Hypnospace Outlaw is getting a sequel. Well, a spiritual sequel called Dreamsettler. But it’s almost exactly the same thing: a detective game set in an old version of the internet, which you’ll trawl to uncover a mystery.
And there’s more: another new game called Slayer X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengeance of the Slayer. It’s more of an accompaniment or spin-off, and it’s fictitiously made by Hypnospace Outlaw character Zane! Though developer Tendershoot and publisher No More Robots are so committed to this fiction they’ll even apparently roleplay as Zane when answering questions on Steam forums and so on.
The Slayer X game is like retro Doom, or Duke Nukem 3D – a game in that vein. It’s pixelated and filled with trashy gore and ridiculous weaponry. And if you know the story of Hypnospace Outlaw, you’ll know Zane is out for revenge. He apparently found an old CD-ROM with the game on and decided to brush it up for a noughties audience.
