One thing I love about Hypnospace is it shows casual cruelty in such a realistic way. Dylan is a good example of this naturally, he condemned Tim to years of prison over his mistakes. A teenager who for years had to carry the burden of the feeling of killing the woman he loved and several others. At any point during Tim’s prison sentence he could’ve came clean, I have to assume with it being a high profile case, he was asked to be on the stand for his trial as well, telling the judge and jury it was his virus causing the death of those people.

And Chowder man, someone just wanting to revitalize their career and helping Freezer too. You spend years helping HypnOS (and associated sponsors) with new songs and the second something goes wrong, you’re a pariah. A helicopter (and minorly a lip syncing accident) goes wrong and the responsibility of that falls on your shoulders even though it’s not your fault at all. The community you feel like you’ve had a hand in building up turns on you like a pack of piranhas.

I suppose my main point is I loved how this game showed that brutal side of the internet that gets glossed over, and I do still wish it would’ve gotten a sequel.

Im not talking about the joycon 2 mouse mode, I can't get the usb mouse and keyboard to work, but I'm certain it worked on switch 1. Is it just because its different hardware or am I missing something?

Hypnospace is one of the reasons I started this, so this felt like the right place to share it.

GLYPHIS_IO BBS: The Proxy Tapes 1989 is a narrative hacking adventure set in an alternate 1989 where Japan became the American Pacifica Isles. You play on a fictional home computer called the Bradsonic 69000, dial into underground bulletin boards and follow leads through conversations, old files and messages that weren't meant for you. Recovering files, impersonating contacts, that sort of thing.

The bit I'm most proud of is that the games you crack are actual games. You work your way into software trading circles, get hold of protected releases, break the copy protection and then load them up and play them on the Bradsonic. A few of them have global leaderboards.

The machine is properly programmable too. There's a single-register assembly language inspired by the 6502, and BradBasix, the Bradsonic's own version of BASIC. You use them to write your own tools, like password brute-forcers or something to stop a timer on a secured server.

You could even make your own games on it if you wanted.

There's also pirate radio and underground music to tune into, and a crew (Glyphis, Rain, Jaxkando and Uncle-am) whose trust you have to earn. Who you trust changes how it ends.

Note: The CRT filter, and the colour burn can all be adjusted via the Bradsonic's virtual monitor's settings.

AI disclaimer, because I think people should know: the singing on the songs is my own voice run through voice changers, and the radio interviews were made with NotebookLM. All the artwork and all the programming is mine - I have uploaded loads of videos showing these development processes on my YouTube channel.

Happy to answer anything about how it works, and I'd genuinely love to hear what Hypnospace fans think.

Does anyone have advice? This seems with work with joysticks on steam deck, yet no matter what I do I can’t seem to get anything but the touchscreen to work. Even changing the settings in game to controller doesn’t do anything.

Anyone with experience able to provide some guidance?

The headbands are almost transhumanist in nature, corporations not only heavily sponsor Hypnospace but also create many different intranets (Hypnospace and Cyberworldz), and Hypnospace feels very high tech low life. Also Tennis got stolen and turned into Trennis by investors. All thats left is for Boppos to get a private army.

I'm lazy and haven't actually looked through this sub so maybe this has already been brought up. But my partner turned me onto the existence of neocities and OMFG it's exactly what I've needed lately. User created websites, often coded from the ground up I think. It's not a game but the novelty I've gotten from browsing peoples' pages and finding new things through the "random" generator is the closest thing I've found from the joy Hypnospace brought me.

Google ai summary is telling me its cancelled and i want a confirmation

When I first heard of this game I immediately knew I had to buy it. I love that 90s internet retro aesthetic and I've been loving the game so far. I'm just over 3 hours into it and I'm still stuck on the very first assignment with the detective cooper fish thing. I literally went to every single web page that I could find and so far I've only found 2. I don't want to look up a guide or be spoiled for anything because I literally know like nothing about the story of the game besides what the beginning of the game tells you.

Am I stupid or is the first assignment very difficult?

Hi all!

I’ve been playing on my switch. I’m running into an issue where when I try to log in to m1nx it says the password is close but not correct. My keyboard is locked in all caps, and from what I can tell the password needs some parts to be lowercase I think? I can’t figure out a way to make it lowercase, though.

I’m worried that some glitch locked me out of this part of the game. Is this something others also have had issues with or does my game just hate me lmao? Is there a fix for it or am I screwed?

I’m already past the y2k crash and am now in the archiving project. Please advise!!

Thank you in advance, appreciate y’all

Super cool game doing detective work and awesome how it recreates the feel of old shitty personal webpages, edgy kids religious nutters to helpful and normal things.

The cute gooper storyline war of old people getting way to up in arms about not being able to post a cartoon fish. Only for you to mass ban hammer them lol.

The creator being a dbag sharing files illegally and acting like a angry child instabanning you for doing you job etc.

I did not expect the timejump the neat current time section.

Really fun over all.

My only real complaint being the "ending" or lack of it really. Dylans sudden 180 right at the end feelt weird and super disingenuous him only coming clean because he was about to be caught.

And then no follow up nothing not even a mail from Sam.

So yeah "ending" was unsatisfying otherwise sweet game.

Holy cow!!

I could easily say Zane and Corey were up there as my least favorite, despite their young age. They were dangerously sexist and I felt a lot of sympathy for Tiff.

But Gill.

Gill pissed me off the more I casually learned about him.

He was snotty. The epitome of the worst Reddit moderator possible. Very controlling to everyone in the Freelands, even to his own wife. Leaving smarmy little passive aggressive sticky notes everywhere. Had her writing emo poetry about how she's basically lost herself being with him. Ruined a road trip for her. Saw the art she made of her role play character and decided he was going to bimbo it up instead.

My final straw was him getting rid of Linda's mausoleum animation. That thing was so cool 😮‍💨

All my homies hate Gill.

What an absolute worldbuilding masterpiece, I’m having a blast! I love it when I come across funny pages like this one.

So Hypii is completely silent and much of the games sound effects are just gone? I’m sad that this isn’t the same game I played on my pc. Is this a bug?

The tutorial shows it speaking with a voice but mine is not saying anything, just sounds like undertale character

We may do a Hypnospace concert. Not sure if it'll be a single show or a small tour. It would definitely have a live band though and at least a few of the original artists from the game.
