SUPERHOT

The game concept was original created as a prototype for the 7 Day FPS game jam in 2013 and later developed into a full title following a successful crowdfunding campaign.

The game is constructed as a game also called Superhot played on a fictional BBS-like operation system called piOS.

The player controls a user on the system, where different types of rudimentary apps, ASCII art and programs can be launched, also chatting online to other users.

This OS also acts as the hub and main menu to launch different parts of the game.

There are linear story sequences shown on the OS that often occur between levels.

Through one of the other users the player's character learns about the Superhot game, a cracked title that is played by logging in illegally into a company's website.

What starts as a harmless peek, quickly becomes something more sinister.

Levels are played in minimalist environments that have white and light blue tones, while all opponents and bullets are bright red.

A distinct gameplay element is that time generally only moves when the player's character does so.

All action is virtually paused until something is done, such as moving, shooting or hitting.

These have a limited amount of ammo and can be found in the environment or grabbed from enemies.

Enemies can be hit with fists or by flinging the weapon, which confuses the opponent.

SUPERHOT for PlayStation 4 is currently worth €27.36 loose, €68.40 complete in box, and €164.16 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For SUPERHOT, loose is €27.36 and CIB is €68.40 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of SUPERHOT is currently worth €27.36 loose, versus €34.87 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
