Solo developed by a Czech developer, HROT is a very gray and very goofy retro FPS set in the middle of the Cold War in the USSR. Always in Early Access for almost two years, it is gradually expanding by adding levels in the form of episodes. After the second released last June, the developer is teasing us with a new feature to come in the next: dogs. But beware, not just any dogs! See instead (CW: cute little dogs):

While you wait for HROT Episode 3 to be released, you can get early access with the first two on Steam for €17. When it was first published, our preview said:
To be clear, for now this is a short retro experience that’s fun when it goes into outrageous delusions, but otherwise maybe a little too strict to please everyone. Hopefully by then Spytihnëv can bring that touch of madness to the level design and weaponry that will take HROT to a whole new dimension.
