It’s much easier these days to find information we want. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, of course. The internet has become much more mainstream, much more normal. A handful of sites like Time Cube existed outside those realms, but as search engine optimization grew, those outliers disappeared. GeoCities and Angelfire were the go-to places for customized sites, and even if they used layouts, they were unique enough to instantly show creators’ personality. The pages and stories feel unique enough to be engaging, and I found myself repeatedly visiting some users’ sites just to better understand who they were.īrowsing was largely what many of us did in the mid-to-late ’90s.
Instead, the game continually pushes you to tangential storylines, odd rivalries, and conspiracy theories. In fact, I’d say that 80 to 90 percent of the pages in the game don’t relate to the main story at all. It’s all a convoluted mess with petty celebrity drama, and it’s beautiful to watch. Icicle Kid then moves over to the fungus music genre.Īs it turns out, Fre3zer is also secretly FatherFungus, the creator of the anti-consumerist fungus movement. Later, he fully leaves the coolpunk scene because Fre3zer-a coolpunk star-was caught lip-syncing. Basically, Icicle Kid wants to become part of the coolpunk music scene, and he posts his song “ ice 2 meet U.” However, the music is completely the wrong style for the genre, and he’s completely oblivious to that. I particularly like the slowly evolving story of Icicle Kid. My in-game desktop ended up a bit of a mess. The game has plenty of loud humor, but much of it is subtle, soft-spoken. While the in-game company spouts corporate nonsense about building the future, companies pump out crappy music to advertise their crappy pizza. With that said, Hypnospace Outlaw finds that difficult balance between nostalgia and innovation. In essence, they can’t reinvent the wheel, nor can they use square wheels they have to try something different. That’s the difficulty with writing, though, especially when it comes to humor and satire-the writers need to find some connection with the audience while making it feel new.

Most of the time, it ends up being full of half-hearted references to Nickelodeon, and none of it feels original. I’m usually wary of games that bring up ’90s culture at all. Hypnospace Outlaw doesn’t just exploit nostalgia You play as an enforcer-a moderator for the websites-and report rule violations. It’ll be interesting to see how Dreamsettler expands on these concepts, and how fans embrace Zane’s new adventure, too.In this universe, people browse Hypnospace’s social media pages in their sleep, chatting with others and updating their own pages. The game enabled them to use Hypnospace as an enforcer, who works in order to combat cyberbullies by punishing those violating copyright law, etc. Hypnospace Outlaw parodies the internet culture early, but players stay tuned to the world.
