![]() It’s an uncomfortable realization that one of the characters you know or will come to know is a mole. He had to have had help, and for someone as important as Zanotto, that help had to be on the inside. Loboto couldn’t have captured the head of the organization on his own. The important thing is that Raz and the other Psychonauts agree that a crackpot like Dr. ![]() Not to mention, the animated sequence is a great lead-in and reintroduction to Psychonauts’ trademark quirk and charm.
