About the game
HoITS is a first-person anthology of five short stories. An interrogation room, an investigator, a written statement. A man tells the investigator how it all happened, and you step inside his version of events. You don't play through what happened. You play through the testimony.
When the narrator corrects himself, the world changes to match, right in front of you. A gate swings shut in your face, the pistol vanishes from your hand mid-firefight, a dead man turns out to have been armed after all. The game never tells you what the truth is: all you get is what someone was willing to say out loud.
Four of the stories follow people who keep editing their own statements: a security guard, a sentry, a 22-year-old and a building maintenance man. The fifth follows someone who, years later, opens those case files in a stranger's archive. The first four take place in the Soviet era, the fifth in the present day. Every story ends on the same choice: sign the statement, or don't.
The game is finished and coming to Steam as a standalone release — no s&box account needed. Russian voice acting and subtitles, with English and Spanish text.
