Incredible game, a snapshot of mid 2000s America which playing as a non-american is absolutely fascinating. Growing up in the 90s and 00s i experienced America through games and TV shows including this one.

I replayed this game on PC in 2023, at the time to play this game on PC you needed a super computer so it was a wonderful experience to play it on that platform.

Also the physics and driving in this game is still unmatched.

One of my absolute most favourite games of all time, it itches and scratches a part of my brain i thought could never be itched in a video game.

In this game you are an enforcer in an online sleeptime web service called “Hypnospace” operating in 1999. This games flavour is stooped in late 90s crap internet, awful web design with close-knit online communities. Through your enforcer role, you are assigned cases which involve navigating the “Zones” (akin to Geocities Neighbourhoods) of hypnospace to find infractions which you must use your CHIME moderation tool to combat.

Through these cases and your navigation of zones you get to see the lives of the users of Hypnospace, they start to become almost real as time progresses through the game.

The soundtrack to this game is also one of the best ive ever experienced, the game is almost a concept album with multiple collaborators taking up characters in the world of hypnospace like hot dad as the chowder man and queenjazz providing the music for ingame linkin park spoof SEEPAGE.

All in all an incredible indie experience from a genuine team of creators, I cannot recommend this title enough.
