Walkthrough that steps through how the clues and answers are worked out.
You have access to four zones to start with: Hypnospace Central, The Cafe, Goodtime Valley and HSPD Headquarters. HSPD Headquarters just recaps the material from the initial training video, so you never need to visit it.
Search “gooper” and you’ll find 3 pages. Open up Abby’s World and click through to “Gumshoe Gooper Art from my 1st Grade Class” and report at will. You can report almost all the images here, even the drawings, although the “does not play with a dog.” drawing is so bad it isn’t a violation. The more you report the more money you make, but you might not want to just report kids’ drawings! Go back to your search and you’ll also find Gumshoe renders on Sandy 4 Leader! and a scanned comic on Sandy’s Humor Page. You might notice links to Noble Warlock Design Studio on Abby’s page, but there’s no Gumshoe renders there, so nothing to report.
Close the case. Go to Hypnospace central and download HypnoCure Lite – you should have enough HC for this by now. Remember to open the download manager and click to install it; just downloading it won’t do anything.
Format: Digital Media, Year: 2019, Length: 42:54. Original Poster 1 point 1 year ago I've been to that page, I don't think thats it. It was someones review or something and they said they didn't want to download it because it might be illegal.
You have a new Zone: Teentopia.
Scroll down and open ZANE_ROCKS_14’s page, helpfully called ZANE ROCKS. There’s nothing much there, but there is a note that he has a “secret page”. Fortunately he didn’t hide it very well. You can see from the page that his favourite band is “seepage”. Search for “seepage” (or click on the tag on the right) and you’ll see his hidden page, Got Game or WAY LAME? (“See-page”, geddit?) Click on this and you’ll find a mock interview with seepage. Scroll down and click “To the main episode selection page”, then on “Episode 2: Corey, ew.” ALL the green text and adjacent images on this page can be reported, as can the “WAY LAME” logo and the text surrounding it. Scroll to the top and flag ZANE_ROCKS_14 for investigation.
But you’re not done yet! He was complaining at “Corey”. Maybe Corey tried to strike back? Go back to Teentopia and enter Corey’s House and scroll to the bottom. Boom! Report “The official Zane Sucks club badge” and the “Zane is a flippin idiot” text next to it. Click on the dead link where the badge was and report everything – the scrolling text, the badge, and the text above and below it. Then scroll to the top and flag ThatBrassyKid.
Done? Nope. These are teens we’re talking about. Corey mentioned having a girlfriend called “Jennifer”. Go back to Teentopia and click on Jennifer the Nerdy Chik. A-ha – she’s also displaying the Zane Sucks badge. Report it. There’s nothing else on her page to report, though. You can check Zane’s girlfriend too if you want – you can easily recognise her because her username is I_LOVE_ZANE, it’s Jessica White’s Page off Teentopia – but she doesn’t have anything to report on it.
Close the case.
You have a new zone: Open Eyed.
Search for “Capacash” and you’ll find SHERRIHEALS’ page in Open Eyed. Click on “Consult Now” and you’ll find a “Consultation Request” page that asks you to pay 33hc for access to her consultation page. Well, we’re not doing that if we can help it. Instead, search for SHERRIHEALS and you’ll find five identically named pages, one of which is the hidden consultation page. Report all three CapaCash logos – the text above can not be reported.
We’re not done yet. Try a search for “capa cash” instead and you’ll find a page called Goodtime SCAM WATCH. Click through and you’ll notice it talks about a program called Professor Helper which tries to scam you into viewing ads which ask for Capacash. Professor Helper can be found in Open Eyed by clicking on Professor Helper for HypnOS. Rather than installing it, instead use the same trick you used for Sherri – search for the username, which is just ProfessorHelper without a space. You’ll find pages called YOU ARE A WINNER and Professor Helper Ad Director. Microsoft mappoint 2013 torrent download.
Click on “Professor Helper Ad Director”, visit all four of the linked pages and report their CapaCash logos. Note that visiting the “YOU ARE A WINNER” page, or the “Free Cruise and Credit Report” page, will infect your (in-game) computer with the WaveHello virus which makes HypnoSpace Explorer wobble back and forth. Fortunately, you have HypnoCure Lite. Open it up from the launcher and and click on “Cure Me” to get rid of it.
You’ll get a message from Dylan Merchant asking you not to flag ProfessorHelper’s account – if you do, you’ll get a silly message from Adrian Merchant telling you off, but nothing else bad. Close the case.
Annoyingly, you cannot report Professor Helper itself, nor the page that installs WaveHello, for malicious software. You can install Professor Helper if you want; it pops up an annoying character who asks if you need help and sends you to one of the four ad pages if you answer yes; but you can’t uninstall it in this chapter without paying hc for the uninstaller program.
Another new zone: Coolpunk Paradise.
This is the first one that requires some real detective work. You’ll get two e-mails with the case – one offering to install “True Tranquility” and another from Dylan warning you not to go to that page. It seems that the virus changes its victims’ Hypnospace pages to show jumpscares and they need to track down which ones have been changed. You can go to the virus page if you want to – it’ll open an “installing” progress bar; you have time to close it before the end, and if you do, you won’t be affected. The virus doesn’t do any harm anyway, and HypnoCure can get rid of it (and, again, you can’t report the page for malicious software. Get it together, MerchantSoft!)
