In is comprised of older users - if the game didn't take place in 1999, I'd call 'em boomers. You're supposed to remove any and all images of him, even if it's a child's drawing. For instance, the first case in the game is a copyright infringement case involving an in-universe old timey cartoon character known as Gumshoe Gooper. Most of the time during these assignments are spent browsing pages in whatever Zone you're supposed to be looking in. I'm a fan of this scrap of freedom in problem solving, particularly in the flagging department. In addition to the set number of violations, there's usually more that are happening, usually within the same Zone.

Emphasis on "if the player deems it" - in my playthrough, I flagged a user only once. (or companies do, in the case of copyright infringement), you're tasked with finding a set number of violations and, if the playerĭeems it necessary, flagging a user for racking up too many violation points. These case files are the meat of the game. Sorry, BitCoin fans!Įnforcers are given access to a special dashboard as well, containing emails and case files.

These are mostly self explanatory, save for extralegal commerce - Hypnospace uses a proprietary currency, HypnoCoin, which can be earned in a variety of ways, but notably cannot be exchanged for real money. Your main goal is to remove content and users in violation of Hypnospace Law, represented by the acronym "C.H.I.M.E.". Use the in-universe chat client, "Chit-Chat". You are equipped with an Enforcer headband, which means that the player cannot create a homepage (within the game, at least) or You, the player, take on the role of an Enforcer - a volunteer moderator of Hypnospace, so to speak. It's also similar to Geocities in that the entire thing is divided into Zones based on a particular page's subject matter Hypnospace is similar to AOL in that it's a community tied to a particular ISP (the corporation in charge of Hypnospace is MerchantSoft), which isn't able to access other sleep computing networks. The game takes place in an alternate timeline in which the Internet is accessed through headbands worn while sleeping, Hypnospace Outlaw bills itself as a "1999 Internet Simulator".It's probably best described as a puzzle/adventure game set in pre-y2k cyberspace. On top of that, I only beat two of these "recent" releases. At the end of the game, something big happens and it's up to you to piece together what took place.Being broke, depressed, and armed only with a computer that was barely hitting the threshold of "capable" in 2015, I didn't play many games released this past year. It's up to you to sleuth around and figure out how they were able to snake around getting caught. Some people end up breaking the rules, but not exactly out in the open. The further you get into the game, the tougher the tasks get. It may sound overwhelming, but like I said, the game allows you to tackle everything at your own pace.

Just be careful you don't download any viruses or click on any sketchy links. When you get enough Hypnocoin, you can spend it on little downloadables like stickers to decorate your desktop, mp3s to listen to, or virtual pets. Once you find someone breaking the rules, you can delete it from Hypnospace and make a little bit of Hypnocoin, the official currency. However, you have to make sure no one is harassing other users, using copyrighted content, or distributing malware. As a Hypnospace moderator, you aren't allowed to directly talk to them. People will make reviews, blogs, or just post about their interests. Some people post about conspiracies, some people post about religion, some post about music, and so on.

Communities like older people reminiscing about the old days or kids and teens posting about drama or the lastest new video game craze: Squisherz, an alternate history Pokemon. You have a number of communities to patrol at your own pace. In Hypnospace Outlaw, you play as a volunteer moderator, where it's your job to keep the users of each community in line and well-behaved.
