In our review of Kholat we commented on the basic mechanics of Kholat, so there would be no clear point in explaining the same things over and over again. Gamespedition has decided to give you a lot of tips and techniques on how to survive and beat the game in a jiffy. Well, not actually a jiffy, since Kholat is a very complex and hard game, but these tips will certainly help you out along the way.

  1. The map and the compass
    • You need to learn how to position and orient yourself on the map. Once started, the player will only see a few numbered coordinates on the top-left and a fire icon in the center. The compass helps move about and position yourself in the area of the desired coordinates. The compass, however, is Russian and if you don’t know Cyrillic writing, you’re screwed. No you’re not. Red is north, black is south. Just follow these directions to get anywhere you want.
  2. Coordinates on rocks
    • Some rocks have very very bleached and hard to read (but possible to read) numbers scribbled on them. It is the exact numeric expression of the coordinates that you’re in. Open up a map to give yourself a hint. Trouble is, that these rocks are kind of hard to spot, so you need to be aware, because Kholat loves mysteries and secrets.
  3. Save points and checkpoints.
    • Progress is very precious in Kholat so any kind of checkpoints are very precious and valuable. You will come across some fires burning and a tent. Approach the fire and a save icon will flash, indicating that you have saved the game and dying will respawn you in the latest checkpoint. Get in the tent to find out your exact coordinates at the moment. That is also very helpful.
  4. Atmosphere enhancement
    • Turn down the lights and put on head or earphones. We know this isn’t actually a game tip, but this makes the experience so much more unique and wonderful, that you have to try this out. We know a lot of horror games are played best this way, but playing Kholat in a different manner is almost criminal.

So we hope this guide was helpful and will provide you with the right knowledge for Kholat progress and even more scary experiences. It’s a great game with a lot of unique aspects so what are you waiting for? Go play it!
