Funny, Brilliant, Well Written, Clever
This game does a number of things impossibly well: 1) A hilarious and accurate recreation of what it was like to use the internet in the mid-to-late 90's. The color pallete, the graphical capabilities, even the slowness of the loading and the sluggish interface. Just the general vibe of the hypnospace is so accurate to the early internet it's really incredible - the way people type, the early lingo, the way people/companies aren't really even sure how to use this thing yet, and the "anything goes" feeling of what's cool and what's not. 2) Incredibly dense worldbuilding. The Hypnospace Outlaw team has made an entire alternative history with alternative sports, politicians, mascots, products, and even food. In this world, mix melted butter and ice cream and eat it. Or even taking the premise at face value, where people browse the internet in their sleep. 3) A great cast of characters. The archetypes were just completely spot on, but nothing is ONLY played for laughs, even if it might be mined for comedy at first. 4) Surprisingly engaging game mechanics. The game's long-term structure feels like a open-ended Metroidvania - you'll get money you need to buy certain plot related items, or special programs, or you'll just know things about the characters for specific barriers. You can even sequence break if you're careful. Most of this comes from things you notice and have to simply remember. By the end I had several pages of notes on a small notebook from this game alone. All in all, I LOVED this game. I was completely addicted to it for a day and a night, and it was an extremely well done game. It gave me nostalgia and reminded me of days on the internet I had completely forgotten, and it gave me an exciting mystery to solve. This is the kind of game that makes me use superlatives like they're going out of style, because BY GOD this is a brilliant vision of some very talented people.
