Almaty, Kazakhstan - 11 September 2025 - Solo indie developer FoxusSexus today announced that the first public Playtest for HMUR will kick off on September 23, 2025. Players around the world are invited to dive into the chaos early, provide feedback, and earn a unique in-game reward that will carry over into the full release.
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.
