* AmbiguousSituation: At no point in the game is it ever explicitly stated exactly what's going on, what really happened at Dylatov pass, what any of the mysterious concepts discussed in the notes actually mean, or even who your character actually is. You'll just have to guess and make up your own mind after the credits roll.

* InvincibleBoogeymen: You have no means of fighting off the spirit creature that roams the mountain, so you have to flee from it whenever you come across it.

* AluminiumChristmasTrees: The stone pillars that are one of the first things you see after starting the main part of the game are modeled after the Man'-Pupyg-Nyor (or Man-Pupu-Nyor) pillars located in the Pechora-Ilych Reserve in Komi Republic, some 60 km north from the Kholat-Syahl mountain. The original form a line rather than circle though.

The game is very similar to ''VideoGame/{{Slender}}'' in that you play FeaturelessProtagonist in the wilderness, trying to find pages while a supernatural force hounds them. However, it is different enough to stand on its own merits despite the obvious influences. The game's primary gameplay challenge comes from the fact that the player's position is not marked on the map, requiring usage of landmarks, the compass, and a good sense of direction in general to find your way throughout the mountain. This focus on navigation and exploration as a key element of gameplay also gives the game some similarities to ''VideoGame/{{Miasmata}}''.
The story is based on the Dyatlov Pass incident, in which nine hikers were discovered dead under mysterious circumstances on the Kholat Syakhl mountain in Russia, from which the game derives its name.

* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: The primary mystery of the Dyatlov Pass Incident is what caused the hikers to quickly leave their tents and subsequently die from hypothermia (at which point animals ate the remains). This game, however -- like a lot of the urban legends about the incident -- spices it up with paranormal fire people and demonic altars. Not that that's a bad thing, but there's definitely a lot of ArtisticLicense involved.

* DarkerAndEdgier: In the game, mountains are presented as alpine, jagged peaks and the surroundings are definitely rocky. This is a far cry from the real Ural range in that region, that forms gentle, rolling slopes. Of course, it is up to debate [[spoiler: how real is the terrain actually is]].
