Psycho Adventure Game

Psycho Adventure Game is a traditional adventure game that transfers the events of Alfred Hitchcock's foundational film Psycho to video game format, reinterpreting some of the most famous scenes to create a well-rounded gameplay experience. So, while the main storyline remains largely intact, several puzzles have been added to make the game more challenging.

Same plot, same characters

Anyone who has seen Psycho will automatically recognize both the story and the characters. The game, in fact, starts with a scene from the movie in which the main character, Marion Crane, is driving in the pouring rain after making off with a pile of money. In the distance, she sees a roadside motel and decides to stop. You start controlling Miss Crane directly here and must help her settle in Bate's Motel.

Traditional game experience

The gameplay of Psycho Adventure Game will be familiar to anyone who has ever played a traditional point-and-click adventure game. At the bottom, you will have nine different verbs, which you can use to interact with the different elements of the setting and the rest of the characters. You can look at any object, talk to characters, open and close doors, push and pull, use, give, and, of course, take items from the scene to add to your inventory. This is how you will have to try to solve all the puzzles in the game and advance in the story.

A story with several protagonists

When you start playing Psycho Adventure Game, you control Marion Crane and have to help her check into Bate's Motel and hide her money in a safe place. However, as you progress through the game, you can control more characters. Each character in the game has their own items in the inventory and, of course, their own objectives, which you must try to accomplish. The different changes in perspective that you will experience throughout the adventure can be pretty surprising.
