Kona II: Brume expands upon the original game's snowy murder mystery with a more bombastic approach, with comes with new strengths and weaknesses.
Quick Links Kona has become something of a cult classic since its initial release in 2017, with its blend of walking sim, murder mystery, survival and classic adventure game building an interesting niche. The title certainly had some issues, with some obtuse puzzles and some raised eyebrows over the direction of its story, but it had fantastic atmosphere and a unique 1970s Quebec setting. Now, developer Parabole is back with Kona II: Brume, to revisit this story.
Some of this streamlining works very well. It maintains the adventure game dynamic of solving smaller puzzles to progress in larger ways, but without the first game's approach of having too many items within the player's inventory. It still makes the player have to stop and think about the next step, and ties into the overall feeling of being a detective, but without the sense of puzzles being too arbitrary.
This drive towards science fiction is perhaps the most jarring tonal shift. The original Kona took a surprising supernatural shift, almost spiritual in nature, and although it didn't land with everyone it certainly stuck in the memory. In the sequel, many of the answers come, and have a more grounded answer than some may expect, rather than something to do with the nature of man and revenge. It's something that will certainly divide fans.
