Alternative title: Oops! All Sewers!
Metro taught me that most of Eastern Europe is made of sewers and subways.
@@bmylyzgtsqyfw almost. It’s made up of subways, sewers, and crazy drivers

@@Pancombine18 everyone knows Russians live underground like moles due to the cold and the Zone creatures roaming the surface world
@@Pancombine18 It’s closer to Vienna than LA to Las Vegas - but don’t expect us Americans to know that
"Hrot" means something like "tip", as in "tip of an iceberg", but I feel like "spearhead" would work too.
@Legofan94 Nah I wouldn’t use that word for those. It means sharp tip, mostly the tip of a tool
I thought it translated to “Spike.”
@@expendableround6186 Spike sounds like it was made with the purpose of being pointy, while "Hrot" would describe something being pointy, whilst that isn't it's main purpose i guess. Like, I wouldn't call the tip of a sword a hrot, but I would call a nail a hrot.
That might just be the way I use it though
The tip of a spear, or a point. It's a pun on point man.
@Legofan94 Like... A pinnacle?...
The Romero's face slowly appearing in the background is always something i'll be fond of.
Who can resist that smile?
Great smile, evil desires, that's what gets you
Lmao
After Civvie graciously covered so much Slav jank, he got rewarded with a game entirely taking place in a sewer.
The extended lore of comments like this is pure gold.
Now I want to see Civvie play Sewer Shark for the SegaCD.
least its good slav jank this time!
He needs to play the game the most alien to his channel, the apex of combloc jank, shadow of Chernobyl
Maybe when he gets to RAGE, it'll be SEWERSVILLE DUUUDE!!!
"The boss of episode one is the reanimated corpse of Czechoslovakian Communist leader Klement Gottwald on spider legs" might be my new favorite out-of-context quote from these videos.
an interesting and unique comment!
From Icarus' stream: t-vore-ish.
Doesn't make much more sense in context
To be fair, is it any less novel in-context?

“Remember our friend the Gas Mask Horse?”, Civvie asked as reality itself began to fizzle and break around us
A Czechoslovakian shotgun that violates Pauli exclusion principle sounds like a badass weapon from another game.
Also it's not something I would put past the wizards at CZ to actually develop in secret.
Perfect fit for ultrakill !
There are Russian blow forward shotguns that do that, action it's a real thing
Sounds like something from Caves of Qud
But there are pump forward shotguns in real life, Neostead, for example.
This game just said: "Here, akimbo pistols. Now *take down that helicopter* "
I picture gaz from cod 4 saying this
Like *knife the watermelon*
The horse doesn't get one hit by lightning in water. He simply drowns instantly.
The shotgun guys die as soon as they hit the water too.
@@Puffie40 It seems like everything does, except the fish of course.
@@roberte2945 They did that on purpose.
No fair going into water and having everything shoot at you at no cost while you get disorientated and drown.
should have worn a scuba mask instead
i bought an ultra wide too... i gave it to my dad for free after having these same problems with recording shit
now i haven't bought him a birthday present for 3 years riding off the back of that thing, it's a win win
Prey 2006 when?
Having the same problems with ultra wide here too. For things like "pro" FPS play and technical tasks barring VM applications it's great, but for video recording you're better off with just a standard 16:9. Best of both worlds would be using it for editing, OBS, and chat as a secondary with your primary being a larger 16:9 for gameplay.
Also, what's with a lot of these 21:9 monitors having some of the WORST scalers I've ever seen? Mine will take a 480p 16:9 input just fine but it stretches it out to 21:9 rather than simply pillarboxing it, and it stretches to 1080p by nearest neighbor, turning most Xbox 360 games into multicolor smears on screen.
@@KiraSlith Guys, just get a really big desk and put a 24" 240hz 1080p or 27" 1440p 240hz monitor next to the ultrawide, problem solved
Capitalism is useful actually.
@@Zellio2011 What I am probably gonna do
As a czech citizen i asked my grandfather and yes, everything in this game is 100% true, especially the color scheme, this is how things looked like back then.
Even the gas mask horse?
this is still how 50% of ex soviet countries look today but in real life there is more gray
Eh. Still better then Detroit.
@@ZeoHidra Especially the gas mask horse.
it' wierd how different communist countries can look so different. Here in Poland everything was just grey, you'd be lucky to make brown poop xD
See that Civvie video title has "Episode 1"
Me: "Ah shit, here go again."
Me: I think this guy might be confusing an Civvie episode with a game episode. I also wonder why he is quoting himself like that... did he just say that out loud, is it a script for a play or whats the deal
@@jensrobot 1°: The title of the game is just HROT, so will be another episode since Civvie ends what he start.
2°: Its just a joke.
3°:I just wrote a comment, nothing else.
he shows in the video that it's the episode 1 of hrot, he finished all that's in the game right now
@@willb.7417 By now, because the developer just released one episode and Civvie will probably do episode 2 when comes out, so its not the end.
I have no doubt Civvie will continue this when/if more episodes gets made. He is a man of the people! A peoples man some might say
But hey you never know if development of the game will stop, many games never make it to v. 1.0. I do however think Civvie making this video is raising awareness of the game so thats good news for the devs (and us)
Civvie: Did you not expect the bulldozer to come to life?
Me, having beaten Alan Wake at least 3 times: Actually, I would have been severely let down if it didn't.
Game needs a sequel already
Or that dammn train

