Hi everyone, As a follow-up to our presence at Gamescom 2022, we have decided to release the Kona II: Brume demo here on Steam for the Next Fest, a multi-day celebration of upcoming games! The demo starts at the very beginning of the game. The player steps into the shoes of detective Carl Faubert, and must explore his surroundings in order to find out more about a strange phenomenon called the Brume. It presents the first thirty minutes of the experience, and showcases several items useful to Carl's investigation —and survival. The demo is for Windows only, and requires a fairly decent GPU, su

Hi everyone, It’s been a while—four challenging years—since we last shared anything substantial with the world. There will be a time to discuss these extraordinary years, as well as to discuss an update to Kona, but today we're here with some other news. We are pleased to reveal the existence of Kona's sequel: Kona II: Brume.

Kona for Virtual Reality has arrived, with support for Oculus, HTC Vive, and motion controls! Here is the trailer: https://youtu.be/HIpAa0fdwYo And for this special occasion, we have prepared a FAQ just in case you’re wondering how it all works: How Do I Get Access to the DLC? Kona VR is available on our store pageas part of a bundle for new players and as DLC for owners of the base game. So What’s Different on VR? Well, not much really. It is Kona, but in virtual reality :) The only big change we’ve made is introducing a safe mode that is always on in VR, which removes combat against wolves.

Hey everyone! It’s been two weeks now since we have launched Kona on Steam. It looks like both the press and you guys are enjoying it! Since launch, more than 5,000 additional players bought Kona and joined us on Steam and 36,987 persons added the game to their wishlists! We’ve had some solid press coverage too: A 8.5/10 review from Destructoid A great unscored review from Rock, Paper, Shotgun A 15/20 review from jeuxvideo(dot)com (in French) While this is all good news, it’s certainly not going to stop us from improving the game!
