    It’s a disappointment to see something squander such potential.

    It’s a shame because Kholat has one of the best horror game set-ups we’ve seen for quite some time. Not only that, the team at IMGN.PRO has clearly put effort into sculpting an spooky collection of vistas each dripping in atmosphere. Sadly, wedged between these tense moments is way too much filler. The mind-numbing map reading and navigation would have been easy to overlook if that only made up a small portion of the game. Instead, it forms this drab and unappealing bedrock that threatens to drag Kholat down whenever there isn’t something scripted happening on-screen.

    Kholat had a lot of potential, but is unfortunately hard to enjoy, due to frustrating gameplay and hard to decipher orienteering mechanics. It will appeal to the odd soul, who will fall in love with its disturbing and maze-like mountaintop setting, but most will come away annoyed.

    Grievously weighed down by its unforgiving orienteering mechanic, tedious gameplay and frame-rate issues, Kholat is more likely to leave you with your head aching rather than your head spinning.

It's challenging and does not forgive players who are pushing forward without thinking. The map, compass and good terrain orientation are all necessary in Kholat. If you admire a good challenge set in amazing mood, graphics and sounds then this should be a treat for you.… Full Review »

It is hard toThis game evades the comparison to any other game out there. I can see why it gets very different scores from various sources. It is hard to grasp, difficult to understand at times. If you are looking for walking simulator - walk way. If you are looking for horror - you can find more typical game of such genre elsewhere. If you are looking for adventure - it is not a typical one. But I found in it something fresh that
    has incredible atmosphere, stellar voice acting, brilliant landscapes and mood. For the price I bought (18 EUR) this is definitely a good value. I spent around 7,5 hour with it and I love watching how other streamers player it. Go check it yourself.    … Full Review »

    This game of adventure and terror is inspired by an incident he had in Dyatlov, when 9 Russian hikers mysteriously died without knowing how or why. In the game, our character will have to discover the reasons why these Russian hikers died.

    This game is narrated by one of the most popular British actors, Sean Bean. If we add to that the environment of the game, the effects, the fear, its history and its graphic quality we can imagine that we are facing a masterpiece of fear games in the first person. This game you will enjoy from the first minute without any doubt.    … Full Review »
