Everytime I hear the Nitrorad opening I expect to hear "Halloween special" at the end
LOL i literally said it out loud after the intro. What are the odds
The fastest spook in the west
BababaJake Halloween in March. My favorite
I can see it now, I am not the only one...
I do the same! Lol. I think the first videos I watched of his were all the Silent Hill ones
There’s this great user review on steam that basically says why I like this game so much- rather than bask in the stupidity of early 90’s internet, Hypnospace honors it’s creativity and passion. Yes, there are scumbags on there, but most of the people are just kind, misguided, or wrapped up in their own little worlds, but is that a bad thing? The game acts as a window into the psyche of people you don’t even know, and it’s amazing how sympathetic some of these text-only characters could be.
Hypnospace is an entire medium of self expression and that is a beautiful thing.
So if hypnospace a medium does that mean we'll have more games like it?
We always see 80's nostalgia pandering in media these days, and while there's plenty to like about the 80's, it's about time the 90's got its due. Hypnospace Outlaw really does pay homage to that time, and allows you to soak in the atmosphere of the early internet, which was simple yet brimming with personality and soul.
Bufudyne 90s games were doing that.
@@Tippex_Official They just announced a sequel!
@@MrSkerpentine holy shit that’s awesome! I was able to get the original when it showed up on gamepass a while back and, while I didn’t complete it completely guidless, I did enjoy it a lot and it was a really fun experience.

@Abrilla 2 M wtf
@Abrilla 2 M but why does it have to be a 2014 butt joke
[Abrilla 2 M] oh
you take the hot butter mix It with the ice cream

My parents almost became one of those types of Christians, however when one has three constant curious begging children who never had experience with Pokémon in their life they decided “Okay but if we don’t like it we’re giving it to your cousins” and we got the first Pokémon movie.
Long story short, many years later my mom is now super fascinated by Pokémon and we got her her own 3DS and Pokémon games for Christmas last year.
Awwwww. Nice.

its so nice seeing old people like pokemon
The Good Ending
My parents are similar, i think it's just misinformation about what Pokemon really is.
I remember being swept up in the "Pokemon is satanic!" craze as a kid. I didn't play it much to start, but I remember so many of my friends who loved it and were heartbroken to have to throw their cards and games away. Their supersitious parents just listened to their pastors, just like they listened to whoever else they got the conspiracy theory from. I remember being AT the service where Ken Graves talked all about how "satanic" Pokemon was for "teaching kids evolution" (it doesn't do that either). What a joke.
My Mom ised to be one of those parents. She relented and now looks back on it as a ridiculous thing to have believed (ironically right before they put God into the games. XD)
Going back and reading the articles that originated the panic is a real treat. I remember one site claiming that "pika-chus" were some kind of Jungian psuedo-spiritualism. They basically tried to roll everything a boomer could hate into this one game to a hilariously incomprehensible result.
I was lucky and my parents, uncles and grandmothers never bringed the "They are Satanic" to Pokémon, Digimon and anime in general. Funny enough, a couple of years ago, various churches in my city allowed people to play Pokémon Go at the main entrance or gardens. How things change with the years.
Nick on Planet Ripple That kind of thinking ticks me off. It kinda ruins everything...
When I was in school one kid was forced to make their "science" project on why Pokemon was evil.
I'm a simple man. I see James, I report James... For not having beefbrain pro installed.
I love how wiggling the mouse to make things load faster is an actual gameplay mechanic. There are a lot of instances of the game being true to life, but that really hits home.
wait that ACTUALLY WAS A THING WHAT. how does that make any sense lol
@@jeffboy4231 It's based on an actual technical relic of the past, where Windows 95 performs slightly faster if you move the mouse around. It's not a placebo, due to how W95 process things around.
I don't remember if it persists in Windows 98, by the time Windows XP rolls out, the problem is gone, but some people doing it out of habit to this day.
@@MakotoIchinose really confused on how that works lol
I think what makes a lot of these moments like the minor spoiler hit hard is that we most likely have experienced these things ourselves, on the receiving or the giving ends.
Bit of a truth, I actually had an experience when I was way younger like that moment NitroRad pointed out. I cared for someone for a long time, was amazing friends with them for years. But one day, they post a last post, saying that something had happened and that they had to go for a long while. That was about 7 or 8 years ago, but I still miss them in the occasional post I see from the past. Like looking in an old school notebook and finding that one doodle a friend drew on your book when you weren't looking. Tugs the heart strings man. Tugs em hard.
Damn this comment on it's own gut punched me.
@@Thewritingelf same, I had a friend just like that. And so it reminded me of her. Some days I think about her and what may have happened. She was getting sick at the time. We were really close and talked for years up until she left. Wish I knew what happened so I can have closure. 😞
The ending of this game... Oh my god.
