Sovietcore FPS Hrot launches second episode, ‘The Degustation’

Hrot (opens in new tab) is a grim experience, with developer Spytihněv stating of its Czechoslovakia, 1986 setting: “Those times were dark and terrifying and so is this game.” That’s what makes its bone-dry sense of humor land so well. 

Right at the start of the game’s second episode, before encountering any enemies, you find an interactable object on the ground: it’s a game-within-a-game, a Soviet knockoff Game & Watch where you guide a little cartoon wolf collecting eggs rolling down from hens. Then the bloody cultist murder starts.
