Awards & Recognition
- "Listed in Polygon's top 100 games to look forward to in 2015" - January 1st, 2015
Selected Articles
- "Sometimes I try random Steam Early Access games on a whim. Often, it’s a very bad idea. Kona is a big exception to that rule."
- Nathan Grayson, Kotaku - "Few games manage to make their setting a memorable character in and of itself, but Kôna's 1970 Quebec already makes a haunting impression."
- Matt Miller, Gameinformer - "The quietness of the game is so intense, hearing an omniscient narrator speak once you discover a clue half made me jump."
- Christen Bejar, PC Gamer - "Parabole has created a stunning game of duality, effortlessly blending survivalism with detective work and well-researched history with dying folklore."
- Stephen Turner, Destructoid - "It’s tremendous at creating its distinct atmosphere and then drawing you deeper in. It’s witty, spooky, and achieves an ideal sense of urgency. Weird, clamant and intriguing, this is well worth a look."
- John Walker, Rock, Paper, Shotgun
