Kholat

Kholat is for players who enjoy slow wandering through empty places and piecing together strange mysteries. There are no chases or swarms of monsters here: the main feeling is cold, silence, and the sense that something is off just beyond the next ridge. The game is built around the story of a group of hikers who died in the mountains in 1959, and you gather the picture of what happened from scraps of evidence. Why grab it: - For the first hours you mostly trudge through snow, read notes, and check your map and compass, since navigation here is real. - The world is non-linear, so you can head out in any order and stumble onto side stories, of which there are plenty. - A run takes roughly 4-6 hours, so it fits into one evening or a weekend without dragging. - Sean Bean narrates, and his voice keeps the tension up even in the quietest moments. You get a Steam activation key for the Global region, shown on the order page right after payment. Enter it in the Steam client and the game will appear in your library. 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.
