SUPERHOT 

SUPERHOT is the first person shooter where time moves only when you move. With its mesmerising gameplay and stylized graphics SUPERHOT aims to finally add something new and disruptive to the FPS genre. Dodge bullets. Take out your enemies. One step at a time. 

SUPERHOT was developed by SUPERHOT Team and directed by Piotr Iwanicki. The game originated as an entry in the 2013 7 Day FPS Challenge, which was expanded into a browser-based demonstration that September. Widespread attention from the demonstration prompted the team to develop the full game, using Kickstarter to secure funding to complete the title. SUPERHOT was released on numerous platforms. A rebuilt version of the game to better support  virtual reality, SUPERHOT VR, was later released for VR hardware. A standalone expansion, SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE, which utilizes roguelike elements such as procedural generation and permadeath, is planned for a 2018 release and became avaliable through early access in December 2017.

Piotr Iwanicki & SUPERHOT Team 

Piotr Iwanicki is the game director and studio lead responsible for SUPERHOT. He started his career developing games for flash portals and his projects slowly grew and became more visible. He started SUPERHOT as a game jam project and as the game gained recognition, Piotr transformed a mostly amateur team into a full fledged development studio.
