Hi everyone :) Today, Mac and Linux players can plunge into the mystery of Manastan via Steam Early Access. Kona is available now across Windows, Mac, and Linux at 33% off (while it is not displayed as 33% off, the final game will be USD$13.99. Steam does not allow discount tag for more than 7 days on Early Access titles :( ) Please note that since we only have two machines to test on, there might be some issues at first, but we promise to fix them asap :) (Also note that the Steam UI sometimes does not show Mac and Linux icons next to the game "add to cart" yet on non-english Steam pages)
