description Receiver (2013) Overview

Released in 2013 by Wolfire Games, Receiver is a roguelike first-person shooter that distinguishes itself through highly detailed firearm simulations. Instead of pressing a single button to reload or fire, the player must manually operate every mechanical action of the weapon, such as toggling the safety, charging, decocking, and loading individual cartridges. The game was originally created for a 7-day FPS challenge and features procedurally generated levels. It is designed for players who prioritize mechanical interaction over traditional fast-paced action.
