Kona

My god this game is terr..
ific! Outstanding job devs! Out f***ing standing! You just saved me a £700 trip to Canada. I can experience the outdoors for a fraction of the price.

On a serious note, this game has found the perfect balance between atmosphere and exploration. I had done my research on this game before purchasing, looking at youtube videos etc. but honeslty nothing could have prepared me for the jaw-dropping experience of walking through the harsh conditions of the Canadian winter depicted in this game.

As the official war photographer of the WW1 FPS Verdun (yes that is my title) I was enthralled to find a wonderful polaroid camera lying on a bench. I'm sure this is the first polaroid camera in the history of video games? Anyway, Kona is a seriously amazing experience and reminds me of the hit US show 'Fargo'. Hopefully there are no psychopaths lurking behind store boxes :/.

May I make a suggestion? Perhaps the main charcter could do a spot of ice fishing next to the lake to re-gain strength and offers an opportunity for you guys to let the player experience the beauty of this game.

I don't want to sound demanding but perhaps a few Moose here and there would add some nice diversity to the local wildlife population. They could appear on the roads when driving your car which would force the driver to be extra cautious. Any player who wished to run over such magnificent animals through their callous demenour would face the horns of the antelope through the car window screen (last save inbound).

Lastly devs, as this is your first game I must say you guys have very creative minds and this game genuinely feels like a niche in the market. I wish you all the success in the world.

Actually, in Life is Strange, the main character is using a polaroid camera (even if it takes place in the 2010's) :)
But yeah, Kôna is going to be a masterpiece IMO. I can feel it already.

lol I must admit, I was a bit scared when I read the title of this thread :P

Thanks so much for this outstanding (p)review, everyone here read it, and it really means a lot :)

As for the suggestions, we will look into them!

Thanks again!
Cheers from Canada!

Yes it's not 4 episodes of the same story, it's 4 different games in the same universe.
And if you buy it now, it's less expensive than if you wait for the final release.
