"An alternate reality that feels so real."
The worldbuilding in this game is top tier. It's a high concept idea that hooks you right from the start: imagine a world where everyone uses the internet while they sleep. From there, things only get more interesting as you start your new job with the Hypnospace Patrol Department effectively doing content moderation for the entire web. The pages you come across feel like genuine discoveries and the 90's aesthetic was captured perfectly. But make sure you're ready for Y2K!
