An internet simulator set at the turn of the 21st century, Hypnospace Outlaw is one of my favourite games that I played in 2020. It's dripping in 90s nostalgia, and its keen sense of humour is colourful as you're invited into a faithful parody of online tropes from the time.
Most importantly for The Sound Test, the experience is utterly packed with original music. From MIDI-esque sample sets to entirely new genres, like Coolpunk, Hypnospace Outlaw never ceases to amaze with the sheer level of detail in its music. Through this podcast, you'll get more acquainted with The Chowder Man, jam out to some Klyfta and tap your toe to Redstryke - all while learning more about the lengths Jay Tholen went to in order to fill his game with musical life.
