These thoughts also provide feedback while you wander the world. Not only does this help you solve the various challenges and puzzles you face, but also gives context to the 1970 setting. Your hero’s internal musings change with the situation, giving everything flavor. Throughout these opening scenes, one stand out element of Kona is Carl’s constant inner monologue. Moving through the white landscape Carl must survive the harsh conditions, uncover the events that surrounded the town and its people, and avoid whatever hunted them.

Leaving behind the warmth of civilization, you quickly come upon a dead-end where the road has collapsed into Atamipek Lake. It is a simple task, but it perfectly establishes the Kona's first-person adventure mechanics. You must find and start the generator, directing power to the right areas – in this case the pumps - to complete your tasks and continue on. None the less, you have to fill up your pickup’s tank with gas, so you begin to explore the station.
