If you were in Psychonauts, what would your subconscious world look like?

[Tenkage]

A Large Maze and each dead end would be a portal to a sub world depending on my aspects on life.

One would be a world of darkness, the feeling of lonliness would pretty much scare anyone in it, then again growing up I felt it many times

Another would be a large library, but the shelves are empty, Save for one book which can turn into any book you desire. It is a personifcation of my logic and yearning of knowledge

Another dead end would be full of pain and suffering, bodies around the dark dungeon room, torture devices and many suffering people. It is a reference to the feelings of pain I wanted to inflict on those who made me suffer

One other would be meadow full of nothing but Eden, it is kind, sunny, and pretty much Pardise, but it has a dark secret, if you forget where the portal out is, you will be trapped inside. It is my idea of how I know that Happiness will always have a price


Many other rooms exist but the main room (or boss room as it is) would be a large throne room with myself inside it. The player would fight myself in many forms depending on my emotions

Anger: A Large beast demon with speed and power, low defense, easy to beat if you attack attack and attack

Happiness: A Healer, high defense and heals self while being attacked, to win is to in fact not attack me

Sadness: A Depressed ghost, get close repulses you, must attack with long range attacks

Normal (I.E. Myself) a Swordsman who attacks with multiple strikes, an all around fighter who you must pretty much use your best moves against

Pretty much my idea

 

[Wintermoot]

A world that looks like a metropolis like New York filled with giant robots

Pyshonauts would have an AO rating, enough said

 

[lokun489]

chains, a maze, and a psychedelia backround.

 

[RoyalSorceress]

A massive library, shaped kind of like an M.C. Escher painting. All the books represent memories or are books I've read/movies/shows I've watched/games I've played.

At the very center of the maze is my secret haven,an open area with reading chairs, giant TV, computer and video game systems. Also, in the darkest, most remote part of my mind is an iron locked door that hides all the things I'm scared of.

The maze represents that I'm reserved and hard to get to know, and the secret haven represent that when you do get to know me I'm very open and friendly.

 

[HT_Black]

A bit like that.

No, I'm serious. That's pretty much pitch-perfect. Giant man-monster synonymous with fear and hatred; broken, twisted ruins of society; teeney-weeny you; vast, perpertually shifting world suspended in a vortex of loathing and nightmare...It's got it all right there.

 

[Mr. McFuzzers]

My subconscious world would probably look like an episode of Robot Chicken with a lot more references to gaming.

 

[Boxinatorizore]

First thing that came to mind is a kid in a dark room staring out of a window where everyone is happy and there isn't a worry in the world...hmmm?

I wonder what that mean?

XP

Your avatar is amazing... just saying...

OT: Mine would just be one room/area. and you'd be suspended in the middle, floating in zero-g, and all around would be floating words orbiting around the center of the area saying "WTF GABE! WHERE IS MY EP:3!!!!!1"

 

[brunothepig]

snip

So you're not batman though?
OT: Although I have yet to play the game, from what I hear it would pretty much be Brutal Legend.

 

[Zeromaeus]

It would have a sun and moon circling the area.

While the sun is above you, the world would be like a normal city. People would walk through the streets. Theme parks would be filled with people. Everything would seem nice and cheery. The people wouldn't talk to you however and walking through the world, you would notice that you aren't even acknowledged by anyone walking by. In the center of the city would be a large skyscraper. As you climb the stairs of the skyscraper (no elevator) you would notice that each on floor housed my various happy memories. There are no doors, however, only windows looking into the rooms from the halls. At the very top is a library filled with all of my knowledge where my inner self can be seen scrambling about, reading book after book.

At night, however, the city decays and falls apart. The buildings crumble and the roads become littered with refuse. People no longer wander the streets and the world is filled with near silence. There are people in this world, however. The people that I know wander from place to place. They'll speak to you and act according to the way I see those people. The shadows would move and swirl, reaching for you if you draw too near with clawed arms and tentacles of darkness. The skyscraper in the center would remain, nearly untouched. Each floor, however, would contain my worst memories and nightmares. The windows of the day are replaced with gaping doors, allowing my inner demons and fears to roam the building freely. At the top, my inner self continues to scrounge around in the library, reading every book in sight. The books, however are all blank.