11:30 Yeah that's actually an ashtray. They were absolutely everywhere back in the day because everyone in Eastern Europe smoked so much tobacco their organisms evolved to synthesize nutrients straight outta nicotine.
That moment when civvie spends almost 2 minutes of video to really show us GASMASK HORSE really got me.
It officially fuels my nightmares
I was wondering if nobody else was gonna talk about that. Da fuq, was that in the game?
Did that horse gib into 2 dudes? I don't even..
What was even the deal with that?
@@DanielAyy he just really wanted to convey to us the fact that it haunts his nightmares

Thanks for the history lesson, Civvie. It's rare to see a foreigner do so much research on Czechoslovakia.
Yeah, skimming through a Wikipedia article. So much research. Such academic acumen and erudition. Hope he gets an honorary doctorate from Charles University. He sure deserves it.
@@decem_sagittae That cereal must've been nice, shame somebody shit in it.

Why didn't they call it "SlovakoCzecha?"
Leaked beta version of Stalker looks hrotastic.
Yea, it looks hrot!
Ah, but Civvie. You have not taught us how to make beef stroganoff.
2 cans of Blood & Fat boiled with skimmed milk, serve with medkit.
As a Texan who watched this on a phone with barely a connection, thanks Civvie. HROT was a really fun game, and hope to see more updates and levels.
Edit: Thanks everyone. Things are coming back to normal on my side of the state, but continue to send best wishes and support to others that aren't doing great.

Sorry about that, it's not easy being in texas
Hope your state govt humbles itself and asks for sone god damn aid, you shouldn't be like this.
A word of advice Civvie: get rid of that ultra wide monitor. It caused more problems for me with every game, with every recording than its worth.
I got me a 32:9 from LG a while back. Great for the home office but NOTHING supports that aspect ration in games. I've felt like a goldfish looking out of his bowl for the past year...
Yeah ultrawide monitors are not good for old games and those inspired by classic titles...
Only useful for new fancy (focused on graphic) games and heavily modded games like Skyrim or Stalker Anomaly.
ultrawide is still great for productivity tho. gaming and especially gaming and recording can be a pain
yeah.. id rather have 144hz than ultrawide
but ultrawide is still super cool when u get it to wrok!!
As a Czech "Hrot" is also street slang for a dispute/drama nice to see that Czech video games are still out there doing some good.
Hi, I'm Czech. Good that you made this video. The "Hrot" means tip, spike, or apex. I believe that the aim of the game was a nostalgia and parody on our socialist times in the Quake-like coat. Btw. The table at 11:32 is an ashtray.
Yes! As a czech im really, really happy to see how much research Civvie did on this game and the history of the ČSSR.
......Unlike some other reviewers *cough cough* "HROT is set in a small socialist town neighbouring the Soviet Union"

But Civvie, there was a Czechoslovakian super shotgun that violated the Pauli Exclusion Principle.
I still dont see what any of this has to do with fermions...
@@dondog1278 see that’s the capitalist in you breaking out. Simply recite the sacred mantra. That being most of the communist manifesto and just assume that the ghost of Stalin will lead us to glorious victory with our pauli exclusion violating super shotgun armies!
We never said what the immortal emancipatory science of Marxism-Leninism would emancipate you FROM
Quantum mechanics is just part of superstructure with underlying capitalist base.
As we dismantle systems of power there is no reason to believe in such lies deceiving the working class.
@@dondog1278 Much like almost all of Quantum Mechanics, it's a lot of mathematical speak in order to get across an incredibly simple point:
"Two objects (except for of course wavelengths, as they do not classify as objects) cannot occupy the same space at the same time." If we remember that fermions are essentially subatomic particles, meaning electrons, neutrons, and protons, breaking this down further, it's essentially that "no two subatomic particles within the same atom can occupy the same state at the same time", for example - no two electrons within the same atom can have two identical values applied to them, they MUST be opposites. Using this information, we can deduce that it is physically impossible for two objects to exist within the same space at the exact same time.
In Hrot, the super shotgun's barrels are clipping directly through the center bar of the gun - thus violating the basic law of physics that two objects cant occupy the same space at the same time - thus further violating the Pauli Exclusion Principle.
In short - it was an overly complicated way to tell a simple joke (or perhaps a simple way to tell an overly complicated joke, depending on how you look at the matter. It's a 'glass is half full/half empty' logical deduction conundrum).
"soviet russia" meme aside, it should be noted that there are a few pump-forward shotguns, like the Neostead or the RMB-93

