As an early millennial, I can’t help but get good vibes from their 90s-era desktop UI.
The game concept and 80s retro-futurism are also appealing. 😃
TIL David Bowie was an 80s drug lord
I have no doubt that there were “drug lord” amounts of drugs around 80s David Bowie.
Touché
Sounds a lot like Hypnospace Outlaw, which came out a few years ago and had you exploring a fictional Internet from the mid/late-90s era on an OS designed to mimic Windows 95/98 (with an upgrade to an XP-like desktop later in the game). You were basically a mod/censor who went around and busted people for copyright infringement and stuff. Also a real nostalgia trip if you miss that kind of aesthetic.
I was on the younger end of the target demographic, but I got big Geocities vibes from a lot of those pages. Such a neat game.
The music in the demo is amazing. They clearly use AI to generate the people but it seems inoffensive to me. I like what I played
