Hypnosis Longplay

So I promised y'all I was gonna do it. And I did it.

Back when I wrote up Hypnosis I made the comment that people HAD to see this game in full, because it was a deranged ride that ended in pure WTF. So, I made a full playthrough and exported it from Twitch to Youtube.

Here's the video link.

WARNING -- This game's dumb but fascinating plot may offend:
Women
Native Americans
Indians
The Autistic
Musicians
Therapists
Ethical Philosophers
Thinking People
Those Expecting A Rational And Reasonable Progression of Plot Events
Freemasons

I am not responsible for any head injuries caused by consumption of this content. Godspeed.

Honestly I feel like just a blanket "people of color" would be better since it's pretty callous towards African-Americans, too.

"It's not as easy as one might think to go insane."

I watched the first half hour of the playthrough. It's definitely surreal. Not sure if I feel like watching the rest of it, but it does have its entertaining moments, like seeing a cardboard box eat a hamburger. Thank you for sharing that video.

Wowzers. That's quite a trip!

I like the different levels of reality. The walking-on-molecules-and-retrieving-memories makes me think of Arthur Dent removing his Common Sense Particle.

I did not see that conclusion coming. I guess the characters got what they wanted, more or less. I feel like it's some deep metaphor about spiritual enlightenment. One of them is going to sell vacuum cleaners. That's probably, like, a metaphor of a spiritual vacuum cleaner that sucks away all the negative beliefs that stop us from achieving transcendence.

Or maybe not.
