Option to turn off Narrator please?
I know this may sound a bit entitled/bad mannered, and I have never once made a topic like this but ...

If we don't get some option to turn off narrator, I may request a refund.

I know this is early access, but the narrator is so badly voiced, and SO annoying, that it completely kills the immersion for me.

I DO NOT want someone commenting on EVERY THING I DO. it reminds me of that Family Guy episode where that guy would follow Peter around and sing everything he was doing.

Please please give us this option. Untinstalled in the meantime.

The option is already there, you can slide the "voice volume" to 0.

We have to work on narrative content as there are too many in some places. We have some voices to record again too because they are not quite right. However, our game is meant to be a narrative tale, so it's part of the experience and removing them completely is off the table. We don't advise it, but you can always turn voice volume off if you want. It's your game, after all ;)

The current plan is to have two game modes; one “casual” and one “immersive”. The first one will have more narration, tooltips and journal entries to guide the player through the experience while the other is kept minimalist so that the guiding tools don’t get too much in the way.

Let me know if there's anything else ;)

Oh okay. I am so sorry if my comment came off as super-rude, and appreciate the reply.

I guess what i am saying is, I would rather piece together the clues myself, from reading about the story/whats happening though newspapers, notes, etc.

But thank you very much. I will look into the voice volume : )

No worries, I didn't take it as a rude comment :P
All feedback is important, I prefer this over someone who doesn't talk to us and get a refund haha

The narrator is horrible and annoying. It's gonna be a refund for me. A shame, as it seemed like a cool game.

I recommend everyone who find Kona interesting, to check out The Long Dark instead. Kona is a cheap copy, with an annoying twist that is the narrator.
