    Haven't had so much diving into a fictional world in a long time! It's entirely text based which won't be for everyone but the fictional internet feels so rich and fleshed out.

    The gameplay is not fun at all. It's just reading a bunch of websites to see what's wrong with them. There's a story, but the game is really a slow burn and it's not really that interesting.
    However, the atmosphere and general mood of the game are really cool. It's a game I wish was actually more fun to play.

    If you enjoy scavenger hunts, have some fond memories of the 1990s or, like me, have a passion for computers and the web, you will enjoy your role as a Hypnospace Enforcer. [Issue #51 – March/April 2021, p. 33]

    Hypnospace Outlaw delivers a truly unique puzzling experience that’s so easy to lose hours at a time simply browsing the world it’s created. It’s sure to be a smile-inducing nostalgia trip for those familiar with the likes of Geocities but for the rest, there’s a truly wild and funny time to be had here also.

    Hypnospace Outlaw is a fascinating experience that I wholeheartedly recommend. It is well-written and authentic, and while the early going may feel like completing chores, it soon tests the player’s detective skills. With cases that are satisfying to solve and a story that also applies to the internet as we know it today, it’s a must-play.
