Hi all :) A new minor update has been uploaded to Steam and should soon be available for everyone. Here are the release notes:

Additions

Inventory: Added the ability to deposit and withdraw items from the pickup truck trunk.
Display: Added ultra wide screens support
Display: Added 4:3 screens support (still, we do not recommend playing in 4:3)
Audio: Surround is now supported, but you should change the settings in the main menu, not in game.
Audio: Added an option to reduce the frequency of voice overs. Mostly for streamers or people who prefer silence in general.

Adjustments

We removed some useless voice overs.
We moved some voice overs from "playing on trigger" to "playing on interaction"
We changed the behavior of wolves so they do not "freeze" for 10 seconds, but they are still WIP
We changed the two visions in order to make them clearer.
We reduced the time it takes to freeze as it was too long.

Bug fixes

The reader (F on keyboard, X on controller) would not refresh its position from one letter to another. It now does.

Fixed an issue with tooltips not showing up.

Fixed an issue with the temperature bar not showing up.

Fixed some other smaller issues.

ZE FUTURE

We started working on Mac and Linux port. We should announce next week when we plan to release both versions. It should be soon enough :) We are also working on a big update scheduled for the beginning of April. More on that later! If there is anything you would like to see in forthcoming updates, feel free to write suggestions in the forums. We read them all :D Have a good weekend everyone! Cheers!

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. The first installment in a series of four games, Kona is a chilly, narrative-driven interactive tale you won't soon forget.

"Sometimes I try random Steam Early Access games on a whim. Often, it’s a very bad idea. Kona is a big exception to that rule."
-Kotaku

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.

Key Features

Explore a vast, frigid Northern environment and battle the elements to survive.
