About Hypnospace Outlaw

About this game

Greetings Enforcer, and thank you for enlisting in the Hypnospace Patrol Department! As the corporatocracy sleeps, outlaws are out there committing terrible transgressions all across our beloved Hypnospace, and these virtual streets aren't going to police themselves!

Hypnospace Outlaw is a '90s internet simulator in which you scour Hypnospace's wide variety of weird and wonderful websites to hunt down wrongdoers, while also keeping an eye on your inbox, avoiding viruses and adware, and downloading a plethora of apps that may or may not be useful.

As part of your job as a Hypnospace Enforcer, you'll be watching out for copyright infringement, internet bullying, and more, with reports and rewards coming direct from the Hypnospace Patrol Department to your inbox. In your spare time, you can customize your HypnOS desktop however you see fit, with a variety of downloads, wallpapers, screen savers, and helper bots to keep you company.

So slip on your Hypnospace Headband™, and keep these key directives in mind:

  • Crawl through Cyberspace: Scour the darkest corners of the Web for scumbag users who violate Hypnospace law!
  • Dangers and delights: Download groovy GIFS and MIDI files, but watch out for adware, toolbars, and hackers!
  • Treasure hunting: Do your job to earn Hypnocoins, or ignore your inbox and go hunting for hidden pages, downloads, and secrets!
  • Relive your childhood: Equip obnoxious screensavers and skins for your desktop, and wiggle your mouse pointer around to make pages load faster!

Hypnospace Outlaw has 31 accessibility features including text-to-speech, one-button play, and navigation clarity!

Very interesting experience. Being a very nosy person, I love it when I get to stalk fictional characters' pages and conversations, and this was an extremely fun way to scratch that itch. The music is strangely addictive, the graphics are nostalgic and just... the cringiness of it..... it's all very delightful. Of course, the story is quite good as well, and I even felt a bit scared or disturbed at times, which I did not expect from a game like that! I would recommend for sure, if not the game, then the song Ready to Shave by Hot Dad (the CHOWDER MAN)

Who lived through the 90's on the internet will get this. It's really well written and interesting. Sadly the goals are really vague and the number of pages is pretty high. You will spend hours just browsing and unlike in Orwell it will seem somewhat pointless for most of the time. But definitely worth trying.

The game is really funny, I don't know how long it is because I haven't finished it yet but it seems like a fun game to just open and mess around for a while because there's so much to mess around with. You can (IN-GAME) download viruses, customize the desktop, and do all kinds of customization. The 'gameplay loop' isn't anything fancy, but I still recommend the game if you want something fun and light-hearted to mess with. Developers seem like cool people, too.
