History
The game was released on the PC, PlayStation and 3DO. The game includes adult language and sexual content in the PC and 3DO versions, which was censored from the PlayStation version.
The game received mixed reviews on its first release. Arinn Dembo, writing for Computer Gaming World, gave the game 4 stars. GameSpot gave the PC version a 4.7, calling the game "innovative", but asserting that the overabundance of interaction and storyline branches turns the experience into a confusing mess. They concluded "Instead of being like a good movie enhanced by interactivity, Psychic Detective is a more like a movie... clouded with interactive options that eventually detract from the project." Live action footage from Psychic Detective was edited together to create a short film that was shown at a film festival in the mid-1990s.
This game is not to be confused with the Japanese-only Psychic Detective series of adventure games developed by DataWest.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“A great proportion of the inhabitants of the Cape are always thus abroad about their teaming on some ocean highway or other, and the history of one of their ordinary trips would cast the Argonautic expedition into the shade.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
