There's such a sincere love for the particular era of Internet this game emulates that radiates through every single joke and level of irony that it's operating on. The moment in the final act where you find The Chowder Man's demo for One-Legged Friend, this stripped down miniature ballad about his fall from grace and desire to get back to where he was, is genuinely heartbreaking. And then you remember a couple hours ago where you found the Christmas Pain in Christmas Town music video and the absurdity hits you again and you're laughing through the tears. That's Hypnospace Outlaw.
