About HROT

✦ AI summary

Blast through 1986 Czechoslovakia in this retro FPS that nails the claustrophobic dread of Cold War Eastern Europe with handcrafted metro stations and historical socialist details. Armed with period weapons from pistols to experimental Soviet tech, you'll fight bizarre intruders in a custom-built engine that perfectly captures the grimy, jittery aesthetic of '90s shooters.

HROT is a single-player retro FPS set in a small socialist country neighboring Soviet Union (Czechoslovakia) after an unspecified disaster in 1986. Those times were dark and terrifying and so is the game.

You start in a civil defense shelter deep under a Prague Metro station. As a proud holder of the military readiness badge you know what your duty is: put on a non-functioning gas mask, load the vz. 52 pistol and protect the peace and your socialist homeland from the strange intruders.
  • The classic gameplay and vibe of romeric shooters from 1990s including a fitting brown retro aesthetic.
  • You'll find a shotgun, a vz. 13 SMG, a rocket launcher and even some secret experimental Soviet battery-powered weapon. If you run out of ammo, you might find the hammer and sickle coming in handy.
  • Handcrafted levels inspired by real locations with an emphasis on historical details. Every level contains socialist paraphernalia which nowadays can only be found in museums or your grandma's attic (Eastern Bloc only).
  • Flushable toilets, destructible light bulbs and horses with gas/latex masks. In short, conservative values that never disappoint.
  • A custom engine written in Pascal imitating 1990s software-style rendering with unfiltered textures and polygon jitter.

This is a boomer shooter that is all killer no filler with alot of charm, humour, atmosphere and a lot of crazy surprises throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and am very impressed this game was developed by one person A solid amount of enemy variety, some fun weapons, fast classic movement with a good map i never got fully lost or needed to look anything up, great game design here. As a FPS veteran overly the last 18-19 years off my life being a massive fan of games like BioShock, Doom, Halo and classic COD, i highly recommend this game if you are a big fan of fun games

No plot but a ton of character. Fun boomer shooter worth playing

Have you ever wanted to play more CHASM: The Rift? Have you ever wanted to play more DUSK? Have you ever wanted Dave Oshry to signal boost a game as SlavDusk? This game then, might just be for you. Though HROT, in my opinion, is one of those game that doesn't ride the ideas of what came before it, it blends them and expands upon them. For instance, you get grenades in the game and you'd think 'oh I have to swap to them'! Well you don't! Any weapon you pick up you can just hit the right click button and throw a grenade anyway. If you want to be more precise about it, you can swap to the actual grenade. There's so much interactivity and building within the world, too. 1986 in the Czech Republic has never looked this brown (stylistic choice) but so detailed. I will tell you right now for all of those who maybe want a plot (in a 'boomer shooter'?) that there isn't any, really. And, personally, I think that's part of the fun. HROT isn't really here to tell a story, it's here to show off Communist-Era Czech culture, expand upon ideas from CHASM, Quake, some elements of Serious Sam, even, and have fun. You can literally drink wine in this game to restore health or use it as a moloto…
