GN Version 5.0

For the physical release of Mango Protocol's Psychotic Adventures series, Agatha Knife and MechaNika will be bundled into one game collection as Psychotic Adventures Origins.

These games managed to build a respectable fanbase over the last years, and this happened for good reasons: The game's universe is incredibly charming, but has a lot of dark humor, polarizing topics and weird characters, which truly make the Psychotic's world come to life!

About the games

Tackle controversial topics through the eyes of a child in these satirical adventures that will lure you to the dark corners of everyday life.

Create your own religion piece by piece or craft your way to world domination in this uniquely colorful and hand-crafted world. Meet the peculiar characters of the Psychotic Adventures and uncover their stories that unfold as you progress during your quest.

Psychotic Adventures Origins is a compilation of the first two games set in the Psychotic universe: Agatha Knife and MechaNika by the Spain-based developer Mango Protocol. These two games laid the groundwork for the weird and colorful setting of this series.

Game Features:

Two beautifully hand-illustrated adventure games with an engaging narrative and creative puzzles.
Combined playtime of over 10 hours.
Features lots of unique characters from the Psychotic universe, all with their individual storylines that overlap and unfold as you play through both games.
Tons of hidden references to gaming, comic, movie and music culture for the players to explore.
Explore the crazy universe and unlock up to 60 secret achievements
Available ingame languages: German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Catalan, Korean, Russian, Japanese

About the translations:

Despite being adventure games with a large amount of text (roughly 100k+ words), the games have already been translated to many languages by various contributors. Especially with games which heavily rely on humor and quirky characters like these, a good localization is really important, and each of them does an astonishing job on that.

First Press Games' localization team provides a new Japanese translation for both games, which will be added to the physical release, which helps to let it reach even more gamers all over the world!

Physical PS4 & Switch release

First Press Games is working with Mango Protocol to give both games a truly outstanding physical release, with merchandise that might as well come straight out of the game's universe!

The preorders for Psychotic Adventures Origins will open on Thursday, 9th of July 2020 at 7PM CEST / 1 PM EDT on First Press Games' website.
