Psycho World is a video game developed for the Microsoft MSX2 where players assume the role of a research assistant with psychic abilities in a remote laboratory. The game's plot is triggered by an explosion in the laboratory, followed by the abduction of one assistant by experimental monsters. The remaining assistant takes an ESP booster from the scientist to rescue her co-worker. As the game progresses, the player acquires psychic power-enhancing items from defeated monsters, gaining abilities such as ice, fire, sonic waves, levitation, and temporary invincibility.
A scientist and his two female assistants work on ESP research in a remote science laboratory. One day, a section of the lab blows up. It turned out that the monsters kept for experiments escaped and took one of the assistants with them. The scientist gives an "ESP booster" to the remaining assistant so she can go rescue her.
Your character possesses psychic power which she uses to blast away her enemies. You start the game with few powers and eventually gain more as items dropped by monsters are picked up. You control powers such as fire, ice, sonic waves, temporary invincibility, levitation, and more.