The way they conveyed the internet is not only creative but aslo pretty accurate 😄👌
Hi
Fun Fact: Zane's "girlfriend" is actually him on an alternate account. If you check his headband ID, then his girl's, you'll find out they're the same ID.
Tbf you don’t need to check the headband ID to figure that one out lol.
Getting tired from checking your messages or browsing the internet? Take a break, play a video game, like Hypnospace!
Where your also doing that.....
But it's funner!
The intro was perfectly shot
Brady (the civilian) looks at the web
**Insane Rayman Fan Shows Up**
Rayman makes a proposal that there is something even cooler than surfing the web
**Sound Intensifies As The Biewer Sees That Rad has been Doping on Shesez, Instead Of Antdude**
Startropics, not boundary break man.
dis kawmment has left me moind blewnn
_The civilian._ in quotes is way more sinister than I’m comfortable with.
I SWEAR EVERYTIME I SEE HIS HAIR I THINK OF RAYMAN
I hope there's a sequel set in CyberworldZ. Merchantsoft's story is over, but it'd be awesome to see the competitor and browse even more weird sites. Regardless of whether or not that happens, Jay Tholen is a dev I'll be keeping an eye on for the rest of my life.
Oh BOY do I have news for you
@@alexanderhamilton1026 I know, I'm so hyped!
Nitro Rad: I put a copyright strike on Abby’s work and now she’s protesting us.
Me: 🤔 *That sound familiar* 🤔
Care to explain please.
Oh I get it!
Hmm... Please explain!
@@misery_shun R/woosh (I'll give you a hint: you're using one of the most famous copyright strikers right now.)
@@q-miiproductions878
Flag? IDK!
@@misery_shun RUclips, dummy.
A graphical adventure game with a “Dreaming Internet” concept with insane near accurate recreation of 90s internet. Hell yeah.
dude, if that one minute skit is gonna be the standard for the quality of jokes in the April fools video, we are gonna have a really fun video. Nice work, James.
I really wish I had lived through the early internet a lot more. When I got my first computer in 2007, sure I got to see some of early youtube and participate in forums but, for the most part, the internet was losing it's smallness. Even small forums have too many people now to see their stuff every now and again.
The internet stopped being people with an affinity for computers, and just odd stuff and became... everything. Now that the internet holds everything, most people can interact with it as much as you can with a book.
This comment is a good example
That story about the girl getting grounded off the website really hit close to home with me. It's amazing how a game can so accurately create a situation that it feels that believable.
What makes it sadder is that being grounded off of Hynospace may have actually saved her life.
As unfair as it was to her, she could have been one of the hundreds of people injured in the Mindcrash .... or, worse, been one of the fatalities.
And here we are after 3 years, the spin off sequel is coming soon: Slayers X . . . The actual comic from Zane in this game is now it's own game. Good Lord, how the lore runs deep.
Lucid dreams combined with spending countless hours browsing on your PC. Sabitsuki approves!
My name is Zane and I don't suck :(
Don't worry, unless you make explicit comics that react to your life and have an overly egotistical internet page, you good man.
Wait, that's illegal
I couldn't have praised this game's impeccable style of "environmental" storytelling better myself. Heck, I didn't even piece together the heartbreaking Squisherz fanart story until you discussed it.
I'm from a Christian family and it's stuff like SquisherZ that makes me very happy that my parents were never like that with Pokemon.
"Birth of the Chowder Man"
I wish SquisherZ was a real game, they gave it a backstory and everything so it feels like it’s own thing and not just another Pokémon parody!
I love Nitro Rad. He is so thoughtful on his reviews. It's never just "It's bad" or "It's good", he always gives detail and never too biased. And even the bad stuff, he finds anything good about it and makes an entire segment on it! It's seriously the reason I follow him.
Holy crap, I had forgotten about the whole Pokémon controversy. Thankfully, even though I grew up in a very catholic family, everybody was able to see how dumb it was, but I still thought it was incredibly unfair to some classmates I had who love the games but just couldn't play because of their parents. And that was well in like the fourth generation, so maybe there're still some idiots around today.
Anyways, great video as always ❤
After watching this review I wanted to grab this game for the longest time, but my laptop is basically a potato chip. Luckily it released on consoles not too long ago so I grabbed the PS4 version and... man, you weren't kidding. This really is something special. The authenticity, world building and structure of it all is fantastic. I intended to try it for a few minutes before heading to sleep last night and ended up playing until 2 am just because of how invested I was. Such a unique premise on top of an incredible execution, mixed with that perfect amount of nostalgia for those of us who were just growing up when the internet was in its infancy. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, dude!
I feel like games like show the artistic possibility of game not just through graphics, music, or gameplay but through the immersive experience you only get through a video game.
My parents gave me permission to get a hypnospace tattoo!
Hot Zenny!
Can you show a pic?
