Hypnospace Outlaw

Hypnospace Outlaw es más un destino de vacaciones que un videojuego. Como viejales que ha navegado por esta versión idealizada de Internet que ofrece el juego, la sensación es casi como la de poder volver a ir en verano a Roquetas de Mar con mis padres, con tan solo seis o siete años. Es una sensación bonita, porque despierta buenos recuerdos; pero también amarga, porque sabes que son solo eso, recuerdos. Es una sensación, en cualquier caso, que agradezco experimentar. Especialmente si viene acompañada de un juego de investigación y puzles ingenioso, divertido y que no tiene problemas a la hora de meterse en algunos charcos. Muchas de las dinámicas que se ven reflejadas a lo largo del juego son tristemente muy reales. Reconozco que he sido demasiado tonto para resolver algunos de los puzles, algo que me suele pasar a menudo, pero aun así me lo he pasado como un crío. Como uno de seis o siete años en verano en Roquetas de Mar, para ser exacto.

There is something about Hypnospace Outlaw that really took my intrigue. This game immersed me in an era I have never experienced. The era of the internet where everything was not centralized or corporatized. An era where websites felt personal with their own little quirks. An era where everything was too free, but it was fun. But enough with the rant. The music is beautiful, the atmosphere really sets the mood, everything about this game is perfect. If you just want to experience something different and new, try this game out.

[h1]Summary[/h1] [list] [*]Many things to do and discover [*]Unique and very immersive [*]Compelling stories and lore [*]Amazing soundtrack [/list] [h1]Overall[/h1] [b]I'm keeping this review spoiler-free![/b] Hypnospace Outlaw feels nostalgic, but isn't exclusive to people who have experienced the early days of the internet. It's a very unique game and has a lot of personality and charm, The characters are intriguing and make the game feel alive and real. Looking at the store page might give you the impression that there isn't much to do or that it might be simple, but there's a lot more to it than it seems. It's definitely worth playing if you like browsing weird websites, investigations or discovering secrets. The music in the game was way better than I expected and is very catchy, with a lot of variety. There are a lot of songs and there's even a Music Player for your in-game downloaded songs. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] It's pretty much the same as using a PC. You have your desktop, an inbox, you can browse websites and more. It feels incredibly authentic and whether you're investigating websites or casually browsing them for your own leisure, it manages to be engaging and interesting. The difficulty depends on you and the information you manage to find. Also, there's a lot of freedom to do things at your own pace. [h1]Graphics[/h1] It's not just a copy of an OS or the regular internet: it feels original. You can find and watch videos, customise your desktop or read people's websites, but it always fits together well and nothing looks out of place graphically. [h1]Story[/h1] I would say that the story is very memorable and gets you invested. The world of Hypnospace Outlaw feels very fleshed out and has a lot of lore. There are news articles, music reviews, blogs and so much more that makes you forget that it's fictional. Characters are intriguing and even unimportant websites can be enjoyable to look through. The game manages to find the right balance between the amount of humour and tension. I highly recommend this!

Amazing, astounding game. I'm lost for words, you could see how much love and effort was put into this game. As someone who grew up in the late 1990's this was darkly nostalgic. The mystery and hidden elements to it kept me hooked and I played the whole game in one sitting because I was so captured. Thank you to everyone that worked on this and everyone who supported it. I'm just bummed they didn't do a sequel.

The idea and concept are cool, but I did not enjoy playing this. I tried for an hour and realized while I loved the idea of it, I wasn't enjoying it at all lol

Have you ever wanted to return the internet of the 1990s and moderate Geocities, Tripod and Angelfire pages full of personal ramblings, GIFs and bad MIDI music? That's sort of what Hypnospace Outlaw delivers, but it's far more dreamlike (quite literally!) and includes some great writing, music, quasi-adventure game puzzling and more! It's a very special game with a lot of heart, and it has a spin-off 1990s-style shooter called Slayers X you will also want to play!

This game has been one of the most unique I've ever played. The visuals were great, and it felt like surfing an alternative version of the internet. Learning how to browse and solve the puzzles requires some patience, but it becomes much more enjoyable once everything starts to click. It was a strange and beautiful experience, but it's a shame that the sequel was cancelled.

It's too expensive! I finished this game in 2 hours and I just can't say that a 2 hour game is worth twenty bucks. Yes, I should have taken it slower; but even then, a three-hour game would still be dubious at that price range. Considering how long this has been out, it should be a five-dollar game. It's really cool though. Very immersive. Just not worth twenty bucks In My Humble Opinion
