About HyperxFantasy
HyperxFantasy by ONYXPRISM is a role-playing game that drops you into a brutalist dystopian future where you play as the Dreamer, tasked with "digitizing" people to save them from collapse. Released on September 22, 2025 for PC and Nintendo Switch, the game revolves around navigating an endless megastructure using a glider, exploring abstract spaces, and pushing non-linear storylines through branching dialogue. You'll figure out a conspiracy tied to the Singularity while questioning a cult-like hierarchy. It's a narrative-driven experience with a focus on vertical traversal and philosophical themes, designed for players who prefer open-ended choices over combat.
Gameplay
The game's core loop centers on gliding through shifting, brutalist environments, imagine navigating a skyscraper that constantly reconfigures itself. Your glider is a key tool, letting you zip between platforms and discover hidden paths. There's no combat; instead, you interact with NPCs via branching dialogue that directly influences the story. Each decision feels weighty, as the game rarely offers clear guidance. Sessions often involve exploring abstract zones, piecing together lore from cryptic conversations, and backtracking after new story beats unlock. The controls prioritize fluid movement, but the lack of combat or traditional objectives means the pacing leans on narrative momentum and curiosity.
What Players Think
PlayPile community data shows a 76% completion rate, with players averaging 13 hours to finish. Moods are split: 58% call it "challenging but rewarding," while 28% label it "overly obtuse." Critics gave it an 81/100, praising its bold themes but critiquing the sparse direction. One review noted, "The environments are mesmerizing, but the story demands your full attention." Achievement stats include 42 total, with 19 requiring optional exploration. Completionists average 92% of achievements, suggesting strong replayability. The game's polarizing design, loved for its ambition but criticized for its ambiguity, has sparked heated debates in forums.
PlayPile's Take
HyperxFantasy is a divisive pick. At $39.99, it's a mid-tier RPG that leans heavily into experimental storytelling. Fans of dense narratives and vertical exploration will appreciate its ambition, but the lack of hand-holding and minimal combat may frustrate others. The 42 achievements offer extra incentive for exploration, but the game rarely feels accessible. If you thrive in abstract, philosophy-heavy worlds and don’t mind slow pacing, it’s worth a try. Otherwise, skip it, it’s more of a curiosity than a must-play.
