Description
Northern Canada, 1970. A strange blizzard ravages Atamipek Lake. Step into the shoes of a detective to explore the eerie village, investigate surreal events, and battle the elements to survive. Kona is a chilly, narrative-driven interactive tale you won't soon forget.

"Parabole has created a stunning game of duality, effortlessly blending survivalism with detective work and well-researched history with dying folklore."
- Stephen Turner, Destructoid

"It’s tremendous at creating its distinct atmosphere and then drawing you deeper in. It’s witty, spooky, and achieves an ideal sense of urgency. Weird, clamant and intriguing, this is well worth a look."
- John Walker, Rock, Paper, Shotgun

Setting
October 1970. W. Hamilton, a rich industrialist who owns a hunting manor in Northern Canada, reports several cases of vandalism perpetrated against his property. Unable to find out who dared to commit these acts, Hamilton calls Carl Faubert, a renowned private detective to handle the affair.
In Kona, Carl becomes trapped up in the deep north, engulfed in an unexpected snowstorm, and is unable to find his client —or any other living inhabitant for that matter. The player incarnated detective Faubert, who must shed light on the mysterious events befalling the area.
  • Step into a surreal interactive tale of mystery and investigate the perplexing quietness in the entire town

  • Enjoy the atmospheric soundtrack featuring music by Quebec folk band CuréLabel
  • Experience the tale through the omniscient, third-person storyteller

Horrible

The game's got an incredibly annoying narrator, which explains everything you're doing - as you're doing it. It seems to me like a parody of the narrator in Thomas Was Alone, and the game itself is a cheap copy of The Long Dark, just poorly executed. Devs response to the horrible narrator was to play the game on mute.

Unable to play this game...

After starting the game, I can't get any further than the start screen with the options "Start" and "Options". Neither can be clicked and nothing happens.

Game does not run on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS

Games cannot start on Ubuntu since Unity crashes due to the file data.unity3d missing. Looking around for a solution for this but could not find a solution yet.

I wanted to like it

A boring hipster fantasy set in a boring hipster 1970's world. Buggy, slow-paced, unpolished, and ultimately not fun. There are a hundred games just like this, and Kona has nothing new to say.
