Hello! My laptop can run PS2 emulation very well, but this game is very sluggish. Please include an option to set ingame resolution to be lower, and please optimize for lower end hardware! I hope Hypnagogia 2 will run better! Very cool game from what I can see. <3
Hi Kimmy, thanks so much for checking it out~ sorry you fell off the levels and had to restart those few times, that will be something I improve on in the sequel. Cheers!
Also I forgot to mention is there going to be a 2 player CO-OP feature in the later games? Are you thinking of continuing Hypnagogia after Hypnagogia Boundless Dreams? It'd be pretty cool if you and one friend were to complete these dreams together and make the dreams more puzzle-ish
It surely will from what I see. People will definitely love it a lot and it will overall be an outstanding experience for any player that has finished the previous game already. Keep up the good work!! Looking forward to the game and the s e c r e t s
I have been wondering ever since I finished the game. I found every Orange Guy's instances in every dream besides the secret one. I have also been searching for about an hour all over the level and couldn't find anything, so I was wondering if it at least exists and is present in the secret dream or it was all in vain
Hey Whois, thanks for checking out the game. No, the orange figure doesn't appear in any of the worlds' secret dreams. The snow globe level is sort of a dream-within-a-dream, and it gets harder for them to follow you there.
Oh alright, thanks for telling me. I really love this game and it just makes me so passionate about it. I even came up with some theories on this game. Maybe in the future there will also be some lore-thing to it
Hey, you seem like the kind of guy who likes to find secrets. I just wanted to ask you two things: one, I can't find the Orange Guy in the Sky World; two, I can't find a secret in that world either... Can you confirm if there is one in that level?
Edit: Ok, nevermind about the Orange Guy, I found him. I really am blind :P
Still don't know about any secrets in the Sky Level though.
Hey. Well...there aren't any secrets in that Sky World. The only thing you could find is Orange Guy there. If you want, I did an entire Hypnagogia walkthrough on my channel, you could check it out :
Hey Sodaraptor, I'm liking the game but something weird happened, I pressed some buttons and the game got fullscreen but not in 4:3, it lags the game a lot, do you know how to fix this?
Hey DRM, sorry you're having trouble. I've seen a few other people run into this issue also.
One thing you could try is going into C:\Users\(your PC name)\AppData\LocalLow\sodaraptor entertainment and then deleting the sodaraptor entertainment folder, then try relaunching the game.
If that doesn't work, you can try using Reso, which can allow you to change how the game launches (window mode/resolution). You can download it here: http://www.bcheck.net/apps/reso.htm
I used the "reso" method, for those with this problem that are reading, I used 640x480 resolution, the game now doesn't lag and I can see everything now.
I remember pressing a bunch of buttons in the first rabbit dialogue in the hub because the game freezed for 5 seconds, maybe it's that freeze while button mashing that the 16:9 fullscreen problem exists.
Also, when I started reso for the first time Windows warned me that it was from a unknown author and it could be virus, you guys decide if you want to fix your game or not.
Glad it worked for you. Yeah, Reso seems to do the trick each time I've suggested it. I hope to have things more ironed out in the sequel so you hopefully you won't end up needing it.
If I ever put this on Steam I'll probably end up going back and implementing things like saving, and other touch-ups. So it may happen one day. The second game however is definitely going on Steam once it's released.
You beautiful soul! I couldn't stop grinning after recognizing the footstep audio, and your work is an inspiration. This is the truest childhood love-letter I've ever witnessed. I aspire to create something this pure someday.
Such a high quality game. I can't believe it was made in 26 days! Simply amazing. I'm sure the developer of this game will make even better games in the future.
This is probably one of my favorite games in recent memory, even though it's so short. The colorful PSX art style, the cute dialogue from characters, and the settings of the dreams are all so endearing to me. The tone of every dream was always so clearly communicated, as well. Cat World was a really nice place to be, Water World felt incredibly sad, and School World was unsettling as hell. Super well done game!
Absolutely loved this game! Sodaraptor would I be able to use screenshots from it for promos for an experimental music livestream? I can't believe how well you nailed capturing the vibe of LSD.
Hey, I loved your game, I loved how sensitive you were in every corner and field of the game. Each one has its own psychedelia .. I could feel it just by watching the video, because I don’t have windows for Play, I have an Android, and I would love to play this Psygame! Do you think about making this game available for mobile?
Hi Dhonnye - first off thanks for checking out a video for the game, I'm sorry I don't have a way for you to play it. Second, I don't currently have plans to port it to Android, but I may in the future if I ever have the chance. Thanks again!
Hi Beef - I wish I could tell you for certain there would be, but I don't have any way to properly test Mac builds (or Linux) without a machine or going through the process of setting up parallels. I hope to get a hold of an actual machine I can do most of this on in the near future, so I won't say never. Sorry!
This is honestly the best itch.io game I have played. I'm not just saying that either. It's the only one I've cared to finish tbh I will most likely be trying sodas other games hoping to see the same wonderful creativity I saw in this wonderful dream realm of a game!
Whoa, awesome video/review. Absolutely loved it! Thanks so much for taking the time to include the game, means a lot! (sorry your coffee date didn't work out)
Best game jam example I have ever played! Frustrating to restart when falling off a level, but the music is great, the creativity of the levels is great, and the progression through the dreams was so interesting! Thanks for releasing it! Definitely got my two dollars' worth. ha!
Very strange but very charming, I enjoyed playing it and the little white rabbit Gogi was a welcome addition to my adventure. I've always loved stuff having to do with dreams, brains can make such odd scenarios and landscapes so it's really interesting to know what other people dream of. I'm glad you included your own commentary and I just wanted to let you know I liked the game very much. Only complaint of course is the lack of a save system but regardless I was quite charmed.