Well, we know that the virus dropper is called “True Tranquility”. Search for “tranquility”. You’ll find two pages, Beyond Twilight and Choose Your Parasite. “Beyond Twilight” contains a link to “Choose Your Parasite”, so that’s where we’re going. You’ll find four images of people who have “experienced true tranquility”. Clicking on the i button will also show you the owner of the page, T1MAGEDDON, who will be giving you rather a lot of trouble later on. (But no, you can’t report him for malicious software either.)
Clicking on each of the four images will lead to a biography of the person who was a victim of True Tranquility, and by exploring the other sites in your open zones, you need to identify who that is. This is really only done by exploring and following the clues.
Close the case. Notice that the violation points technically go to the victims, not to T1MAGEDDON. This sucks, but there’s no way around it. It will come up again later.
You’ll get a message from Dylan asking you to download “Outlaw for HypnOS”. Download it, run it, and click Yes. You can try to play it for a moment if you want, but it’ll almost immediately start glitching and crash HypnOS to a message warning that your headband has been damaged. Noteplan 1 6 18 download free. You’ll be kicked back to the save select screen. Choose your save.
You’ll kick off Chapter 2 with an apology e-mail from Dylan for the damage caused, and an instruction to “mass cleanup” everything that has happened since most Enforcers had their headbands bricked by the Outlaw alpha.
You don’t actually get given any cases here, but they’re created as you find them, so explore. [Note: on my version at this point I had to restart Hypnospace Outlaw – the real game – because the tops of all pages were coming up blank. I don’t know if this is universal but it might be worth being aware of.]
Start by heading into Goodtime Valley. Uh-oh. Looks like Abby got mad about you flagging the Gumshoe Gooper images. So what did she do? Post a bunch more Gumshoe Gooper images, of course! Click on STAND WITH GOOPER, report all the Gooper images there, then click on the badge at the bottom of the page to search for other supporting pages and report all their Gooper images too, including the “Stand with Gooper” badges. By the end of it, you should have reported 12 violations and be able to flag AbbyWrites58, BurnRubber50, ARLAN_FER_0BBEE and SouthernGentRR.
Open up Beyond Twilight in Teentopia and you’ll find a note saying “Enforcers please do something about these idiots”. Hmm, seems that both Corey and Zane have broken up with their girlfriends and started trying to put the moves on DarkTwilightTiff. Not every image here is reportable, since some are just regular chatting, but “.did your parents teach your manners”, “. are u a virgin” and “im naked” all are. Notice that as with case 4, DarkTwilightTiff gets the violation points, and you can flag her. There’ll be a message thread sent to you between Samantha and Dylan about how this isn’t very fair.
This is a right pain in the backside. Visit Starport Castle Dreamstation and you’ll notice that there’s a big falling out going on between the Zone members and Merchantsoft, who merged 5 previous zones to create it. Most also state that they’ve now “moved to SAI”. Scroll to the bottom of the page and you’ll see what SAI is -Sovereign Alliance of Imagination. Click on that, and then “Come visit and explore the freelands”.
Yes, they’ve tucked a map-based adventure game into Hypnospace Outlaw.
Start by moving north, and you’ll see an icon in the bottom left with the mouse-over text “The trial of axxeleration”. Click on it and you’ll download a video clip. The video clip refers to hidden content in the Freelands, “two east of roddy’s bullring, one north of casper’s rocket” with the instruction “look closely at the borders”.
Look at the label on the Freelands pages and you’ll notice they contain a coordinate as a number and letter. “Roddy’s Bullring” is the page you’re currently on, 5D. You can find “casper’s rocket” by going South, East, East; it’s 7E, thus the number represents east-west and the letter represents north-south. So, two east of the Bullring is 7D, which sure enough is also one north of the rocket. There’s no path there from the rocket, so follow as close as you can get: west, west, north, north, east, south to 6D. As the name says, look closely at the border – on the easterly border there’s a green blob and some dotted lines that aren’t part of a tree. Click on this to find the hidden path to 7D. Click on the cabinet in this room to open it, and download another video clip.
The clue this time is:
You can find all of these by exploring the Freelands, but it’s easier to go back to Starport Castle Dreamstation and open the SAI page again, where it mentions that the person to contact to join the Freelands (and therefore presumably “the father”) is GillScreates. Search for “GillSCreates” and open his home page. Click on The Sanderverse and it’ll mention that his wife (who would be “the mother”) plays a character named “Sarahnia” who is an archer, and that his character is named “SigNull”. That’s all you need! Head back to the Freelands start page and go North, and notice that a spinning sign has now replaced the first video link. Click and you’ll be asked for a password.
So the password is SigNullArrows5 (some variants are accepted, like SigNullArcher5). The best audio editing software free download.
This will take you to yet ANOTHER quiz on content in the Freelands, but this one is multiple choice and can be restarted. All the answers here can be found by clicking around the Freelands pages. Open text editor mac.
