Story & names
Inspired by the real-life Dyatlov Pass Incident, the story sends the player deep into the frozen Ural Mountains to retrace the final steps of nine Russian students who vanished on Kholat Syakhl, a peak whose name means "Dead Mountain." Guided by a narrator who recounts the details of the tragedy, the protagonist arrives by train in the town of Ivdel and sets out on foot along the doomed party's route. As the weather turns and darkness gathers, strange phenomena begin to appear: glowing orange footprints in the snow, eerie lights, and shadowy humanoid figures. Venturing across a vast and desolate wilderness, the lone traveler must gather scattered notes and coordinates that hint at what truly happened on the mountain, all while avoiding the hostile presences that stalk its slopes.