"Ball lighting launcher" is probably reference to same named Czechoslovakian movie "Ball Lighting"
In Czech "Kulový Blesk"
The movie came in 1978 and it's pretty well known in here so yeah it's probably by that, but just my guess.
The color scheme is not only a reference to Quake-engine games, but also a cultural reference to the period of Communist regime in the 1970s and 1980s, referred to as "Normalization". This period is usually remembered as devoid of spirit, grey and depressing. The inscriptions and signs are also cultural references to existing places or to propaganda signs that used to be put on every corner during that time.
Couple of notes:
- What you call a "table" is actually a public ash tray. This used to be a common feature in many public spaces.
- That gym scene is a reference to compulsory gymnastics classes in schools, hated by many.
- I cannot really find an explanation for so many sewers. In fact, 95 percent of sewers in Czechoslovakia were just narrow pipes, not walkable tunnels like in New York. I suspect that the developers made this deliberately to tease retro-game players, who like to make "sewer level" jokes.
This is why I like Civvie so much. Other youtubers just review the game and be done with it. Civvie gives us history lessons and background checks into the games that borders on being Easter eggs, like the Gustav picture frame you can kiss; would’ve just be a weird inclusion if you didn’t know about that infamous moment.
Something impressive about this game is just how fast the developer responds to feedback. Features and fixes have been requested on the Steam forum and added/ changed the next day.
I saw a thread of someone who played the game but couldn't go far due to their arachnophobia (you fight spiders in the dark and even a giant spider as a boss); Literally just 3 hours later the Dev responded with an update that lets you turn off the spiders by replacing them with rats in the options menu.
It's bloody amazing.

Definitely gonna be fun to see Civvie cover the full release.

I get all nostalgic whenever someone mentions a Flak Cannon.
Brings me back to Unreal Tournament and the epic steaksauce goodness that was the Flak Cannon.
Why can't devs make weapons like that anymore?
I remember the AMD 64-bit transition and it… not handling that well. And specifically the flak cannon. Shoot an oncoming Scorpion in the face and it might rocket into the sky and explode off the world ceiling… which you would then have to dodge upon its return to the ground. Was always hilarious. Friggin' loved the Flak.
The Flak Cannon was beyond God Tier. King of kings of weapons.
It's great to see that civvie actually took the time to do some research unlike some *other* reviewer.
No, Prague is not neighboring to Russia nor is it a small town.
What do you expect? Gmanlives puts no effort into his videos.
When Civvie's channel came into existence, I basically stopped watching GmanLives altogether.
To be fair though, I feel like they compliment each other:
Civvie's channel is for people who know some shit about games.
Gman's channel is for people who don't.
@@aschtheconjurer I do like both but I don't marathon gmans videos like I do Civvie's. Gman only talks about the game itself with immature "hey look at me I browse 4chan too" humor mixed with gitgud bs while Civvie usually talks about the context and history of the games while mentioning the people behind them and making it all super interesting with his fun dungeon lore. I agree they compliment each other but Gman is basically a one trick pony. I respect his skill at fps games for sure but he might want to get more creative with his video ideas other than hiring a thumbnail artist that's good at lewding fps characters.
I would like to give ups to Gman though for recommending ICARUSLIV3S. That guy makes really great DOOM content!

I thought this game was a legit fever dream. Holy fuck.
The second most unexpected pleasant surprise of today was Civvie dropping a playthrough series of this game.