Us kids born in the 2000s need a version for us! Where’s the sequel with adobe flash games with that bitcrushed music, and low quality RUclips videos? And don’t forget windows xp!
well do i have some good news for you, they’re making a sequel set in 2003
@@thefinalduane really? Thats cool! tbh i would have set it in 2008 when youtube was hot but thats just me. 2003 is still a bit close to 90s internet
they said it wrong, it’s actually 2007
The 90's were glorious.
**remembers there is no HD video back then**
...some aspects of it at least.
It's not like any one of us cared about HD video back then anyway.
Don't need laggy HD displays when you have CRTs that resolve inputs INSTANTLY
I never once thought about running footage back through a VCR to get that old 80s to 90s effect, WAY better than the actual filter that most editing software come with. You outdid yourself this time James. The more I watch your videos, the more you inspire me to get better at my video editing and make reviews of my own. Thank you for giving me the motivation persue this passion I have for it.
Catch that input with a Dazzle card and you can even put a tracking bar up on screen!
I’ve been watching for so long and I just now realized that there’s a startropics box on top of the NES in the intro
I feel like an idiot rn
30 seconds in, and Nitro Rad has already made me feel both completely uncomfortable, and immense amounts of joy.
Oh my god, that mouse cursor that left a trail of snowflakes. I completely forgot about that stuff but it was EVERYWHERE in the late 90s and early 2000s. You couldn't go to a single geocities website without having your cursor turn into a dinosaur or something.
I’d love a sequel that would simulate mid and late 2000s internet, with flash games, windows xp Aesthetic, and RUclips! Because I was born in 2004, but I was on the internet at a early age.
YOOOO!
@@bobygreen8429 yeah imagine that
meanwhile I was born in the same year but only got really involved in like 2014, haha
lucky bastard, I wish I could've experienced the same stuff you did, it looks so cool from a distance ;-;
Thank you SO much for showing me this game, you've shown me about awesome, obscure games I've never heard of and helped me make up my mind on games I was on the fence about or straight up thought I wasn't into at all (talking about hylics here). Hypnospace looks incredibly creative and interesting, I'm surprised at how much work went into this project.
Again, Nitrorad, you're really great for doing what you do. Keep it up, and you'll always be my favorite youtuber: period!
I just can't say it enough, how much I love your channel, you've become one of my favorite youtuber out there, and one of the few people I would watch their videos asap. You reviewed all the games that I would never know before, and I'm honestly thankful for that. Keep doing your best dude.
This seems really neat. Idk if it's my kinda game, but it's certainly a unique idea and it's cool to see people trying something new.
Garrulous64 didn’t know you liked Nitro Rad. Awesome!
All that's left is a review about Pokemon Gold and Silver, I mean you can battle me and my Rattata!
Shorts are the best 👍
You have forced me to finally buy and play the game, so I can watch this video without spoilers, I hope you are proud.
I think this might be my favorite video of yours. You did a good job of communicating why and how this game is so compelling, without giving too much away.
Plus, that intro scene was way too good
it was so awesome seeing your name in the kickstarter backers man. absolutely love hypnospace outlaw
I absolutely love the intro! I'll have to add this to my growing list of "games to check out because Nitro Rad said so".
Hey dude, just wanted to drop a message thanking you for the content you make! This channel is excellent, you have the chill energy I aspire to put out, and it's always fun binging your stuff. The opening bit of this video was hysterical! It totally radiated cheesy bad instructional video. This game is definitely going on my to-play list, it looks fantastic
The one thing i got out of this: Im so thankful that my parents weren't those types of Christians 😅
Also daily reminder: Fuck Baby Boomers
@@chase_h.01 accurate
Know what NR... the best thing about your videos is that you put your heart on them, i can feel whenever you make a video that you actually are speaking with your heart! keep on the good job!
You literally showed me one of my favorite games ever made. You kick so much ass James!
Well done, thanks for always going through the effort to raise awareness on games that could go under our radars!
This was such an amazing game, the best part of the game is that you can look around, you aren't really in a hurry for anything besides the game does encourage you to explore all just to finish the archive
man I really loved Hypnospace Outlaw. That game made me feel things. It's probably the best written game I've every played, all the characters feel so real and the story is fantastic
Gonna try the game. The aesthetics of the game match a certain genre I'm involved with, so I have passed it before but never got it until now! Great video!
Now I can't play Mega Man Legends without seeing 90's James and Brady robotic acting.
But seriously, fantastic video, dude. I got the chills just by you telling about the poor christian girl and I'm definitely picking this game up. Just one comment about the itch/steam discussion, if you're in a country that itch doesn't support and don't have an international credit card (which is my case), steam is the only option. That's a shame :/
Oh yeah that's what it is. I couldn't place the song and it was bothering me, thank you 2 years later lol
@@nicolasroy8481 Anytime man. See you in the Apple Market.
i had a really bad day and seeing that you uploaded made it a little bit better
That 90s nostalgia is so awesome
Gotta love the extra effort in this video. Great job!
for the first time I'm in the one minute club!
