HROT
Description
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.

They were also blessed
with an egg catcher and a GOAT! I sincerely enjoy destroying that part of my childhood. Too bad, it never died for real.

Atmospheric, Brutal, Old-School
An incredible romp through a dystopian hell. Set against the backdrop of an unidentified disaster, Chechoslovakia is now overrun by mutants and monsters, and all you've got is a pistol, a sickle, and whatever else you can find. While the game uses a smiliar software renderer and color pallette, its world is far more expressive than its obvious inspiration, Quake. The levels are lovingly crafted to really sell the depressed, dystopian world of Cold War-era Eastern Europe, with many locations being based on the sort of places you might expect to find in such an area, such as culture houses and drab, lifeless shops. Imagine a brown, sad version of Duke Nukem's world, and you're not that far off. Translating most signs in the game for the English release is also a nice touch, and really helps add context for foreign players. While the world is unique and striking, the action is pure, classic boomer shooter. Punchy weapons, relentless speed, monster closets and sudden spawns. Secrets, par times and lots of enemies to kill. If you're over the age of 35 or you've taken the time to look back at the classics of the FPS genre (Quake, Doom, Duke, ETC), you'll feel right at home. I could see this having sold many, many copies back in the mid-90s. While some may view the game as a bit of a pastiche, it's clear that the developer poured their heart and soul into a game, capturing both nostalgia for a bygone era of gaming and a chilling stoicism looking at a bygone era of his homeland. There's not a lot of story, and there doesn't need to be. HROT is a tour-de-force, and wholeheartedly recommended.
