Side note, I find the religious side of Hypnospace Outlaw fascinating. Jay Tholen (Main person behind the game) is a Christian and often does religious works, but the way he did it in Hypnospace was interestingHe's definitely a self aware christian, he put a lot of jokes at their expense in the game (Like Squisherz emulating the satanic panic behind pokemon) and he never gets pushy with it, you can go through the game without ever thinking of christianity. But the song Millenium Anthem tells an interesting story about a character in game reacting to the fears around the year 2000It's about a girl who's family was influenced by the church that the rapture was going to happen that midnight, we learn from thre lyrics that they "spent all their money on billboards" which is their family trying to save people from damnation. Once the rapture didn't happen, the song sings "Y2K, you let me down-down, you let me down-down-down-down-down-down-down-down-down..." Stupid lyrics on paper but it rocks in the actual song but yeah, it's a song about a young girl that was banned from hypnospace and her experience on Y2K. This was all confirmed by Jay by the way :Pheres the song by the way, ! Hope ya enjoy Love this game and i'm not a religious person myself[/font]
My first introduction to Hypnospace was on some random day when I was looking through YouTube, I found a video by Saltydkdan which is one of my favorite YouTubers, I watched his playthrough and was fascinated by the story and how wacky the whole game was, it was so charming. A few days later I bought the game and put so many hours into many different playthroughs, and it's easy to say it is one of my favorite games of all time. I can't wait for Dreamsettler, it already looks amazing from what I've seen in the trailer.
Reminds me of this video I watched about the origin of Jehova's Witnesses, and a recurring joke in that video was that everyone thought the rapture would happen at some specific time, spend all their stuff for the cause, and then it doesn't happen. This happened like 5 times."But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Mark 13:32