Boom! You’re finally at the Axxelerator download page. You can download it if you want, but you’ll then want to report the “click here to download axxelerator” link for malicious software. Close the case.
You can run Axxelerator if you want, but it doesn’t speed up page loading all that much, and it does periodically display irritating pop-ups sending you to the donation page.
This one is wide open, and just requires some very specific exploration, although it should be in places you’ve already been if you’ve been actually browsing.
Enter the Cafe, and Hypnos Tech Tips, then click through to the WITW page. Click on HSMs vs AUDs – music files and scroll to the bottom. It mentions that a previous service used for sharing music, digiXChange, was shut down, but it has started up again under the name FLIST or FLST. Search for “FLIST” and you’ll just find the same page again, but search for “FLST” (without the I) and boom – FLIST ACCESS PORTAL. It does require a password. You probably noticed there’s a link called FLIST PASSWORDS HERE!! that appeared in the search, which will sell you an FLIST password for 199hc together with an insulting message from T1MAGEDDON. Don’t bother.
Instead, go back to the WITW front page and click on Picking a Secure Password which gives Gregg’s technique for picking a password – the city you live in, your favourite hobby, and your birth year. The page also tells you that his hobby is “Computers”. Since Gregg is the one who introduced FLIST he presumably has a login for it. Gregg was not silly enough to put the remaining information required to guess his password on his Hypnospace pages. But he forgot that as an Enforcer, you can see it anyway through his user info panel! Click the i to see that he lives in Lexington and he’s 49. It’s 1999 in game, so he was born in 1950. Go back to the FLST page, click to log in, and enter his password: LexingtonComputers1950.
You can now search for FLIST pages by searching for “f” followed by the latter part of the user’s headband ID. Let’s start with the guy who sent us here: GearHeadGregg. Go to any of his pages, click on the i to get his headband ID which is 03465a, and so search for “f03465a”. Always stamp FLIST pages when you find them. There’s some useful content here, but there is no actual music being shared (and no, you can’t report his copy of Axxelerator for being malicious software.)
So, you’re now free to go and hunt through the FLIST directories of all the users you find. If you download and look at the “report” files for the music piracy case, you’ll see that one of the bands pirated is called “Glamocaster”, so search for that. You’ll find a link to a review which tells you that Glamocaster’s music genre is “haze”. Search for “haze” and you’ll find HAZE-O-PEDIA, run by DM_NO1ZPUSH3R. This is your guy. His FLIST path is f80085d. You can report every line on this page, but you won’t get to them all. That’s because DM_NO1ZPUSH3R is actually Dylan Merchant, the developer of HypnoSpace, and when he realises you’re reporting him and just shared his FLIST account with random people on the Enforcement team, he’ll send you a snotty e-mail and kick your Enforcer account, forcing everything to shut down.
Re-open your save file and you’ll automatically restart on New Year’s Eve, and you’ll see a HypnOS update take place. For this whole section, everything will be glitching constantly. You’ll get an e-mail asking you to find out what to do about “the Year 2000 mindcrash”. Open Teentopia and you’ll see the Mindcrash announcement. Both it and the actual Mindcrash page beyond refer repeatedly to “mother of son of Tim”; and the Mindcrash page has the instruction “If thou art the beloved, accept thy imparted name”.
Oh FFS, it’s Tim again. Open T1MAGEDDON’s page from the Teentopia index. His actual page – which you access by clicking on “leave a message after the beep” when it appears – hides his ID, but on his intro page you can click i to open the panel and get his headband ID, 00928a. Of course he has an FLIST, so search for f00928a and stamp it.
Download mindcrash.htx and open it from the download manager. Note that .htx tells you it’s a text file, not an actual virus. You’ll see a message from Tim saying that Mindcrash isn’t a real thing, just Tim trying to get Tiffany’s attention, and that he addresses her as “Marshmallow”.
Go back to the Teentopia homepage, click on the Mindcrash link, click on the keyboard, and enter Marshmallow as the password. Then click the “Disable Scary Mindcrash Stuff” button and it’ll restore the regular Teentopia. You’ll get a dispatch message that you’ve stopped the Mindcrash, but shortly afterwards, you’ll get another message saying that “Outlaw 0.99.9” is being installed. Sit back and wait as everything glitches like out crazy; there’s nothing you can do, and the whole HypnOS system will collapse.
You’ll then get a much less funny animation, telling you that the failure of the headbands killed a number of HypnoSpace users, and that Tim was blamed for this because of his Mindcrash announcement and sent to jail for 6 years. You’ll be kicked back to the save page.
Re-open the save and you’ll be in a version of HypnOS 2000 without the glitches, and with the date matching the real life date. You’re now accessing the HypnoSpace Archive Project. Your Enforcer Headband actually kept a backup of much of the data on Hypnospace, even the pages you didn’t browse, and the remaining former users want you to help restore data from it.
Open your e-mails, open the program hapinstall from HAP_Chelsea, and run and install it. You can now access HypnoSpace pages again, but the methods are different.
