Superhot is an indie game that launched on PC back in 2016 before heading to both PS4 and Xbox One, as well as launching a VR version. The game is kind of a first-person shooter where your movement manipulates time, allowing you to dodge bullets and pull off complex plays to kill all the enemies in a room.
By this logic it’s also kind of a strategy game, and the story suggests it takes place in some sort of glitched computer software – which actually makes the fact it’s been leaked pretty appropriate.
