Hypernet Explorer

Hypernet Explorer is an immersive-sim roguelike set in a strange alternate 2001 where the Y2K bug shattered reality and magic and occult forces reshape a world rebuilding itself from the ruins of technology.

Form a party to climb a 92‑floor skyscraper that barely holds the cosmos together, or lose yourself in a suite of bizarre activities. Run a cursed pizza place, become a certified tarot reader, date yourself from another plane, launch a private space program, profit from the soul market, or even go bowling with your beloved cousin. In Hypernet Explorer, every boundary between religion, science, finance, and magic is history—you do what thou wilt.

Complex simulation sits at the core. Every system—economy, weather, character statuses, and even global and multiversal scales—is modeled and interconnected. The engine renders galaxies beyond our own, and the actions you take reverberate through cause and consequence in ways that can reshape your run and the world around you.

Choose from 64 base classes, spanning classic RPG roles like wizard and knight to modern careers such as CEO or combat medic. Each class offers unique abilities and social advantages, with upgrades persisting across runs. Fuse mastered classes to unlock prestigious paths and redefine your playstyle as you advance.

Your biology is fully simulated. You can augment or alter yourself with implants or magical enhancements, and even gender is market-driven in this world. Enemies feature hundreds of biologies with diverse anatomy, where severing a vital organ can deliver instant results.

Combat is dual and deadly: a traditional turn-based system where you learn skills as you level, or a fast card-based variant that borrows booster packs as you explore. You may choose Permadeath or Roguelite modes at the start, but companions face different fates—if they aren’t resurrected in battle, they stay dead.

The dungeon is alive and urban: every enemy you defeat yields raw resources you can shape into over 1,000 items. Competing adventuring parties roam the same dungeon, capable of stealing your hard‑earned loot right before your eyes. With over 800 skills to learn, trainers, online courses, and practice, you can fuse abilities into new schools and concepts—creating thousands of possible combinations.

Hypercapitalism pervades the world: invest in oil and soul markets, buy real estate, and wield wealth as a source of power. Scale every minigame and side activity with incremental mechanics, turning even a pizza shop into a galaxy-spanning venture.

Explore a world where the past and future collide: you can traverse Europe’s landmarks on foot, by hypermetro, or by RV, while 2001 events resonate through your run. The game blends handcrafted dungeon design with a living ecosystem, delivering a unique, bracingly weird adventure you won’t forget.
