After spending a bit over two years in Early Access, the Quake inspired and Soviet-era oppression flavored boomer shooter HROT is now almost ready to be unleashed. You can expect to see it launch in full on May 16th alongside the third and final episode, which will bring the total level count to 26 plus an additional 4 endless arenas.

There is unfortunately no launch trailer just yet, but you can get a pretty good idea of what kind of gameplay and atmosphere HROT is going for through the original Early Access one. Have a peek, it's quite a unique style:

If any of that madness looks like it's right up your alley, you'll be pleased to hear that HROT has a free demo available. It's likely a bit outdated at this point, but it should still give you a solid impression of what the full game has to offer and whether it's even your kind of thing. Oh, and if you do decide to grab HROT itself, it's important to note that the price won't be increasing once it leaves Early Access.

With that said, you can check out the demo, as well as learn more about HROT and its current state, over at Steam. Enjoy!
