god damn i love this game. love how it looks, love how it sounds, love the immersion and having seen pretty much nothing at all about this game before i downloaded it, what the game became in the later levels was really effective on me. everyone who worked on this game did a fantastic job!
Fell in love with this game before I'd even purchased it, got to say I'm a sucker for Late 90s styled games and stuff in general. Fantastic work Sodaraptor keep up it up!
Definitely playing the prequel to Hypnagogia Boulndless Dreams after this playthrough!
P.S Totally got that little hidden Tic-Tac-Toe Code message. Caught me off-guard seeing it!
Hi Sub- thanks for checking both games out, I'm glad you enjoyed. For the tic-tac-toe message, are you referring to the cipher on the ground in some spots?
Indeed, specifically in the beginning of the "underwater section", paraphrasing here as to not spoil the level too much. Thanks for the reply by the way, its greatly appreciated.
Fantastic game, visually aswell as gameplay-wise! Only thing I'd appreciate and would make it a 6/5 instead a 5/5 would be controler support for the Nintendo Switch Pro controller, but I'll figure a work around for that propably.
I came to say the same thing. exactly actually. i only have my pro controller where i am and gc controllers and it's not compatible with either. besides that the game is amazing.
A question for the dev - Is this version kept up to date with the Steam version? Or do I need to purchase the Steam version in order to have the most recent release of the game
sodaraptor really stepped it up between the original game and this one! The demo was really impressive, the different worlds seem even more immersive than the original and the character design/dialogue was full of life and spirit. Really glad I checked it out, I'm looking forward to eventually seeing the full game and getting the full experience!
Does the game automatically update when you buy and download it through the itch.io app or steam whenever there's an update coming to the game or no? This is probably a stupid question to ask
I haven't figured out how to set up automatic updates using the itch.io build tools yet, so I've just been replacing the files with the updated ones manually. You'd have to redownload the game on this page each time there is an update.
Okay, nice. Thank you for letting me know about this. Also, just wanted to let you know that you're one of my favorite indie game developers working right now. The Pathogen-X demo, the original Hypnagogia game, and this game are some of the best indie games that I've played so far :)
I managed to load demo on Linux, just have to use wine64, this is true Dream Simulator, kind of game that makes next night dream really wild, although demo is very short.
Hypnagogia : Boundless Dreams was a beautifully crafted experience using some of the best elements from LSD-like exploration games and melding them with a really creative narrative. I came in with some expectations, especially after having played through the original Hypnagogia but this soft-sequel is just amazing. The music complements each stage wonderfully and the NPCs dialogue felt thoughtful. The characters and level designs were probably some of my favourite elements, entering each level filled me with a feeling of "Okay, what could possibly be here ?" and I just loved it.
This video serves as a more in-depth review but I really recommend you to play it by yourself, it's just that good.
Wonderful game! A very good improvement from the first game that has more of that aesthetic feeling of the 90's especially when you are in the mall, heavily recommend that you play it because it's so memorable and I have gotten good memories from it. Keep up the good work!

Already own it, but thanks for putting it in the Bundle for Ukraine. Such a great game. Be sure to check it out.
well the pictures sure look sick apart from the ps1/ff9/doom(or whatever it was)-style
definitely checking it out

I love the soundtrack. Is it anywhere in the files? I'd love to just listen to it.
You can listen to it here:

Left me speechless.

I agree. I'm really enjoying this one.

This and the Steam version are kept updated simultaneously, so you're good if you want to get either one.
I'm just slapping my forehead.
release a linux version please.
Soon™
Backrooms hidden gem - kicks ass!)
Thanks for the awesome game though!
You should be rewarded more than money only)
Will there be "(ヒプナゴジア3：最終的な夢) Hypnagogia 3: Final Dreams"?!!!
Maybe!
Woah I really like this also I had no idea you can make the game profile have effects like this - you are very stylish and polished!
pretty impressive I went back in time to 1995 to play this lol

Do you have some DEMO ?
Love the look of the game, the video trailer gave me very big Alice and .Hack vibes
I managed to load demo on Linux, just have to use wine64, this is true Dream Simulator, kind of game that makes next night dream really wild, although demo is very short.
How can i change the resolution of the game
You can change the resolution in the pause menu:

Hi Henvak - what is the bug?
