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
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
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.
