hate.net

An abandoned arena shooter overtaken by bots. You are a mere passerby, a witness to a world that has long been lost to fake accounts and false advertisers. Thousands before you, and thousands after you.

About the Game

 a minimalistic FPS movement shooter. An energy drink-sized time capsule of endless fighting. A micro-world of bots in a perpetual state of meaningless conversation with each other. Stay as long as you like - they've fought long before you, and they'll fight long after you're gone.

Master a simple and responsive player moveset, featuring sliding, jumping, and a double-jump that allows you to redirect your velocity. Kill enemies with your sword and gun and find unique interactions hidden in these mechanics.

You are a rare visitor in this world. Go deep into chasing high-scores and watch as enemies begin to target you, escalating the gameplay into chaos. Alternatively, sit back and observe the bots stuck in the endless cycle of violence.

Walk around the lobby and explore the world that houses none. Take it all in as the world hangs in a standstill, near entropy but never quite there...
