When we talk about the PlayStation Portable (PSP) library, the conversation usually revolves around God of War, Grand Theft Auto, or Monster Hunter. But lurking deep in the digital archives of the PSP’s “Minis” collection is a title so strange, so niche, and so oddly fascinating that it deserves a second look: Hypnotism 2.
