Hypnospace Outlaw

Hypnospace Outlaw is a simulation set in an alternative reality. The player becomes the guardian of the Hypnospace network, accessible only to sleeping people. Tendershoot studio is responsible for the production. The publishing was taken care of by No More Robots.

Plot

The action takes place in 1999. In this version of reality, a technology was developed that enables us to browse the Internet while asleep. The consequence of this discovery is Hypnospace - a network accessible only to dreamers.

In this reality, the player takes on the role of a Hypnospace police officer. They must search for and neutralize offences committed by users. In their free time the players can explore the web, get to know different faces of the surreal world and observe the community, which anxiously looks forward to the approaching year 2000.

Mechanics

The core of Hypnospace Outlaw is the fight against all online rights violations. The player receives a message about any such case. He or she may judge the case and give a verdict. For each completed investigation they will receive HypnoCoins - a virtual currency for which we can buy various types of extras such as new software, desktop motifs or games.

If we are not interested in verifying violations, we can go into the Hypnospace. The player can move freely through the reality created by the creators. There are many hidden secrets and websites waiting to be discovered. It is also possible to publish posts that have a positive or negative impact on the morale of all online users. It is up to the player to determine the mood in Hypnospace.

The network is not a completely secure place. We can encounter viruses, malware or hackers in it. They cannot be avoided, we can only repel attacks.

Technical aspects

Hypnospace Outlaw features retro graphics. The game combines 2D and 3D. Due to the inspiration drawn from the 90's, all visible elements have a very simple, austere construction.
