My adventure with retro-FPS games started with the innocent, but hyper-fast Post Void, which is available on the Steam store for less than a tenner. For the price of a panini from polish Żabka, I received a crazy, roguelike, almost surreal combination of Doom and Hotline Miami, in which you have to defeat 11 narrow, randomly generated rooms in a row, filled with an increasingly crazy set of enemies and colorful wallpapers reminiscent of 1970s kitsch.
The plot is simple - after an inhuman headache tears you from the peaceful sanctuary of the Void, you must carry your disembodied head through a tragedy of violence and chaos confined within four walls as its life force pours out of it with every passing second.
Post Void is like a drug from a cyberpunk movie. It spins, distorts, flashes and screams with colors. In short - it ruthlessly attacks your senses and lulls your attention with a hypnotizing artistic direction. It only takes ten seconds to give you motion sickness, then a migraine... and then you magically get the hang of it and you're thrown into an addictive loop.
The game took me 5 hours and is quite difficult to master, but if you use your head and analyze your mistakes during hundreds of failed attempts, you can beat it. Under the influence of adrenaline, wiping cold sweat from forehead and staring manically with bloodshot eyes, but you can.
For fans of: ADHD, psychedelia, speedruns, surrealism, the 70s, FPS genre, short and fast games and men in black.
This game is fucking metal. Like, Voivod-level metal. And if you showed it to a Victorian child, it would die instantly.
