Covertly one of the most well put-together worlds ever. Not a single pixel feels as though it doesn't directly contribute to characterizing Hypnospace, and the end result is a genuinely evocative encapsulation of the old Internet, of observation without participation, of the ways that humans respond to changing technology, and of communication as a whole. I can't fathom a more realistic portrayal of how Hypnospace would have turned out if it really existed, and combing through it to uncover its secrets was some of the most fulfilling exploration I've ever experienced. It's really hard to put into words how special this game is. An absolute titan of passion, creativity, and authenticity that deserves to go down as an all-time indie great.
