Welcome to Cyberpunk Book Club, where we look at the wide range of video games in the genre, play through a 3-hour slice and discuss the themes and ideas it presents. All art is political, and cyberpunk is one of the most commentary-heavy genres out there -let’s discuss it!
Hypnospace Outlaw is an adventure game/visual novel by Jay Tholen, who previously directed/produced Dropsy.
