The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who enjoy solving cases through observation, deduction, and a richly odd take on the 1990s internet: Browse eccentric personal pages, connect clues, and enforce the network’s rules while its users and strange corners gradually form a bigger picture. Tradeoff: Much of the play is reading, searching, and interpreting clues, with little conventional action.

What you are walking into
Hypnospace Outlaw is a '90s internet simulator in which players act as Enforcers, volunteer moderators who scour Hypnospace's surreal network of weird and wonderful websites to hunt down wrongdoers while also keeping an eye on their inbox, avoiding viruses and adware, and downloading a plethora of apps that may or may not be useful.
