The follow-up to Hypnospace Outlaw, one of the best point-and-clickers of the last 10 years, has been cancelled.

Creator Jay Tholen today announced that his early internet sim Dreamsettler, set in the same funky world as Hypnospace Outlaw and spin-off FPS Slayers X, had been cancelled. "It's not happening." Tholen makes it clear that publisher No More Robots hadn't been the ones to pull the plug - instead, the developers made the decision themselves.
