Kona

Kona drifted into the house in 2018 and the vibe was distinctly different from what we usually stream. Set in snowy Northern Quebec, 1970—you're a private detective trying to solve vandalism, except nothing stays simple. Sunken Lands' mystery game had us for three-point-five hours, but viewers stuck around for nearly 840 hours total. That 263-peak viewer moment captured people wanting something slower, weirder, more atmospheric than the usual action fare. The cold Canadian setting, the mystery unraveling through exploration, the dread creeping in—it all worked. Some games don't need massive viewership to hit the mark. Kona was one of those.