I got a new PC and this is the first game I played!^.^ I beat it too! The snow world is my favorite! Such a cute game(:
Hello, I took a lot of interest in your game, and I honestly really like your game. It's greatly executed and it gave me that 90s 3D vibe that
made me feel quite nostalgic when playing this game. I made a YouTube video on your game as well, so I'll link it here.Hi Kimmy, thanks so much for checking it out~ sorry you fell off the levels and had to restart those few times, that will be something I improve on in the sequel. Cheers!
No worries! I enjoyed it nonetheless. Keep up the good work!
Also I forgot to mention is there going to be a 2 player CO-OP feature in the later games? Are you thinking of continuing Hypnagogia after Hypnagogia Boundless Dreams? It'd be pretty cool if you and one friend were to complete these dreams together and make the dreams more puzzle-ish
That's an interesting idea. I think coop would be fun to do for the third game if the second one does well enough =)

Thank you, will do in due time, after I finish my run. Don't wanna spoil myself, right?
No problem, and that's right
Thanks a bunch for playing - glad you enjoyed it so much! You will definitely want to check out the sequel coming later this year =)
Cool chill game concept with some meta experiences!
Hey Sodaraptor, I'm liking the game but something weird happened, I pressed some buttons and the game got fullscreen but not in 4:3, it lags the game a lot, do you know how to fix this?
Even downloading again doesn't fix it.

It's working now, thanks for the advice.

Very creative.
Comforting, sad, eerie, then outright disturbing. As a horror nut, world 8 instantly had me sold. Easily worth a good five bucks.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the experience =)
Got it linked to Steam as a non-Steam game so I can go back to it with ease.
This is probably one of my favorite games in recent memory, even though it's so short.

(The Morty secret was adorable, btw)
Thanks so much! I'm happy you enjoyed it. Morty says hello =)
Thank you for making this game
Thank you for playing this game
This game is amazing! The dreams are beautiful and eerie. I can't believe you made all of this in a month!
fantastic game, gave me shivers
This is great
Thanks for making it!
sorry.
This game is gorgeous! Exploring each world is so calming. Easily one of the best games I have played on itch.io. Amazing job!!!
Absolutely loved this game! Sodaraptor would I be able to use screenshots from it for promos for an experimental music livestream? I can't believe how well you nailed capturing the vibe of LSD.
Thanks for playing! I don't mind if you want to use screenshots
Hii, I've made a video about the game and I wanted tho share some feedback about it hopefully it is useful to you for your next projects :D
-The theme for the game is quite interesting and the levels feel very unique and interesting to get into.-The visual style is quite good as with the other games you made happens :D
-The dialogues are quite well done and are quite interesting making the player have fun always.
Hopefully this is useful for you :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)
Regards

Will there ever be a version for mac? (This games amazing btw, it's very obvious you put a lot of love and attention into it.

WOW. Such a great experience. A lot of love went into this one. You can tell! P.S. I went on a coffee date with orange guy
Whoa, awesome video/review. Absolutely loved it! Thanks so much for taking the time to include the game, means a lot! (sorry your coffee date didn't work out)
Thanks for checking it out! So glad you enjoyed it!
a work of art, felt so many things while playing this! great game!
the artsytle is amazing too! PSX graphics alway get me haha
Thank you, so happy you enjoyed it!
I achieved nirvana when I played this game
*Edit: Just read your rating review, wanted to say thanks so much for the kind words!
I knew I made the game too profound :o
as close to a religious experience ive ever had with a video game. its lit knowing other people have similar dreams/understanding of them
Nice! Glad to hear. Thanks so much for checking it out!
This is everything I've wanted out of a game, well done!
Cool! Haven't seen the game appear in a review video yet. Thanks for checking it out!
Best game jam example I have ever played! Frustrating to restart when falling off a level, but the music is great, the creativity of the levels is great, and the progression through the dreams was so interesting! Thanks for releasing it! Definitely got my two dollars' worth. ha!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for playing~
Great atmosphere. I especially liked the later ones with depressing (Silent Hill-ish) theme.
I loved it enough to make an account and comment, amazing. Found the dream 1 secret and the secret world
Very strange but very charming, I enjoyed playing it and the little white rabbit Gogi was a welcome addition to my adventure. I've always loved stuff having to do with dreams, brains can make such odd scenarios and landscapes so it's really interesting to know what other people dream of. I'm glad you included your own commentary and I just wanted to let you know I liked the game very much. Only complaint of course is the lack of a save system but regardless I was quite charmed.
This is a really cool concept and the visuals are awesome! Gogi is really sweet! 😊
(Also, I'm sorry for pronouncing it wrong for the first few world's 😅)
That was sick, but lvl 7 especially clearly isn't made to be played at 2 am
Hello
Is this a full length game or is it like a demo of it?
Hi Kimmy - This is the full released game.
Oh awesome! I'd like to do a video on it if you don't mind :D
Cool, I don't mind. Feel free to share it here once you're done =)
Thank you! I can't wait to play it
The game was an interesting first and I like it. I never found the hidden ninth level, but besides that, game is super interesting.
Here's my channel for other games I have played. http://www.youtube.com/c/Levont
i can't hear any of the ingame audio except for when the game first starts up, is there anyway to possibly fix this?
sorry, i figured it out! i just reinstalled the game and it fixed.
I like this game and I'm excited to see what else it has to offer. its a little strange but easy to get behind, I highly recommend it.
