Hi Jay and folks,

My name is illuminesce—I'm an indie developer. I love Hypnospace Outlaw! I played it a year or so ago and it still sticks with me.

I put out a list of games where interfaces and UI feature as the main gameplay element, and I'm including Hypnospace Outlaw as one of these games. 

I'm calling the list "The Interface Drama Master List."

Interface dramas are a genre that's existed for a while that I've been wanting to give a better name to. They're games that tell an immersive story through software and app interfaces. They are commonly called "desktop simulators" or "UI games" but I've found these labels to be either too prescriptive or too general to describe this emergent genre. And so, I'm making a list of interface dramas here for people to play and hopefully build support for this unique type of game.

I wanted to reach out to you to 1) make sure it's ok that I'm using the game in the list and 2) make sure my tagging is correct for the game. The tag I'm currently using is:

• nostalgia

If there's any edits to the tags or the entry you'd like me to make, please let me know.

(P.S. if you dig this new genre name, please consider tagging your game on Steam and itch.io "Interface Drama" so it can catch on!)

Kind Regards,
illuminesce
