HROT (which means "spike" in Czech) is a retro-inspired First-Person Shooter heavily inspired by the original Quake (with a healthy dose of Chasm: The Rift), set in Soviet-era Prague. The game runs on a custom homebuilt engine made specifically for it and is developed and published by Spytihněv (a single-man operation) and was released on Steam via the Early Access program in January of 2021. The game came out of Early Access and saw its full release on May 16th, 2023.The story is set in Czechoslovakia following a major industrial disaster in 1986 (though the incident goes unnamed within the game, its rather obvious from the date and context clues that it is the Chernobyl disaster). The player take the role of a civil defense volunteer who emerges from a bunker underneath the city to find the country has been taken over by an army of strange men (and even stranger creatures) in gas masks and protective gear. Fulfil your patriotic duty to the State and blast the invaders with your Soviet-era weaponry. | |

Hellish Horse: Å emÃk the Horse & Gimps; large, aggressive horses that dart around the arena at full gallop. The former wear gas masks & can leap high into the air, while the latter wear bondage masks & are ridden by shotgun-wielding Headsmen, who will engage the player on foot if their steeds fall. Both are tough, fast, unpredictable, extremely creepy, & use hit-and-run tactics that can often catch the player by surprise. | |

Bag of Spilling | |
| HROT (Video Game) / int_28104b90 | comment |
Bag of Spilling: In a similar vein of classic shooters around the era of Doom, each episode has the player start out with a sickle and pistol, and the game has an optional "blank slate" mode that enforces this onto every single level, much like Intruder mode in DUSK. Regardless of the blank slate setting, E3M2:Hospital starts has the player start out completely stripped out of their weapons except for their kick - having just awoken in a hospital after a dream - and they have to either slip or fight through a Pathologic to get their pistol, and unlock a gate leading to a sickle through a room with an Infested Rider. E3M4:George of Podiebrad also has the player lose all of their weapons after they fall onto the catacombs, though they eventually get their lost weapons back. | |

Sequential Boss | |
| HROT (Video Game) / int_363e9631 | comment |
Sequential Boss: The Final Boss fight has a whooping 6 phases in total. Phase 1 is a Trick Boss fight against Igor, a robot mech that is invincible to all attacks the player can throw at it... besides trying to walk down a flight of stairs. Phase 2 introduces the true final boss - the Supreme Commander-in-Chiefnote who seems to be either Vladimir Putin (who admittedly would have been alive in 1986) or a Czech politician like Gustáv Husák dressed like Putin, who comes out riding a bear & wielding a rocket launcher. Phase 3 has the SCiC dismount his bear & fighting the player on foot, with the bear continuing to chase them. Phase 4 sees the SCiC split into three clones of himself. Phase 5 finally has the SCiC mount a pterodactyl & fights you from it, with regular enemies spawning indefinitely until you beat him. Ultimately, Phase 6 has you crawl down the SCiC's throat to destroy his heart, à la the Time Judge final boss in Chasm: The Rift. | |

Cast from Hit Points | |
| HROT (Video Game) / int_51567188 | comment |
Cast from Hit Points: The Lightning Gun & Ball Lightning Launcher both consume Electricity as ammo, which the player can be most reliably obtained by shocking themselves by opening electrical closets or standing on electrified rails, sacrificing some health for the additional ammo. Partially averted in that electricity can also be obtained from more traditional car battery pickups. | |

Big Red Button | |
| HROT (Video Game) / int_5c1ec068 | comment |
The player exits levels by hitting a Big Red Button, much like how Duke would in Duke Nukem 3D. However, instead of setting off a nuclear warhead like Duke, the button's Cyrillic "AZ-5" label denotes it as a SCRAM switch, which prevents just such a detonation. Well, except for E3M1. | |

Nintendo Hard: The game's overall combat difficulty is about on par with most 90's era shooters, however, health, armour, and ammo are noticeably harder to find than games like Doom or Quake, which can add significantly to the overall difficulty. Rather than the harder Build Engine games such as Blood or Shadow Warrior, finding secrets for extra health and ammo is almost essential for smooth progress. | |

