What it is
Psy High is a text-based interactive supernatural mystery novel by Rebecca Slitt, published by Choice of Games. When students at a high school develop psychic powers, the player and their friends must investigate the principal's plans and decide how to respond. Choices shape both the mystery and the player's place in school life: a character can be an athlete, actor, brain or rebel, and use psychic abilities to help others or pursue personal gain. The story also includes uncovering town secrets, seeking a scholarship or a role in a school play, and pursuing romance. Character options include male or female and gay, straight or bi. There are no graphics or sound effects; the experience is driven by text and the reader's imagination. On Steam, it is listed as an indie RPG for Windows, macOS and Linux, with achievements, captions, Steam Cloud and Family Sharing. Its listed release date is December 22, 2014.
