Deal | Atmospheric survival game with over thousand positive reviews drops under $2 on Steam

The Steam Detective Fest is now live, and throughout this limited-time event, the platform is offering heavy discounts on a couple of notable games. Kona happens to be one of them, and throughout this promotional phase, it will be available with a 90% discount.

This discount makes the game drop from $14.99 to $1.49, and it could be worth it for those who are into atmospheric survival games. Released in 2017, it's a first-person adventure game set in a 1970s northern Canadian setting. Its storyline expands as players explore, uncover murders, and encounter mythical creatures in a challenging cold-weather environment.

Per the players who have played it, Kona excels in delivering a chilling, immersive atmosphere. The Canadian wilderness setting blends well with the mystery narrative of the game. Moreover, the survival and horror elements blend well with the investigation-focused foundation.

However, Kona is often criticized for having puzzles that lack intuitive guidance. The combat system can also feel a bit clunky, and the radial menus can become quickly cluttered with items.

Even so, the intriguing nature of the clues and the non-linear exploration make Kona worth trying. On Steam, this detective game has over 1,400 reviews, and among them, 82% are positive. There is full support for controllers as well (ManbaOne curr. $62.99 on Amazon), making it accessible to most.

It's also worth noting that this specific Steam game deal will end when the Detective Fest ends, which is on January 19, 2026. Check out the review video below to learn more about Kona.
