HROT is a retro-style first-person shooter that channels the gritty, fast-paced gameplay of classic 1990s shooters like Quake and Chasm: The Rift, set in an alternate 1986 Czechoslovakia after an unexplained disaster. You take on the role of a soldier emerging from a civil defense bunker to battle through eerie urban landscapes filled with strange enemies, using an arsenal of period-inspired weapons and gritty environments rendered with low-poly, unfiltered textures for an authentic “boomer shooter” experience.
The game’s levels are handcrafted and richly detailed with Eastern Bloc architecture, brutalist sculpture, and period artifacts that evoke a bleak yet strangely compelling atmosphere. Combat is fast and unforgiving, pushing players to make the most of limited ammo, powerful weapons like shotguns and rocket launchers, and brutal melee tools when necessary. HROT also features hidden areas, puzzles, and secret encounters that reward exploration and skill. Its custom engine, written in Pascal, captures the aesthetic and feel of early 3D shooters while giving a fresh twist with unique enemy designs and level progression.
With overwhelmingly positive reviews from players praising its old-school mechanics and design, HROT is a must-play for fans of retro FPS games and brutal, atmospheric shooters.
