Jorge S Fernandez: "We have been seeing an increase in "atmospheric" games of late, or as they are better known by their player-created Steam tag, "Waking Simulator"; games like Dear Esther and Gone Home have made exploration the key element in their creations, where observation of sights and sounds take priority over a traditional gameplay goal. While this certainly increases the appreciation of videogames as an art form, it does bring a divisive sentiment from gamers who prefer a more clear-cut goal and those who enjoy taking their time to take in the sights."

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.
