Łukasz Kubiak, of IMGN.PRO:
“The trailer we have released today is the best short summary of one and half years of our development work, which is finally coming to an end. During that time Kholat has undergone the way from an ambitious idea in our heads to a finished game with few hours of gameplay taking place on open world map, narrated by one of the most famous British actors. One thing however hasn’t changed from the beginning – Kholat is a game that doesn’t follow mainstream game design rules but creates its own, which are based on players intelligence and imagination.”
Kholat is an exploration game inspired by true events known as the Dyatalov Pass Incident, where nine Russian hikers died in the Ural Mountains in February 1959 under extremely mysterious and controversial circumstances. The game places players in the same area of the incident, in the shadow of the mountain Kholat Sykhl, years after the indicent.