Excuse Plot | |
| HROT (Video Game) / int_70d8269d | comment |
Excuse Plot: In keeping with games of the 90s, there's no real explanation as to why any of this is happening or what's going on. From the context, you can determine that your character is slamming AZ-5 buttons to prevent nuclear explosions (as shown at the end of E3M1 where your character fails to reach the button in time & a nuclear missile gets launched), & the ending may imply that all this is happening because a time-travelling Vladimir Putin ate one of the gears from the Prague Orlaj (astronomical clock tower), which according to local legend would lead to the nation's doom unless a hero born on New Year's night shows up to save it. | |

| HROT (Video Game) / int_8a07e085 | comment |
Denser and Wackier: Despite its depressingly bleak aesthetic, the game gets progressively sillier as it goes on. From episode one where you have to inexplicably fight living objects as minibosses, to episode two in which you face off against killer chickens and a waddling statue, to episode three where you fight mansized newts and Mooks riding bumper cars as dance club music plays. And that is saying nothing to the sheer absurdity of each episode's Final Boss. | |

Unique Enemy | |
| HROT (Video Game) / int_b0e18b32 | comment |
Unique Enemy: The animated Loader enemies only appear once in the first episode, but doesn't have a boss health bar. It also appears in the 3rd level of the 2nd episode, so it seems to be used as a miniboss similar to the horses. The Newts are only encountered in the level "E3M1: War With the Newts". Given the level in question is implied to be a fever dream, their absence from that point in the campaign forward makes sense. | |

Short-Range Shotgun: The Soviet Shotgun has a very wide shot spread, being ineffective past about 15 feet or so. Like its Quake & Doom inspiration, the Brno Super Shotgun has an even wider spread & shorter range, only really being effective at point-blank range (but it absolutely destroys anything at that range). | |

Shout-Out | |
| HROT (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: To the famous Soviet cartoon Nu, Pogodi! & the Elektronika Game & Watch clone based on the show, which is a Game Within a Game in E1M3. The player exits levels by hitting a Big Red Button, much like how Duke would in Duke Nukem 3D. However, instead of setting off a nuclear warhead like Duke, the button's Cyrillic "AZ-5" label denotes it as a SCRAM switch, which prevents just such a detonation. Well, except for E3M1. True to throwback 90s shooters, the quick melee attack is a kick; a dead ringer for Duke's Mighty Boot, with a bit of The Postal Dude's Quick Kick for flavour. Riding the mining train in "E2M2: Uranium Mine" earns the achievement "On A Rail". The Jump Scare after picking up a certain key in "E2M7: The Granny's Valley" may have been inspired by the infamous Vanity Plate of the Russian TV Studio VID. After defeating Episode 2's final boss in "E2M8: The Degustation" a small room with a mop opens up next to the room containing the exit button. Hopping on the mop & cleaning the whole arena spotless earns the achievement "Viscera Cleanup". "E3M1: War With the Newts" is one too, well, War with the Newts. The level also features several Wolfenstein 3-D references: The level begins with the player in a cell, having just lured in & murdered a guard to facilitate their escape. Outside of the player's cell, one of the other cells has a sign next to it which reads "Blazkowicz". Another sign near the cell block entrance reads "Achtung!". A spinning top can be found close to the stores, and those familiar with Inception can take it as a hint towards the nature of the level. A couple of secrets in the level contain piles of gold that the player can collect for 10 armour points apiece. The final level's Trick Boss, Igor is a bipedal mech that's Immune to Bullets but becomes helpless if he tries to walk downstairs, much like ED-209. The fight after that one happens in a Stadium, like in the final level of Duke Nukem 3D's third episode. | |

Artificial Brilliance: Downplayed. As much as the AI wouldn't be quite on par with Unreal, the enemies do display a higher number of movement abilities compared to the shooters of the style this game emulates. They can use ladders to chase you down if you ever think of hitting them from the high ground yourself, some of them can jump, & the earlier versions of the game even had the enemies be able to swim before the later updates gave them Super Drowning Skills. Their pathfinding can also be on point at times. | |

The Konfident, a large floating head that spits glowing darts at the player, is very similar to the Scrags. The Final Boss of Episode 1, "Gottwald", particularly his new spiderlike legs, looks very similar to the Vores.

Regardless of the blank slate setting, E3M2:Hospital starts has the player start out completely stripped out of their weapons except for their kick - having just awoken in a hospital after a dream - and they have to either slip or fight through a Pathologic to get their pistol, and unlock a gate leading to a sickle through a room with an Infested Rider. E3M4:George of Podiebrad also has the player lose all of their weapons after they fall onto the catacombs, though they eventually get their lost weapons back. | |
