Lost Tomb 2 gave us that thrilling mix of ancient mysteries, eerie legends, and unbreakable bonds between characters — and Psych Hunter delivers all that and more, wrapped in a unique psychological twist.
Set in Republican-era China, Psych Hunter follows a young man who solves paranormal cases using the power of his mind — quite literally entering people’s subconscious to unlock hidden memories. While the setting shifts from tombs to the mind, the suspense, danger, and emotional stakes feel just as intense. And the cases? Still soaked in the same eerie atmosphere, unsolved puzzles, and deadly secrets.
Much like the bond between Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling, Psych Hunter centers around a loyal trio: the psychic Jiang Shuo, the sharp ex-soldier Qin Yiheng, and the brilliant psychiatrist Yuan Muqing. Their teamwork, loyalty, and occasional teasing will give you that familiar brotherhood vibe that Lost Tomb fans live for.
If you loved the idea of cursed artifacts, unreliable memories, mysterious deaths, and secret pasts — Psych Hunter explores them all with a psychological lens that adds a fresh layer of mystery. And while it doesn’t have tombs or ancient relics per se, it replaces them with haunting dreamscapes, cryptic symbols, and shadowy figures from the subconscious.
The pace is tight, the twists keep coming, and the character development is surprisingly heartfelt. It's one of those dramas where the cases aren’t just solved — they leave you thinking.
So if you're craving something with a familiar vibe but a fresh spin, Psych Hunter is a gripping watch for fans of Lost Tomb 2. Dive in — the mind can be a scarier maze than any tomb.