I know the feeling. It's been a while and she looks really hot... happens to everyone, dude.
lol@@greenhowie
I played through this game the day it came out and thoroughly enjoyed it all the way through. I especially think the final part after the game ends is pretty cool, and it pertains to my interest as someone who likes saving history. I'm glad you enjoyed it too!
Doing great things man. Continue doing what you do, congrats on 165K subs and lastly, please don't lose yourself. You are as rad and cool just the way you are.
Every nitrorad video is a 80's vaporwave experience
I was wondering if anyone else noticed. I think that's the first thing that gravitated me to him back when he had 2,000 subscribers. love his content so much I subbed twice on my two devices.
4:30 I've been watching hot dad since Phillip Defranco gave him a shout out back in 2016. Love his content.
He also made a trailer for another interesting indie game called Soda Drinker Pro.
Loved the opening skit, and the game sounds pretty interesting. The minor spoiler you mentioned certainly feels like something that easily could have actually happened.
I still find it ironic that a youtuber named "Hot Dad" is playing a washed-up '80s rock star in the game.
Just finished this game on my Switch. I know PC's are the ideal way to play this one, but whatever. I really loved this game. Hypnospace Outlaw has quickly become one of my favourite indie games ever. It's attention to detail is astounding, and figuring out each case was one of the most rewarding experiences. Hats off to Jay and his team, as well as every content creator who contributed.
This game is SO NitroRad material, I'm glad you covered it.
Also that poor girl noooooooo
This was so heartfelt! Really loved it
Thank you for making another video. I love every single one.
You just had to mention Deus Ex, did ya? *reinstalls Deus Ex*
Oh God, I love that intro so, so much.
The devs seem to have gone above and beyond here, creating a fascinating non-geographic exploration experience. Thanks for this review, James, I'll be sure to check this out.
I also love the parody of cheesy 90's Internet ads in the intro. You and Brady work so well together.
The kid being banned from the Pokemon expy hit really close to home for me, my step father was a religious extremist who was also a high school drop out. So he thought witchcraft was real. I remember one day we came home from school, and we were sat down and told that we weren't allowed to like Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh anymore. He even took final Fantasy 4 away from me because there were mages in it.
Your friend Brady is a laugh riot every video
I saw Vinny play this some time ago and thought it looked really neat. Great to hear it plays as well as it looks!
Dude watching this video on a CRT monitor from the 90's makes this feel even more vintage!
I can't wait to try it out, I love the 90's internet vibe
I'm a simple man. I see Nitro Rad, I click.
@Revilo Revlis I mean hey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
That opening cutscene had me dead lmaooo
Commenting before i've even watched the entire video? Wow! how does that work?!
i love watching these obscure game reviews! i really really wanna play this now :-00
faith and faith II seem like really cool spooky, obscure games that would be up your alley!
I literally can’t stop laughing at the beginning, like” Surfing the net *SMACK* in your dreams~~ ...WOW!” Makes me cry everytime. This has to be one of my favorite intros you have done. It’s pure gold and need to be shared with the world. Keep up the great work as always!!!
Man, seeing how the game presented itself gave me huge nostalgia vibes.
Hearing Gex in the background really brought me back, I love this
5:53 Frinky Gusto sighting!
Been playing this game over and over finding new stuff each and every time. I can't wait for Dreamsettler it looks interesting from the teaser.
Really nice video. This looks super interesting to see in games today
Damn, the concept of this game truly captivated me, i'm gonna give it a chance
Just you describing that sub story with the little girl broke my heart... It reminds me of a lot of stuff I saw early on on the interwebs in the early 2000s.
I saw someone play this but I had no clue what this game was called! Aaaaah thank you so much I want it so much!!!
That intro seems like a school project and i love it
I completely missed the Squisherz art contest! Goes to show that this game is crammed full of hidden gems
Brady's eye movements in the beginning are pure gold.
I can't imagine the ammount of time and effort writing all those mini stories would take.
This game is severely getting slept on
Just finished it and I loved every second of it
the transition from normal gameplay to free play mode in this is amazing
Nitro Rad looks so chilled out in the thumbnail and with a voice like that he could do guided meditations and sleep stories.
This game is now on Xbox one through Game Pass if anyone only has Xbox one and wants to play this. I came back to this video cause remembered seeing the name somewhere before and it was you nitro rad who made my final decision to download this and give it a whirl once its done downloading
These are the kind of games I like seeing you review and made me subscribe to you. Im gonna give it a shot! :D
3:51 Speaking of forums, the guy who made this is on one of the forums I post on. I don't know him really well but it was still cool to see you cover this.
