Razputin and the Psychonauts

Get psyched!

In a world of Psychics capable of bending reality, telekinetically tossing tanks, and literally stepping into the human subconscious, the elite among them join the Psychonauts, a global secret agent agency. However, decades of fighting mental wars have left the agency’s top operatives profoundly unstable, neurotic, and unfit for HR approval. Enter 15-year-old Razputin "Raz" Aquato. Having escaped his family’s circus troupe, Raz sneaks into Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp. To the public, it is a rustic getaway for gifted children. In reality, it is a grueling boot camp designed to weaponize adolescent minds.Raz quickly realizes that the path to becoming a hero is paved with dark absurdity. His instructors are battle-scarred veterans who use the kids to project their own unresolved PTSD. Training exercises involve diving directly into the fractured minds of counselors and fellow campers. Inside these mental landscapes, Raz battles literal inner demons, emotional baggage monsters, and personified coping mechanisms that are actively trying to kill him. The stakes escalate drastically when a mysterious entity begins harvesting the brains of the campers, leaving behind mindless, zombie-like shells. To stop the conspiracy, Raz must navigate corporate greed, government cover-ups, and the terrifying depths of human memory. The series balances high-octane psychic battles—featuring pyrokinesis, levitation, and memory manipulation—with a sharp, satirical look at mental health, institutional corruption, and the agonizing awkwardness of teenage life.
