Hello friends. This is a Let’s Play video of “HMUR” playtest version. HMUR is a fast-paced retro-FPS, in the original setting, that merges Soviet aesthetics with whacky madness and frantic dynamics of iconic 90s shooters. Survive a disaster at a classified Soviet facility as you blast your way through crowds of enemies. Speed is your key to survival.
Blending the bombastic ferocity of 90s shooters with the strange, alluring pulse of Soviet futurism, HMUR carves out a space that feels both bizarrely nostalgic and refreshingly madcap. Set against the backdrop of a classified disaster in a gleaming, doomed Soviet facility, HMUR’s world is awash in chrome and chaos. You find yourself not as a soldier or hero, but as Sergei—a utility worker thrust into the eye of a psychedelic maelstrom. The one-life, endless-attempts structure evokes that pure old-school rush: each run is a brutal ballet of precision and speed, where both you and your enemies are only ever a heartbeat from oblivion. Bullet scarcity, labyrinthine branching maps, and a soundtrack that pulses with industrial bass all combine to deliver a frenetic playground where exploration and survival demand intuition and risk. HMUR is what happens when the era of CRTs, slipgate shooters, and hardbass collide in the wreckage of Soviet optimism—fierce, kinetic, and breathtakingly unhinged.
