New ‘Kholat’ Footage Tours a Ghost Town

Published

on

The makers of Kholat have released some new footage from the upcoming game that gives us a peaceful walking tour of one of its environments. Seen in the video below is Ivdel — an actual town in Russia — which will serve as one of the first places we visit in the game.

Ivdel looks like a peaceful enough place, but you can be sure it’s hiding something sinister. Just look at that rickety fence. Nothing good happens in a town with a fence like that. At the very least we’re looking at the possibility of injuries caused by stray nails. Sinister nails.

In related news, Kholat is one of a growing number of promising indie horror games that are coming later this year. You can head over here for more of them.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
