Kona II: Brume is the follow-up to 2017's Kona from Parabole / Ravenscourt bringing another cold and mysterious adventure to walk through.
"Northern Québec, 1970. A bizarre mist - the Brume - is disconnecting a rural mining village from its quiet reality and disrupting the balance of nature. But where is it coming from? Step back into the role of Detective Carl Faubert and dive deeper into the surreal mysteries of Kona. Make your trek through the snowy landscapes of Northern Canada and discover that you are not entirely alone. Find other stranded people - both victims and survivors of a devastating avalanche - and uncover the hidden dark truth of the Brume."
Just recently the developers announced a new updated demo, which has Native Linux support and they're ensuring it runs well on both desktop and Steam Deck directly. The full release will also be coming with full Linux support, so it's another to keep an eye on. Check out the trailer below from the recent announcement:

They had a skidoo in the first game.
I'll be watching for this one (I probably won't try the demo, those often end up turning me off more than on)
I'm looking at the first game, I may get that. I wasn't aware of this franchise.

Graphics are a bit blurry (especially at some angles).
UI needs a bit of work too, the only thing the settings sliders respond to are the A and D keys. Mouse doesn't move them.
Other than that, it seems to play alright (I'm using the Linux demo). I haven't finished it, but I'll probably buy this when it comes out.
P.S. I have finished it. I was sorry it ended, I was enjoying it.
This demo is definitely worth a play, even if just to torment yourself with winter misery lol
