10 Best Video Game Reveals You Had To Find Yourself
10. Milla's Children - Psychonauts
Double-Fine's Psychonauts is a game all about finding hidden things: the things we try to forget. By traveling into the subconscious minds of numerous characters, the largely comedic game is, strangely, entirely about trauma.
Taking place in a summer camp for psychics, the game's early levels are crafted by the councilors for the purpose of training their students. As expert psychics, they can make sure you only see what they want you to see. No trauma here - just fun!
Take Milla, a levitation teacher who uses her relentlessly cheery, party-girl attitude to craft a dance party where the kids can learn to levitate while having a good time.
Unless you happen to come across a very small hidden room, where you'll find one of the game's memory vaults - hidden places where people lock their memories away. In Milla's case, this vault shows her past life as the caretaker of an orphanage. She cares for the children as if they were her own, until one day she returns from the market to find the building in flames, her children perishing within.
Then another room opens, full of fire and the whispers of her children begging to know why she abandoned them.
Yay... secrets. Fun... fun... secrets...
