About Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin
Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin is a virtual reality adventure by Double Fine Productions, released on Steam on 19 April 2018. It is VR only and needs an HTC Vive or Oculus Rift headset.
The story picks up right where Psychonauts (2005) ended: Raz, Lili, Sasha, Milla and Coach Oleander fly off to rescue Truman Zanotto, the Grand Head of the Psychonauts.
