    This thrilling story will keep you at the edge of your seat and will leave you wanting to know more about these events. Kholat won’t disappoint the fans of the genre and is worth a try.

    IMGN.PRO's indie survial horror video game encourages profound contemplation, specifically about living with death.

    A poignant and masterfully haunting affair, Kholat’s flawed narrative and sparse environments aren’t enough to considerably detract from its overwhelming atmospherics and sense of adventure.

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.

    Game in first person that will make you enter a story based on real events.
    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.
