The Shadow Over Cyberspace

The Shadow Over Cyberspace is a "modempunk" horror visual novel set in the dial-up era of the 1999 internet. Dread whispers echo across the Information Superhighway, and the impending Y2K bug is heralding the rise of cosmic entities known as the Old Ones. As your "meatspace" mind begins to unravel, you are running out of time.

After creating your own character with a custom name and pronouns, you must navigate the tangled web of eldritch beings that control this early version of the internet. The choices you make are dire: you can barter with gods, embrace a deathless, cosmic aeon, or be forced to go offline permanently. Along the way, you'll watch weird and likely haunted TV shows and struggle to keep your brain from melting down after witnessing cosmic horrors like the Yellow Sign.

Ultimately, you will act as a kingmaker, and your decisions will determine which horrible entity rises to dominate the 21st century and beyond. This game offers a unique horror experience where you must confront cosmic dread and make world-altering choices in the early days of the digital world.
