Psychonesis

Prisoners. Of the Mind. And the World's Largest Corporate Force.

Psychonesis is a survival extraction pursuit co-op game built around one terrifying truth: everyone you trusted was lying. Betrayed by the very people meant to protect you, you're now hunted by a billion-dollar operation tasked with the sole objective of capturing you and your fellow patients prisoners.

Your job is to get out. Stay hidden. Stay alive. Outsmart and outrun the people chasing you.

Gameplay wise, Psychonesis is a Prison Break and Heist Simulator, centered on the thrill of on foot and vehicle chases. It's a game about the run of your life — over rooftops, down stairwells, through chain-link and traffic — with a corporate manhunt closing in behind you.

Momentum Is Everything

Every escape lives and dies on speed. Master a deep, momentum-focused running and driving system that rewards clean lines, committed turns, and the nerve to keep your foot down. Chain vaults into sprints into a stolen set of wheels and take the pursuit onto open road. Break your rhythm and they close the gap. Hold it, and you're gone before they can call it in.

Fight for Every Inch

There's no fade-to-black when they catch you. Psychonesis runs on a full-body physical interaction system where officers tackle and arrest, players trip and fall, and every collision is physics-driven animation welded seamlessly into gameplay. Multiple bodies can tangle at once — and when a hand closes around you, you are literally fighting the physics engine to tear yourself free. Years of development have gone into making every takedown, stumble, and desperate struggle look and feel dynamic.

Your team can reach in and rip you loose. Or they can leave you in the dirt and keep running.

The Security Force Learns

Their officers are powered by Cyquential NPC Tech — a Reinforcement Learning based Behavior Tree system built on generative symbolic knowledge acquisition, developed over five years. These agents learn continually from their environment and progressively build more complex actions, meaning the security force adapts in real time to how you and your squad move. The trick that worked last night won't work forever. Neither will the route.

The Story

You were never a patient. You were inventory.

Somewhere behind the glass and the clean white corridors, a billion-dollar corporation known as Unified Rewinds is holding you and your fellow patients. Their highly funded private security is paid to make sure nobody walks out. Disguised as a psych ward, they initially promised you safety, paradise, and protection. “It’s for your own good, they said.” Turns out they were lying all along, and you fell right into their trap.

Locked away and trapped on their remote islands,  you’re now subject to their horrendous experiments. Like Alcatraz, your body has become the product, and you are their most prized possession. To escape, you must break out, and journey across their chain of increasingly dangerous islands, collecting fuel for your boat to make it to an airport located 1000 miles away. Each island reveals more about the truth of Unified Rewinds - learn why this company is doing what they are doing, uncover their horrifying secret experiments, and discover the hidden truth behind the whole entire operation.
