Hypernet Explorer blends roguelite progression with immersive sim exploration across a retro-futuristic post-Y2K European setting. Each run tasks you with navigating interconnected digital networks and physical locations where your approach—sneaking, hacking, or direct action—shapes both immediate outcomes and long-term character development. Ideal for players who value player agency and environmental storytelling over linear progression.

Hey everyone, Launch date of early access is getting pushed back once again, but for good reasons! Here is the tea: Steam Review: I'm currently waiting on final approval from the Steam review process. JavaScript to Rust Rewrite: While waiting, the entire codebase was portged from JavaScript to Rust. The result? The game is nowrunning EXTREMELY better, with higher performance and much more stability and polishing compared to the current demo. Full Retesting Required: Rewriting the engine from the ground up means i have to retest the entire game from top to bottom to make sure everything works seamlessly before release. Once the new Rust codebase is fully tested, i will push the updated engine directly to the free playable demo so you can test out the performance gains for yourself! As a reminder, the demo is Early Access-sized. It contains every single feature, system, and location available in the game right now, with only the main dungeon removed. Sandbox mode and Worlds manager are also coming back in the demo Thank you all for your patience and support as i get this bloated mess of nested systems called Hypernet Explorer ready for launch!
