Psychonauts is a game in which the protagonist is able to visit people's minds. It uses a quirky, stylized art style and is both original and fantastic. While the real world is depicted as being relatively muted and dreary, mainly by using desaturated and few contrasting colours, the mind worlds are both colourful and insane.

The designers went all out with this game. Every person's mind is altogether different and creative use is made of that fact. For example, a paranoid milkman's mind looks like an American suburban area, but with crazy twisted roads, a bright glaring sky and camera's popping out of mailboxes and rubbish bins.

Alternatively, a Spanish painter with relationship issues has a mind like a historical Spanish town - except everything is in fluorescent colours and black backgrounds, as if the whole world is a black velvet painting.
