Can I Run Kona?
Parabole released Kona in 2023. It is an adventure indie game, published by Ravenscourt. It offers a single player campaign. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. It is localised into 10 languages according to the store listing. With only 419 reviews on Steam, there is little community data on how it behaves across hardware. There are 39 achievements to chase. It is not Windows only, with Linux covered too. Cloud saves are enabled.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a mystery to unpick, moving through spaces built for exploration. Play is presented from a first person view. The publisher supplies 6 storefront screenshots of these environments. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and Kona can never assume the player will stop and let it load.
Why Kona is demanding
Kona sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting GeForce RTX 3060 | Radeon RX 6700XT, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. Windows 11 appears in the requirements, which is worth checking before buying Kona. Kona takes about 35 GB of disk space. At 12 GB, system memory is undemanding. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Kona scales hard with the hardware you give it.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Kona?
Older hardware holds up here: Kona runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA Geforce GTX 760 / 965M | AMD Radeon HD 7850 with 2gb of VRAM enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 1x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.56x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.25x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against Kona's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
