About Kohate
✦ AI summary
You're a prisoner sold to a sinister biotech facility and must navigate the Kohate complex, solving puzzles and avoiding a deadly abomination to survive mysterious experiments. This stealth horror revisits the twisted Subject universe with new locations, multiple endings, and secrets designed for a tense single-sitting experience.
In a time where commercial police forces monitor the galaxy, money is the driving force behind arrests. More prisoners means more funding. As the greed of commercialized law enforcement grew, laws became more and more strict causing everyday people to be arrested for the smallest offenses.
High arrest rates led to more money but quickly caused prison overcrowding, giving birth to the Justice Auction System. Now prisoners are simply arrested and sold to the highest bidder. It doesn’t matter what we’re used for, just that there’s room for another prisoner to make another dollar.
You have been arrested and purchased by BioMass Labs for testing at their remote facility: Kohate. No one knows what they do there, but no one has ever come back. You belong to them now, and you will have to perform whatever test they give you… good luck. Stay alive.
Forced to take part in their strange experiment, you are the next subject to enter the Kohate complex.
Explore the complex to find the objects you need to unlock new areas and progress, complete the requirements of your test, and avoid the abomination that has been let loose within the halls at all costs!
Kohate revisits the world of the first solo project from Brian Clarke: The Subject. Bringing a new experience to the mysterious facility with a new location, new test, and expansion upon the lore of The Subject universe.

The lack of saving of any kind doesn't work for me. Nice visuals, sounds, spooky atmosphere and smooth movement aren't enough to save (pun intended) it. No save feature, plus the lack of puzzles (like in the superior "The Subject") ruins the whole experience for me. I really don't get some developers' fixation with "in-one-sitting" games. How about letting the PLAYER decide HOW they're going to play the game, in order to maximize individual experience. Sorry, I really wanted to like this but it has to be thumbs down for me.4 found this helpful
not good but also not bad1 found this helpful
Terrible game design that is out of touch in what is expected in a horror survival. It starts off promising with the open cutscene and basic tutorial. Then you get tossed out into the area where the monster lurks and the shortcomings soon become glaringly obvious, a lack of a proper map and objective leaves you wandering aimless, the vents are built like rat warrens and do radiation damage which bloats the screen with annoying colours that makes no sense in terms of what radiation actually does. All in all this just leaves bad impression to even attempt to finish the game. I will attempt another pass of this game in the future and update this if I can get past these shortcomings... I highly doubt it. Personal Rating 1/5 Stars (Slop).
Great game! Had a ton of fun with this one and the other games by this developer. Short and sweet jn the best way. Gave me a good challenge to figuring out a few of the puzzles. Definitely recommend.
Bought this cause of some youtube vid back in 2021, just now got around to playing it. Had a lot of fun with it. Got ending 3 on my first run and didn't die. Having that experience was a pretty cool one, there aren't a lot of games where it's truly possible to beat it your first time. I feel like I was able to learn a lot in the beginning and combined with good spatial memory it was pretty enjoyable the whole way through. Worth it!
If there was some idea of what the hell you are supposed to be doing probably a good game. but I have spent almost an hour being killed over and over again and have no idea what the hell I am supposed to be doing.
