Quake, Chasm: The Rift, Duke Nukem 3D, and Wolfenstein 3D are wrapped into an Eastern European package. HROT is love for the classics, indie jank, and especially Czech culture. Also, sorry to any Czechs watching. I can only pray that I pronounced things right.

buy HROT on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/82...
or on GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/hrot

correction at 6:54: Dwarf Fortress was developed by Bay 12 Games. Kitfox is the publisher of the 2022 release of the game. very sorry about that. thank you to the person who pointed that out in the comments.
