Very addictive story, hope to see the next chapter

I must say, it's been awhile since I've read a fic like this that's managed to hold my attention to the point where I can't stop reading until I've reached the end.

The main characters making their return (Raz, Sasha, Milla, Ford, Oleander, Lili, etc.) have all maintained the same feel they had from the game even after several years have passed. Nereus, despite first being a, to put it mildly, jerk, actually comes across as a villain with motive and background. Him and the other OCs introduced are likeable in that they aren't overdone or overused cutouts.

The plot is creative too, in that it maintains the feel of Psychonauts, but a little more mature, though with older Raz this change comes as no suprise. It also builds on the curse on Raz and his family which was neglected from the game. I also liked how Raz experienced, and is still currently experiencing, considerable character growth, with both his powers and with his conflict with Nereus.

I for one enjoyed the repeated banter between Oleander, Sasha, and Ford that occured several times throughout the fic. The Oleander vs. Ford card game and the "short/Nein" puns made me chuckle as they seemed exactly what the respective characters would say to one another.

There were other parts that stuck out to me as pure "Psychonauts" gold, but to list them would be nuts in a review. Nor will I go and review every single chapter that is out there, due to the fact that it would get really repetetive putting "great job" 21 times in a row. I can put the fic on both my favorites list and my story alert, and reread the fic again when the mood strikes. I hope you continue at your convenience.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO UPDATED?!?!?! I've been waiting FOREVER.

This story is incredible; it is definitely my favourite fanfiction EVER. You are an AWESOME writer. The angst is immaculate, lol.

Heh, it's funny how blind a reader can be to things, until one certain thing wakes them up. Once I saw the line “Raz... be Raz, not him.” I looked back at earlier in the chapter and was consciously looking for similarities between this and Dominoes. (It's kind of amusing, comparing Lili to Luffy, though...there isn't a whole lot they have in common...)
I think it's kind of cool that you were able to adapt similar themes to two different stories; like the talk of revenge, counting enemies one has taken down over a certain period, etc. What we've seen in this story is a lot more lighthearted than Dominoes, though. On a related note, all the allusions are to die for...who would have thought Psychonauts watch DBZ? xD

*aims gun and swings that big sword around*
More. Need more. (T... V...)
Is this motivating? Because you've kept me up all night reading and now there's nothing left to read! Next chapter soon, please? I'll give you a cookie and spare your life. I can't get much better than that! So... write plz!

YES! BURN, NEREUS, BURN!
I like how he has a back story now. I mean, normally they just kill the villain and that's it. They were born evil and died evil. And finally, someone has made it more interesting! 8D *joy*

*yells*
now it's 1:30 and it's all your fault I'm still reading. Crongrats! :D I like this story... but I'm gonna shut up now and keep reading.
*eats popcorn*

DAMMIT RAZ
I hope he turns normal again soon.
And it's 12:06 in the morning and I'm still reading, that should be enough of a hint to tell you my opinion :)

I'm hanging on the egde of my seat! I really like how you've done the foreshadowing, very subtle! This is great, I can't wait for the next chapter.

I'm glad to see you've updated a few chapters since I last read this story. I know that when I had read it a while back, I was disappointed that I didn't know what was coming next. It's nice to see there's still hope for this story. I've been enjoying it so far, and would definitely love to see the conclusion.

NO ITS OOVER

ITS TOO AWESOME TO BE OVER

Oh man, I just wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying this. The plotline is well thought out, and after reading all the chapter that are up, it's still been bouncing around in my head for a few days. I love your characterisations of Sasha and Milla especially - the notes they both left for Raz in one of the early chapters was absolutely spot on, something I could see them being told in the game. You tend to get fairly cinematic at times, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just a bit jarring. Nereus is an intriguing villian, and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing if Raz decides to save him or if he's just beyond help.

The humour is great too, I was cracking up so bad at that conversation about Nereus' sexuality - it's just the sort of daft, comedic thing that fits right into Psychonauts. I'm enjoying this a lot man, and definitely looking forward to that little email telling me it's updated!

(also pinched the soundtrack, darnit I didn't realise this would end up fueling my guilty love of The Fray)

...
OH GOD! SPINOZA! YOU BETTER NOT DIE DANGIT! ( Great fic BTW. I usualy don't read angsty things, but this is pretty good.)

screen from the game shows what I was talking before.
