Almaty, Kazakhstan — July 8, 2026 — Publisher Valkyrie Initiative and solo developer FoxusSexus have announced that the demo for HMUR, a fast-paced retro first-person shooter, will launch on Steam in September 2026.
The announcement comes alongside a new trailer featuring fresh gameplay footage and a look at the game’s updated visual style.
Following HMUR’s selection as one of 50 finalists at The Indie Premier 2026, the new trailer shifts the focus back to the game itself: high-speed combat, brutal encounters, non-linear levels, and a twisted Soviet sci-fi setting where stopping for even a second can mean death.
Key Features:
- Fast-paced retro FPS combat inspired by the energy and intensity of classic 90s shooters
- One-life, high-stakes gameplay where speed and precision are essential
- Non-linear levels that allow players to choose different paths and adapt their approach
- A twisted Soviet-inspired setting built around a classified facility in the aftermath of disaster
- Scarce resources, brutal encounters, and constant pressure to keep moving
