A lonesome figure ventures forth into a land full of strange creatures and hidden dangers. But there are no brains this time, only surreal, psychedelic beauty. Keeper is a story told without words, in which a long-forgotten lighthouse is awakened and, joined by a spirited seabird, it embarks upon a heartening tale of unlikely companionship, and an unexpected journey into realms beyond understanding. It’s a bite-sized, third-person puzzle-adventure, unlike anything you've experienced before.Keeper is out now on Steam! Don't look up anything about it, trust us, just play and immerse yourself in

When our awesome fans backed Psychonauts 2, they also helped support the creation of the video series.
