Hypnospace Outlaw

[Guest]

Has anyone else played it? It's so good! Not only is it fun to explore webpages within a fictional Internet, it's also got a good story and great characters.

I feel a lot of people on here would enjoy it since it's really a huge love letter to ye olde web It's really cool how you get to know the characters by their webpages. It's also what inspired me to make a website!

Attachment is the desktop I have in the game. You can put stickers all over it to make it yours, it's cute.

Duuuude, I listen to the OST so much!! Millennium Anthem is a bop. Chowderman is such a fun character too.

So my story of this game is that Iv never played it. BUT I did to a sort of job interview/advice thing where I showed them my site and they basicly said "No one will ever hire you, but I think you'd enjoy Hypnospace Outlaw" :omg:k:

Id love to know how people feel it related to their web design. Does it inspire you? Do you feel its a parody of neocities? Do you think its a totally unrelated subject, or just loosely aesthetically similar?

I LOVE hypnospace outlaw. I've only played through it all the way once but I go back to it every now and then. The premise of browsing the internet with your brainwaves while you sleep as an unpaid volunteer moderator is simultaneously hilarious and horrifying

I got into it well before I found neocities, and while it didn't directly inspire me to make a website it definitely made me more aware of/helped me fall in love with the old web.

If it's a parody it is definitely of geocities rather than neocities, complete with districts and corporate interference. Although I think it is as much love-letter as parody.

They just announced a sequel to Hypnospace a couple hours ago! aaaaaaaa!!



Click the pic! Takes place 3 years after Hypnospace, and I see some familiar names in the screenshots... I'm super excited!

Hypnospace Outlaw is one of my favourite games! The sequel's announcement gave me an excuse to go back and 100% my old save lol

My favourite moments from the game are probably (minor spoilers below):

• In the Merchantsoft news page on New Years, there's an article titled "1999's Wackiest Criminals!", and it reads like "Number 1 is named Terry Crimesman. He [insert details of a horrific crime/abuse]. What an IRONIC NAME!!! :omg:k:"
• I really like Coolpunk as a whole, but the funniest part is probably the guy who manages to both miss the anti-capitalist message of Coolpunk and gatekeep people for "making fake coolpunk" at the same time.

i will put this on my backlog.

Been listening to a lot of Zared lately.

Also just wanted to chime in and say that Hypnospace is probably what kickstarted me down the path of looking up the web revival movement in the first place. In my opinion Hypnospace is a great way to introduce people to the concept of it. It's a fun and interactive way to give people a taste of what it was like to browse the web back then.