 

[CloggedDonkey]

A very, very vivid place filled with different and odd people, each with different quirks and personalities. Underneath this place, however, there would be a much, much darker place. You see, I actually have quite a.. different childhood that I don't feel like sharing. Well, I'll share a few things:

Spoiler: A list of very messed up stuff

I almost drowned because of a douchebag lifeguard when I was eight (meet the final boss, people), giving me a lasting fear of being underwater and in water in general (such as I despise my clothes being wet, even if it's just a little bit on the bottom of my shirt), my parents fought constantly (I don't mean arguments weekly, I mean fights daily) during some of the bad times of my life, I was picked on at school (because I read Steinbeck and Sinclair, no less), I couldn't read until I was ten, making me feel stupid and have a slight self esteem problem (didn't help that Iowa treated my purely physical problem like I was hitting my head against a wall while laughing and clapping my hands), and I was slightly ignored by my parents a lot during the good times of my life, instead focusing on my brother for messing up. Oh, and I have a fantastic long-term memory, meaning I remember not just events, but entire phrases, words, even the tone of someones voice when they said or did things, making it so that I have to rememeber things I would rather forget for years and years.

I'm sure there could be something out of someone with all that shit in their head all the time.

 

[_Cake_]

Anyone seen that show for toddlers Boohbah? Basically that with hotties fighting over me.

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

Chains. Not the kinky sort, but the jailhouse sort, where you get locked up, and they don't let you go. Towering structures, all twisted and half-destroyed. The land, such as there is of it, is never still, but quakes and sinks and rocks, as if it were made of part earthquake and part quicksand.

And there would be fog, and every surface is sticky, like it was covered in weeks-old jam...

My mind would be mostly dark, but with occasional flashes of pure white light, beautiful and blinding, and short...

I'm a highly creative bipolar person, so while I'm really good at thinking and creating, motivation and emotional stability are an issue. My mind's projection would have to reflect that.

 

[sean877]

inFamous+Prototype+Fallout+AC/DC soundtrack+harem
How does that sound everyone?
Post-apocalyptic world filled with people with super powers, zombies, awesome music and....well harems

 

[Yureina]

Something paradoxical and not easily understood. A world that is opressive, inescapable, and, at times, brutal as it remains caught up in its own affairs and is generally unwilling to accept change. At the same time, there is also something strangely compelling or beautiful about this place, as if it is somewhere that has managed to escape so many of the problems that plague reality. A place that a person may want to stay in forever because it is a fascinating and wonderful place, or it can be a place of terror and horror that they would want to flee at any price.

 

[SUPA FRANKY]

You ripped me off! I made a topic like that! Use the search bar sometime!

It would be a prison island. Each
cell would be filled with a character representing my ideas,likes,dislikes, and my true self. Raz would have been captured and imprisoned. After a few mix and matching, Raz will start to lead a HUGE jail break, with every fiber of my being clashing into one, big, violent mess.

Raz would then face off with the warden. A enttiy that can take any size. He represents an...obstacle i always feel. How I'm never able to let out my feelings into the real world. Sort of like a roadblock. He would fight by turning into a giant and bashing at Raz, to shifting into a tiny state to nitpick at him.

 

[Snarky Username]

Segmented. One side very colorful rainbowy (which is a word now!). Cute bunnies everywhere you see and maybe an otter or two, not unlike my avatar. Another dark and depressing. Dead bunnies and dead otters. Maybe music by The Cure playing for good measure. And then another would just be blank gray full of ideas written all over the walls in black sharpie.

And in the middle a giant battle robot piloted by a squirrel because that would just be awesome and I like to think of myself as a rather awesome guy.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Well, I don't know how you'd visually represent my subconscious - the best I can do is give a quick listing of how my brain works.

First, I harbor a distrust for people I meet that borders on contempt until such time that they have proven their worth. This only applies to people meet directly on a regular basis: for the rest of humanity I often find that I don't even consider them "people" so much as "people shaped objects" until direct interaction occurs. Some have told me that this is a sign that I may be a sociopath.

Second, I have the attention span of a squirrel on meth. Strangely, if a subject interests me sufficiently, I find myself utterly absorbed in said subject until such time that my curiosity has been satisfied. This leads to a strange scenario where my mental processes are either intensely focused on some trivial matter (as an example of this, while driving I happened to observe my fuel economy dropped significantly on an incline. This lead quickly to considering how readily predictable such a drop would be which moved to deriving the equation for arc length. Sometime later, I ended up at a local mall, in spite of the fact that I was actually heading to the opposite side of town) or a nonsensical blur of thoughts and images that are linked by bits of various cartoons often enough to be unsettling.

Third, if a problem draws my attention, I tend to try and break it down into it's fundamental components before trying to objectively analyze the information. This may be a result of my first point. My assumption is that my perspective on those around me is based largely on the fear of emotional damage and thus I constructed a perspective where emotional issues can be logically sorted through. The result is that I keep people distant until I feel that I can trust them implicitly and attempt to look at issues without considering the emotional aspect if possible.

If that were made into a level in a puzzle platformer, I'd expect the result would be disjointed imagery populated by archetypal villains where my own subconscious would be personified by a homicidal version of a Clap-Trap.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

A pokemonesqe world filled with gangs, actual police forces and more intense battles. Trainers now participate using automatic weapons!

Oh, and there is no moon. It was destroyed.
