of the alien and a pretty cool concept, although I'd love to see more story elements. Some things that could be improved upon; Lighting (Very hard to see where you're going and where you're supposed to go) The Length (With only 2 levels, I finished it in under 15 minutes) Voice Lines (Maybe have some more sounds, as throughout the entire thing, the main thing you're hearing is 'Containment.....Breach......Detected' over and over again. )
