Hotline Miami is a 2012 top-down shooter game developed by Dennaton Games and published by Devolver Digital. Set in Miami in 1989, the game follows an unnamed silent protagonist—dubbed Jacket by fans—as he commits massacres against the local Russian mafia. Throughout the game, he is interrogated for his actions and slowly loses his grip on reality. In each level, the player must defeat every enemy through any means necessary. Before each level, the player can choose one of several masks that offer unique abilities.
