Kona Now Localized in Simplified Chinese, and Daily Deal: 40% off!

Hey everyone! As you know, Canada is famous for its nice and warm weather (especially in the winter). We wouldn’t want to keep it for ourselves, so we make constant efforts to share it with more people around the globe. Today, we are happy to announce that a new Kona update is now live, and it includes Simplified Chinese localization, bringing the game’s famous blizzard on more screens! To celebrate, Kona will be 40% off as part of the Daily Deals! The sale starts at 1:00 PM ET! The patch also contains small bug fixes and optimizations. There is only one significant change (except for SC) in the patch: we changed the way “visions” are triggered. The reason is mostly tied to the end of the game, so we will not explain it here to avoid spoilers. If you really want to know, please let us know in the comments and we’ll create a sticky thread in the forums.

Coming Next: Russian Localization

As you probably know, localization can be really expensive (both in time and money), which is why Russian language is not in the game yet. So why is Simplified Chinese language in the game before Russian? We had a generous opportunity for Simplified Chinese localization, which made it possible for us to add it in the game first. We understand that it’s been a few months since the game’s official release, and we would like to thank you for your patience. Rest assured that today’s update didn’t delay Russian localization, which will be added in Kona by Q4 2017.

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.
