The Story So Far

SUPERHOT is the first person shooter where time moves only when you move.

With its mesmerising gameplay and unique, stylized graphics SUPERHOT aims to finally add something new and disruptive to the FPS genre.

It started out as a 7 Day First Person Shooter (7DFPS) game jam project made by a group of friends in August 2013. After releasing the prototype of SUPERHOT to the Internet, it quickly became very popular – the game was featured on sites like RPS, PCGamer, GiantBomb and more!

Thanks to the support of our fans, SUPERHOT went through the Steam Greenlight process during a single weekend. This allowed us to expand the team and start remaking the prototype into a full-blown game.

On May 14th, 2014 we launched a Kickstarter campaign which was funded within the first 23 hours. In the end we received over $250,000 from our community – many thanks to all who backed SUPERHOT! Thirty months in the making. Thousands of hours put into development and design.

Right now SUPERHOT has 3 different games with unfortunately similar names which can be confusing.

SUPERHOT was launched in February 2016, the completely separate SUPERHOT VR shipped in December 2016. SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE, which utilizes roguelike elements such as procedural generation and permadeath, became available through early access in December 2017 and was released officially in July 2020.

We are bad at inventing names but we think our games are quite good. Come and join the fray.
