Unused Videos[]

Three-Death Mindcrash Scenario[]

In the files, graphics and a video related to an ending that has 3 people, Zane Lofton, Carl Parker III, and an unknown person, saved can be found.

Early Y2000 Update Install[]

In the original release of the game, a video of Jay Tholen talking at Fantastic Arcade 2017 can be found, including subtitles.

Test Videos[]

In the original release of the game, 2 test videos, test.htv and testbig.htv can be found. testbig.htv has reduced audio quality compared to test.htv, but both are the same otherwise.

Unused Text[]

Leftover Test Cases[]

In the chapters.ini file, after the HAP chapter section, an unused "Chapter 6" is mentioned, starting on 10/29/1999 10:05:00 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time). Is a leftover of the test cases from the July Update of the Kickstarter Beta. It has 2 cases included in it: Malicious Software and Harassment. In the current version, a title card was added that says, "YOU SHOULD NEVER SEE THIS! THIS IS A BUG, OR A HACK OR A MOD OR SOMETHING IDK."

Old Tutorials[]

In the original release of the game, 2 .ini files can be found: tutorial-oldback.ini and tutorialBACKUP.ini. They contain early versions of the tutorial seen at the beginning of the game. tutorialBACKUP.ini is very incomplete, and for some reason, certain parts uses .png graphics instead of the usual .htv videos. tutorial-oldback.ini is mostly complete, but it is from an older build that has text differences and uses different .htv files that no longer exist, this tutorial file is similar to the one seen in the Kickstarter Beta (since the .htv files mentioned in the file, exists in the beta).

Re3koning .txt File[]

In the original release, a text file named 2-15-2019-endgamerevamp.txt can be found. The file has info about the design and the addition of Re3koning's character in the game. Based on the date of the file, it is from 1 month before release.

In the original release, a text file named nongamestuffforjay.txt can be found. It is meant for a script/writing of The Dumpster.

End of Demo Email and Progression[]

In the original release's emails.ini file, the email that the player would have gotten after beating the Kickstarter Beta is still in the file. In the progression.ini file, a leftover of an end of demo, mentioning T1mageddon, can be found (The Kickstarter Beta ends on the CapaCash case).

.HSM unused patterns and steps not used[]

Many Hypnospace Sequencer songs (.hsm) contain unused patterns (either because of those being test patterns for the artist to create the song or simply because it does not match how the song sounds) or notes aren't played because they are outside the steps counter given for that pattern.

Unused Images[]

HSPD Outlaw Detainment

2 leftovers of the HSPD Outlaw Detainment Zone can be found.

Minit

An image of Minit can be seen inside the files. It is a remnant from a tweet Jay Tholen made to promote Minit.

Dropsy Metacritic Image

An image of the Metacritic score of Dropsy can be seen inside the files. It was probably meant for a tweet.

Son of Tim Wallpaper

A wallpaper showing Tim's creation "Son of Tim" can be found in the wallpapers files.

SquisherZ Early Sprites

Leftovers of an early version of the SquisherZ monsters and protagonists can be found inside the files. Some pages still use the early designs.

Video Game Player

Leftovers of a game creation software concept can be seen inside the game files, and a window can be found out of bounds of the game. It can be interacted by pressing the Start button, but it does nothing.

Day-by-Day Counter

Leftovers of the early day-by-day system from the beta can be seen inside the game files, and the shutdown window can be found out of bounds of the game. The shutdown window can be interacted (except the Skip Day option) and it does behave like the old version, and in the release version, the Skip Day option works.

Removed Zones

Leftovers of zones used early in development can be seen in the game files.

Leftovers from Fantastic Arcade 2017

Leftovers can be found in the Package.nw file that show the graphics used in the Fantastic Arcade 2017 build. This can be found out of bounds of the main file select screen.

Icon leftovers for the Sequencer and Page Builder

3 leftovers can be seen that show the icons for both the HS Sequencer and Page Builder used in the July Update of the Kickstarter Beta file select.

Unused Versions of HypnOSOn the package.nw file, there are graphics related to HypnOS 1.02/1.03/1.05 (This one being exclusive to the release version). These versions are unused, but can be enabled back by using the command "setosversion" and set the value to either '1_02'/'1_03'/'1_05'.

Creative Challenge[]

Creative Challenge was a Zone available on the original release of the game, though it was unlisted. It was meant to show pages that won the Hypnospace Creative Challenge. The zone icon is the same as The Mindcrash page.

Pages include:

• World of MMO - DarkWizard44
• Minirop, My true love - Soproxi
• The Spooky Zone (A new version can be found on the secret pages)
• Flexing Cactus Conspiracy - Minirop
• HypTerm
  • HypTerm Online

Early versions of pages[]

After completing the HAP to 100%, new pages are unlocked on the Hypnospace History Zone, some being early versions of current pages and unused ones.

End of Demo Page: This page was shown at the end of the Kickstarter Beta, and on the original release, this page was available on Hypnospace Central as an unlisted page.

Club Badges Page: This page lists every club badge in the game, probably used as a hub for the devs to visit each page that uses one of the badges.

Hidden Text Test Page: This page has tests of text that are both visible and invisible, also with links, probably as tests for invisible text seen in-game and for the Second Sight Program.

Jay's Cafe Page: This page is just a test template made by Jay Tholen.

Abby's Coming Soon Page: This page is a placeholder for AbbyWrites58 page.

Gumshoe Gooper Short Story Page: This page is the early version of the Gumshoe Gooper page made by AbbyWrites58.

Old Jeff's Down Home Motor Club Page: This page is for the user OldJeff61, which went unused thanks to the devs not finding a way to add this page. This page still can be seen on the Easy Spot ad and in the original release, this page was available on Goodtime Valley as an unlisted page on release.

My Hypnospace Page: Early version of the second template page.

Merry Coolpunkmas Page: Meant as a celebration page for Christmas on the Coolpunk Paradise Zone.
