Psychic Detective , a 3DO game released in 1996, follows the story of Eric Fox, a psychic who lives in San Francisco. He earns his living performing magic shows, but changes when he meets Laina, a mysterious woman who trains him to enter people's minds. Laina hires Eric as a private detective to investigate the death of her father at a wake, where he must travel into the minds of the attendees.
The gameplay involves making choices on who to read into and interact with objects in the environment to gather more information. These decisions lead to different endings, including one that occurs if the player chooses not to intervene, allowing the story to unfold on its own.
