Development

Sometime in the same year, a "Psych Test" was released on Jellyvision's site as a Flash game, where it would have the "licenced therapist" Dr. Sandy Whiteman ask you personal questions (like your gender, the size of your head, among others) as well as some rorschach paintings, portrayed with bug splatters, and calculate them to make their character. Then you'd be presented with another patient, Jenny. A question will then pop up, which she'll get wrong, and you'll then have to answer it. After that, you'd be prompted with a DisOrDat, with either the answers being names from the movie Goodfellas or a Beanie Baby.

After's all set and done, he'll prescribe you with buying the game, of which another cutscene will pop up with bugs detailing the new features that the game has.

Trivia

This is one of the two only games in the You Don't Know Jack franchise to not include numbers as the player "avatars."
