i like!
Played this on Xbox during lockdown and loved it so much that I'm gladly replaying again. Wholly unique and somehow nostalgic.
This game is a ton of fun! Playing it was almost as exciting as learning how to use the computer for the first time and seeing the possibilities, all over again! There are a ton of neat details tucked away in various corners of Hypnospace, tons of pages to explore, and a few neat activities/minigames along the way, too! It's basically "Early 2000/Late 90's web browser: The game". Going through the stories of the various Hypnospace denizens and how they interact with each other was a lot of fun. They did a really good job of writing them to feel like actual users you'd come across, with each person usually being involved in a few different activities, but not all of them, and having their own sets of beliefs, wants, etcetera. There was also a surprising amount of parallels to present-day (2025) issues with technology/the internet/social media, considering this was a game released in 2019, with a setting based off the internet in 1999. Makes me wonder how often the same issues have been brought up now that have appeared in the forums of '99... This game is also one of those rare games where I think "I wish I was able to do X, that'd be a neat feature" - only to come across that very thing later on! (Though I wont spoil what things exactly ;] ). One thing I wasn't expecting at all, but may make me want to start a new save is that some of what you do can apparently affect the story (Though it seems like the main events and so on are relatively untouched, and it's mostly details/a few individual user's stories that can be changed). Honestly, if there's any complaint I could have about the game, it's that it simultaneously has so much Hypnospace to explore that it can get overwhelming to try to see it all, and at the same time, it's so interesting that I find myself wanting to see more of everything XD. Overall, this is a very fun game that I'd recommend to anyone who likes to use computers and go on the internet a lot. Even if you weren't around in 1999 (Heck, I myself wasn't born until 2000!), playing this will still probably be a great time. I especially recommend it to those who hoard downloads in their downloads folder and have too many bookmarks... Like me! >:]

What a great game
I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ love this game i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love this game i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love this game i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lo
This game is in my top five favorite open world games of all time. The thing is, it's not an open world game, yet, it gives me a better sense of exploration than many, to the point that it feels like one. First of all, it's important to know that this game involves lots and lots of reading, and personally, I think the game is best if you're willing to read EVERYTHING, even if it has nothing to do with your tasks. So if you're not up for that, which is understandable, I'm not sure I would recommend it. But if you let yourself be lost in this network of people and their webpages, you'll be rewarded at every corner with little tidbits here and there about their lives and their relationships with each other. The game progresses through time, which is why it's important that you see everything, or else you will miss things as time goes on, and more importantly, you'll miss how those relationships/people/pages evolve through time. What I like most about this game is that, at first, all the characters seem like archetypes purposefully made to fill up this satirical version of the 90s internet, but as the game progresses, a lot of them are allowed to showcase their depth and the game refuses to let anyone be JUST a punchline. Beyond the writing, it's truly amazing how much creativity and care went into the creation of this game, mainly of the webpages that make up most of the experience. Each page is like a different person, because it truly is a reflection of the character that designed it, and clearly there is much thought and detail poured into achieving this. The visual aspect is already amazing, so it's crazy that there's also the soundtrack aspect on top. Each webpage comes with a little track that plays while you're on it. As far as I know, all of these (or at least most) were created specifically for this purpose. Sometimes they are simply fictional music that the webpage creator likes, but many times they're more than that. You may enter the page of someone who writes poetry and hear a track of them reciting it. You may enter the page of some soda company and hear their trademark jingle. There is a whole group of pages dedicated to a certain music movement and you'll find many examples of this movement across them. This game is just something else, and is clearly made with love.
jogo simplesmente maravilhoso
