6About Kholat
Narrated by one of the most popular British actors, Sean Bean, Kholat is an exploration adventure game with elements of horror, inspired by a true event known as the Dyatlov Pass incident – a mysterious death of nine Russian hikers, which led to countless, unconfirmed hypotheses. The player will plunge directly into the boundless scenery of the inhospitable Ural Mountains with the task to find out what really happened. In the course of events, you may come across more speculations than expected... Will you find the answer? Will you get any closer to the truth? Will you survive? Dyatlov Pass incident was a real story that happened in winter of 1959. Nine skilled alpinists went for a trip to the northern part of Ural Mountains, which ended fatally. Bodies of expedition's crew were found scattered on slope of Kholat Syakhl. Russian investigators closed the case stating that "a compelling unknown force" had caused the deaths.

TechRaptor Review[techraptor.net]
TechRaptor Review[techraptor.net] Kholat is a rare type of game – one that challenges you and harkens back to another era in many ways. Kholat is a first person survival horror exploration game based on the real life Dyatlov Pass Incident. Unlike many other “survival horror” games, Kholat isn’t actually an action game or a crafting game with touches of horror. Instead, Kholat takes you to a beautiful, yet haunting world that heavily relies on atmosphere to create tension. Set in the Northern Ural Mountains, you are there a while after the Dyatlov Pass Incident trying to figure out what happened. With you, you have no weapons, no cell phone, basically nothing other than a flashlight, a compass, and a map that you find. On the map there is a list of 9 coordinates – major locations for you to visit and find out information about what has happened. Kholat is a difficult game to score because it is one that if it resonates with you, it will be in your game of the year lists I think. However, it is a pretty niche title with the difficulty, the genre, the map navigating and other factors, as well as a relatively short average run time (unless you get lost all over the place like me). If a game that focuses on atmosphere, beautiful graphics and horror generated not through cheap tricks and jump scares interests you, I recommend Kholat wholeheartedly. Final Score: Very Good 7/10 "Kholat is a welcome challenging and atmospheric take on the horror genre" Read the full Review[techraptor.net]

A quiet favourite
I read the negative reveiws the majorty seem to be about the games "lack of story" or how much walking there is. but this isnt an action game. this is about the exploration and the adventure. i played for about 3 hours and got bored but i realise now i wasnt in the right mind set. i was skipping the notes so it seems like a boring game but when i came back i realised it isnt. it has a rich story it to it and it got me reading about the real story thats its based upon and i it make it much more of a great experiance for me. Plus the soundtrack is awesome af.
