At the time of the theft, a curator was with the jewels, so he got stolen, too.
And who's the suspect? Norman Bates, of course.
The next night, a daring detective drives out to the sinister Bates Motel.
His plan: a) find the jewels, b) free the curator and c) take a nice hot shower, should time suffice.
Psycho is entirely controlled with the keyboard: direction keys for moving your character around, shortcut keys for performing actions.
You need to stand close to an interesting object in order to examine it.
Adversaries will appear at random throughout the house, putting you to sleep by touch and thus draining your precious time -- you've only got four hours to solve the case.
You may shoot the enemies as soon as you find a weapon.
As there is no other option for character interaction, this is how you'll deal with the Bates family as well.
About Commodore 64
Released in 1982, the Commodore 64 is the best-selling home computer model of all time, with an enormous software library spanning games, productivity tools, and everything in between. C64 game collecting centers on cassette tapes and floppy disks in their original packaging — physical media that's inherently fragile, so complete, working copies from the era are increasingly prized by retro computing collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Psycho for Commodore 64 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Psycho to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This C64 release dates back to 1988.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Psycho has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
