Electronics are working, here, so Damien's phone will work and he'll have access to his hacker's toolkit for the duration of the event. On one hand, that doesn't mean much, as there's not a whole lot here that's technological and not organic. On the other, though, as far as Damien's aware even before realizing it's a dream, if he even realizes it is a dream, is that it's based on something from Ren's world and that an individual's perceptions of things and cognition and such are all very important. Not to mention the fact that he's still not entirely sure the Void itself isn't something like what's going on in The Matrix, technologically based, under all the set dressing.
All that being said, could Damien hack Mementos, despite it not being technological? Like make something explode, to kill or injure creatures that are part of the nightmare? Maybe insert some extra space between him and encroaching lava, so he or whoever he's with has more time to get away? That kind of thing? I imagine it would be tied to his phone, since that's his perception of the source of his power, so if he lost or had it taken from him, he wouldn't be able to do anything, but.
And sorry for being so wordy, just to ask if he can hack the setting. I needed to work through my logic out loud, to make sure it made sense. :P
