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 weapons (e.g. a ball lightning launcher). 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 and destructible light bulbs.
  • A custom engine written in Pascal imitating 1990s software-style rendering with unfiltered textures and polygon jitter.

Great classic shooter with atmosphere.

HROT is simultaneously one of the cleanest most tightly designed first person shooters and one of the most charmingly strange video games I have played to date. Most importantly the level design is FANTASTIC. It's really dirt simple but profoundly creative. If you're searching for well hidden secrets and expertly crafted combat encounters this game has them perfectly paced from start to finish. The enemies and weapons all have unique roles, interact well with each other and are placed smartly within the environments. HROT also has some of the most impressive atmosphere I've encountered in a game. Without fanfare the game just slips and melts into a puddle of gritty pixels and flickering fluorescent bulbs over muddy concrete government office buildings and let's the drab sparse world speak for itself. There is just enough hint of the reality of the old soviet days and the German invasion to make you feel and maybe think a little before you find the secret level and get lost trying to figure out what a pack of small rat terriers has to do with repairing an old broken astrological clock. Great game, expertly crafted with a lot of heart.

Excellent retro shooter

Hits all the right notes, surprisingly creepy. I'd say it does for Quake what Dusk did for Blood. Excellent game, would recommend.

A deeply european game

and that's not a bad thing. HROT is as absolutely fantastic as it is unhinged.
