- commissioned you to perform an internal investigation into a C.I.A.
- mishap that he believes has been deliberately created by an inside
- source. A Psychotronic Generator purchased by the U.S. from the
- former Soviet Union has mysteriously vanished from a deadly C.I.A.
- plane wreck.

-
- Multiple Players:
-
- For a brief moment the creator of The Psychotron had a flash of
- conscience. He decided not to perpetuate the vision of a ten year
- old sitting alone in front of a computer for twelve hours a day
- drinking some artificially flavored drink and then trying to bribe
- someone with game cartridges to kill a classmate. So, it is valuable
- to play with others rather than just playing with yourself. Watch
- the player box on your information panel. It will tell you when to
- change players. You should appoint someone to be player "one"
- to manage game navigation and take notes.
-
- The Psychotron keeps score based on good, educated questioning.
- Each character that you may encounter has a maximum score
- associated with them. In each scene, every player has an
- opportunity to score the same amount of points. If you die, all
- your points are taken away. At the end of the game, the player
- with the most points plays the last scene.
