![]() That said, in my view the original Superhot is more about addiction and Mind Control Delete is about greed and over-attachment.” The ending strongly veers toward his view. It’s much more powerful for someone to filter the game through the lenses of their own experiences. While the theme of Superhot is supposed to be up to interpretation, Surma spoils things a bit, noting: “We try to leave our games free for interpretation to the players and wouldn’t like to push our own narrative. Surma states: “After all, we don’t want to punish the players, we want players to feel both the significance of what they themselves achieved during the ending, and to have a moment to be part of this experience more as performing along than just playing.” Originally the timer was going to be 24 hours (!), but they shortened it to eight and now, 2.5. You can take a look at an Xbox One screenshot of the timer from my playthrough below.Įurogamer had the chance to speak to the game’s co-director, Marcin Surma, who explained the situation a bit. On PC this timer has been reduced to two and a half hours via a patch, but the timer remains at the original setting on consoles (for now). In short, after finishing the final set of levels in Mind Control Delete, the player is asked to wait eight hours for the game to “reboot itself” before you can play it again. While the sentiment remains following a recent patch, the ending requirements are a bit more lenient now: at least on PC. Though I must admit, part of my enthusiasm to finish the game was lit by the fires of curiosity: as numerous discussion boards for Mind Control Delete (from Reddit to the game’s Steam page) were ablaze with controversy surrounding the ending. Time also does not move on while turning.Superhot: Mind Control Delete came out a few weeks ago, and I’ve had a blast working through it. Unlike the commercial version there are no other ranged weapons and no melee weapons, but enemies can be taken out by clicking on them from behind. The gun can be throw to stun enemies, causing them to drop their gun, which can be picked up by the player's character to continue shooting. This prototype version only has one weapon and it has a limited amount of ammo. The same technique is used to dodge bullets, leaving behind a bright red trail. As there are often multiple enemies approaching for different directions, the player has to plan carefully as the flow of time can be controlled, but not be rewound. All action is virtually paused until something is done, such as moving, shooting or hitting. A distinct gameplay element is that time generally only moves when the player's character does so. Levels are played in minimalist environments that have white and grey tones, while all opponents and bullets are bright red. It is strategic first-person shooter where the player's character needs to survive waves of enemies in small environments through combat, but most importantly by controlling the flow of time. This prototype only contains a few levels, but already has most of the final game mechanics in place. It forms the foundation of the 2016 title Superhot following a successful crowdfunding campaign. Description Superhot is a prototype game created for the 2013 7 Day FPS game jam.
