HROT is essentially if doom quake and dusk had a slavic baby. This game was a pleasant surprise as at first I was not that enthused by the presentation but after playing it I thoroughly enjoyed my time. The setting and ambience is one of its strongest points and is able to have the mood of the game go from action-fueled, to eerie and ominous deeds going on, to just downright scary and terrifying moments which felt a little Dusk influenced which is by no means a bad thing at all. Weapons great to use and meaty sounding, enemies are both unique and creepy at times and theres even a helicopter enemy to deal with at times which is probably one of my favorites to deal with. Game is rather short and can be beat in 5 hours or less if you are efficient enough which is fine but I would have liked a few more levels per episode but I digress I still had my fair share of fun. Also very important part there are dogs you can save and pet and at the end you reunite with the dogs which also makes this game very good. Not many harsh complaints outside of it being too short at times and the difficulty scale is bit extreme sometimes, for instance playing on hard for the first chapter felt like I was playing on Nightmare but Easy felt like way too easy and I wish I played it on Normal instead. Map design is pretty intricate and fun to explore but sometimes it was pretty easy to just get lost and confused on where to go which was frustrating at times. The biggest standout for me however was how interactive the world was with having light switches to turn on/off lights, putting in keys to key slots to unlock doors, environmental damage such as trees falling over, etc. Game is very solid especially if you are looking for a decently short and fun boomer shooter and for anyone playing for the 1st time I recommend Normal as Easy feels like too much of a cakewalk and Hard feels like this games Nightmare.

Definitely the weirdest of the Boomer Shooters I've played. The gameplay doesn't reinvent the wheel, it's pretty standard BoomShoot fare, but it's fun and that's what matters. The real draw of this game is the atmosphere and presentation. It feels like some new madness is waiting for you just around every corner, and it just gets stranger as you go, until you get to the ending which...you'll see. Just be warned, there are jumpscares in this game. One of which I thought was really cool and clever, and one that was really cheap and dumb. Oh, it's also brown. Very very brown.
