Excerpt: "Kholat is a creepy game, no doubt, but it isn’t the trudging through the snow with a limited capacity for sprinting long distances, it’s the fact that when you complete the game, there’s no payoff for having done everything. It’s an abrupt ending that leaves you with just as many questions as you started with. A game about the the Dyatlov Pass incident to be something like The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, turned out to be a Dear Esther or Slender-type game. Kholat just left me cold, much like the nine hikers that were killed back in 1959."
Angela Qustandi for SG: "I don’t know how it’s possible, but I love and hate this game all at once."
Red Art Games is pleased to announce that online pre-order for the physical boxed version of "Kholat" on Nintendo Switch are available now, with a limited edition of 3800 copies with a price of €29.99/£27/$35.
Kholat has its niche but many tempted to take the plunge will be disappointed due to the game’s frustratingly repetitive and hollow gameplay experience.
