Northern Québec, 1970. A bizarre mist —the Brume— is disconnecting a rural mining village from its quiet reality. Step into the shoes of Detective Carl Faubert as he unfolds the mysteries haunting the region while battling for his own survival.
Without being perfect, this game is a good recommendation for people who like mysterious stories where exploration is at the heart of its point-and-click mechanics. The atmosphere is strange, without being a horror game. It's just well balanced.
I think that Kona II: The Brume is a title that can be of great interest to survival horror fans in general and in particular to players who have enjoyed the first installment. I think that the Canadians of Parabole managed to improve what they already did in the first installment, but they stopped too long to expand the fights that were not the core...
‘Kona II Brume’ is a good continuation of the story set up in the first game, however, it doesn’t really bring anything different to the table. Yes, it’s a fun mystery adventure wrapped into a light survival game, but besides that, it doesn’t have much else to add to it that’s new.
Returning to the icy world of Quebec and reconnecting with private detective Carl Faubert felt like rediscovering a long-lost memory.
Kona II: Brume showcases Parable's growth, adding action and survival horror elements to the walking simulator genre. However, some underdeveloped aspects prevent it from making the leap it deserves. The final result is an intriguing, well-told story with some evident gameplay limits.
