Kholat
Release date: June 9
Platform: PC
Rating: T16+
Need a little horror in your life? Well we have something that will fix you right up. And that something is
Kholat, the adventure horror game developed by independent Polish studio IMGN.PRO. The game was inspired by a real-life event known as the Dyatlov Pass Incident which took place in the Northern Ural Mountains in 1959. In the game we follow the path of the group of nine Russian students that mysteriously die on their expedition, their corpses found near an abandoned encampment. Players are thrown into the area where the tragedy occurred, a frozen forest in the dead of night, and are tasked with finding their way to the target while avoiding attack from whatever creatures lurk in the dark.
Kholat uses the game mechanic known as fear manager, this creates a grim atmosphere of dread and anxiety based on the player’s actions. The level of fear changes as you get deeper into the game making for a truly terrifying game play.
