Hypnospace Outlaw
Hypnospace Outlaw uses an interface based on that of a user interface for a operating system and a fake in-game web browser called Hypnospace Explorer. The mission is to discover and report rule-breaking content assigned to the player by Hypnospace staff. Investigation of cases requires exploration of web pages and searching, aided by hints given by the content of the pages. HypnoCoin, the game's main currency, is earned by reporting and closing assigned cases. This currency is exchanged for downloadable programs, virtual pets, wallpapers, themes, and content that advance the story. It also parodies popular bands during 1999, with many webpages music coming from in-game bands such as "Seepage", "Fre3zer", and the "Chowder Man".