Going from games like Catacombs to Wolf3D to Doom to Quake (and the "brown shooter" craze Quake spawned for the next decade+) was mind blowing at the time. Graphics and gameplay tech was moving at bloody light speed back then too, as it was only 3 years from Wolf to Q1 -- a night and day difference graphically; at least as drastic an improvement as current-gen fps games look compared to Quake, except it only took the relative blink of an eye to achieve that back then. And only 5 years from Wolf to Deus Ex, which is still impressive for it's huge maps, fleshed out world, total interactivity, etc. All stuff which have become almost standard for decades now, but was again like night and day from the simple 2.5D, 320x280, shoot-everything-that-movies-in-a-repetitive-maze games that started this genre.
Maybe it's just me, but past about 2010 or so, things have really hit a huge plateau in gaming, especially the fps genre. I mean both graphically and gameplay wise in comparison to the incredible leaps and bounds of 1990s-2000s development. Kids today are spoiled and don't get that, and don't understand how jaw dropping it was for a generation raised on Atari consoles, arcade machines, and 486 IBM PCs to play a primitive, pixellated brown game like this for the first time. Thing is, even older games as "primitive" as Blood or Doom are still fun as hell; though I find it funny the retro look of that whole era is now considered cool and trendy when for me it's just nostalgic...
Fun fact blood and fat is a British delicacy, black pudding is basically that mixed with oats. Surprisingly not as bad as you think it would be.
A lot of mistakes were made after WW1.
Civvie, after WW1 is a time frame of nearly 100 years that continues to grow.
I mean, he isn't wrong no matter how you slice it.
I mean,some mistakes where made when the Big Bang was generated,so fair enough for Civvie to already reduce the timeline
Yeah
I say that the problems REALLY started, either with Franz Ferdinand's assassination, or how precariously things were set, thanks to Bismarck.

Saving people's lives from the confines of your dungeon. You rock, man.
I´m Slovak (former Czechoslovak) and everything in this video is true. Color palette is correct, historic realies are correct, even language in this game is correct. Even Civvie´s pronunciation of game´s title "Hrot" is correct. Very well done!
Civvie. All monsters that cannot fly or swim, in water - die instantly anyway. It is enough to shove them there with a kick.
I purchased the game in early access when there were already 2 episodes ready. On May 16, 2023, the full version with 3 episodes was released. So, if the first two episodes are still played in the same breath, the third episode is strikingly different. Each of the levels of the third episode has unique interactions, as well as many new enemies that are found literally in 1-2 levels, and nowhere else.
I think you must observe this game in full version once yet!
"lets just check the steam page..." NEW WEAPON, OCTO-SHOTGUN.
oh
5:24 - I personally only ever used the land mines to open secrets, as they could be detonated with gunfire.
13:08 - From my own experience with the game, gasmask horse drowns now the instant he goes underwater. Sorry Civvie, you didn't kill it this time.
Actually it turns out that “hrot” means “prong” in Czech which is cool if under the assumption that the prong is a weapon correlating to the mid 80s Czechoslovakia theme
Today I learned from Civvie that 'Smooth Rest Cafe' is the name of that legendary intro song.
Thank you Civ!
The Gas-Mask Horse part was the most disturbing thing I've watched in quite a while, but it was so fitting.
David Lynch would be proud.
Corrections:
13:07 in the new update, all land enemies die in water instead of bobbing like before, so shocking the horse in water is pointless
Also, 11:30 pretty sure that's an ash tray, a public one I guess.
depressing af but props to the dev for writing a custom engine that ACTUALLY looks and feels authentically 90s
Fun fact, there were actually pump forward shotguns made in the soviet union
I wonder if we'll ever see games where we explore some commercial-laden hellscape of failed Raeganomics... you know what, nevermind.
Thats just the US
Eh. Its all around us. At least watching "soviet horrors" is fun.
A never-ending Wal-Mart. Call it the All-Mart Megamall.
That’s just NARC.
We call that "Real Life."
Czech language, where you can have sentences without a single vowel, like: "Prd krt skrz drn, zprv zhlt hrst zrn" (warning: don't try to translate it).
Would love to see Civvie trying to pronounce that. :D
I translated it.
The smell would be bad.
Grammar nazi here. Maybe grammar KGB? Most of these words are anachronisms, but sadly yes, this is a sentence.
I hate the fact I laughed at the word prd. Yes, I know what it means, I'm Slovakian.
add a beat and you have a modern rap hit
That spinning decal of a shotgun is a mind-numbing exercise to deduce. Soviet RMB-93 combat shotguns did prime this way, good video.
I keep coming back to this game, for some reason it's become very addictive and comfy for me
Oh, hey Civvie! You always make my day when you post! Never stop being you man #freecivvie
Love your stuff Civvie 11! If you ever get out of the Dungeon, come by to Prague! I'll show you how metro station Kosmonautů really looks like. We can have a beer or shoot a horse with a gas mask together!
Thanks, Civvie, I'm absolutely delighted by this game! Feels like a childhood in post-soviet era :)
The entire menu and HUD and messages are very Doom, but the models have that PS1 polygon warping to them. But then there is this unfiltered crunchyness of Quake on software renderer with 16 bit color depth.
but Civvie, we NEED to have map screens that require pausing because how else will our puny fps brains be able to focus on objectives
the first hub of WRATH: aeon of ruin is done too, you should do the first 5 levels in it
Good vid. Cant wait for the full game and subsequent PRO HROT
Comrade, Episode 2 awaits.
