Kona is an episodic survival-adventure game that tells the story of a private detective hired by a rich industrialist to investigate acts of vandalism perpetrated on his summer residence in Northern Quebec.

An interactive tale with a distinct 1970s aesthetic, Kona (previously known as Kôna) invites players to explore frigid, all-too-quiet environments and attempt to reconstruct the strange events that befell the area, all while battling the elements to survive.

Private detective Carl Faubert arrives in an eerie Northern Canadian town to investigate cases of vandalism reported by W. Hamilton, a rich industrialist known to have disagreements with the local Cree community. But an unexpected blizzard is ravaging the area, and Faubert’s client seems to have missed their rendezvous. Something is definitely off...

Much like other adventure games, the players, who incarnate Carl, must use their brains and the tools at hand to overcome obstacles hindering the progression of the case.

Kona is out today on Steam Early Access and is also available on GOG as a game in development.
