Hrdina

Hrdina is a platformer about a hero who leaves a game and enters the real world. Its levels are generated by analyzing music by the Czech band Zrní, using the full album Hrdina počítačový hry jde do světa (Hero of a Computer Game Goes Out into the World) to shape the levels and set their mood. The game’s content is tailored to the music and its lyrics.

Levels and story

As you progress, the view’s perspective changes, and each level introduces a new concept or type of obstacle. Contextual text, obstacles and occasional commentary reveal the hero’s struggle. Though the lyrics are in Czech, the main character explains the plot through comic-style speech bubbles.

Music and bonuses

Keys scattered throughout the levels unlock music in the bonus menu. The game also includes Steam achievements.
