It's been several days since I finished playing Hypnospace Outlaw. I recommend that you don't read this until you've 1) Finished the game’s main storyline and reached the game’s credits. And, 2) Formed your own opinions on the ending.
This write-up isn't to try and change your opinions on the game. It's my way of getting my thoughts on it straightened out, and to throw a different perspective on it to pause for thought on. Hypnospace Outlaw is a game I really enjoyed and highly recommend to people who, like myself, have been looking for a detective game that really lets you think for yourself and doesn't hold your hand at every step. It’s funny, it’s smart, and it makes you invested in the characters’ lives. And there are quite a lot of them!
However, the ending is something that (while not souring my impressions) really changed the way I interpreted the game as a whole.
