Northern Canada in the 1970s was a pretty strange place to be – at least if you believe everything that goes on in Kona that is. Whether you should do that or not though is completely up to you.
You see, Kona is an interactive tale which takes you through the goings on of a small eerie village, one in which you’ll need to investigate some super surreal events, whilst engulfed in an unexpected snowstorm. If the weirdness doesn’t kill you, then chances are the harsh elements will.
Priced at £15.99, it seems rather reasonably priced too – especially if you’re one of those who like to be taken on a little adventure. If you do, then the Xbox Games Store will be able to sort you out. Hit it up.

The player incarnates detective Faubert, who must shed light on the mysterious events befalling the area.
I played this when it first released on PC…there’s very little “interactive” about Kona. It’s more of a walking simulator, like Dear Esther.
