Bright lights flare across the night sky. The wind rages outside the thin walls of your wooden cabin. A wolf howls in the distance. You look at the meager supplies in your pack, and wish for the days before the power mysteriously went out. How much longer will you survive?

Welcome to THE LONG DARK, the innovative exploration-survival experience Wired magazine calls "the pinnacle of an entire genre".

THE LONG DARK is a thoughtful, exploration-survival experience that challenges solo players to think for themselves as they explore an expansive frozen wilderness in the aftermath of a geomagnetic disaster. There are no zombies — only you, the cold, and all the threats Mother Nature can muster.

In THE LONG DARK, you are getting both the genre-defining Survival Mode, honed after years of open development and frequent updates, and the award-winning episodic narrative mode, WINTERMUTE.

    The game was an Epic freebie in 2020.

    PUNISHING game. But 10/10 if you like that sort of thing.
    Has DLC not included in the $5 version, but 99% of people aren't going to make it through the base game anyway, so I wouldn't worry about it.
    The art style, the changing weather systems, the sound effects, this game has made me feel cold in the middle of 40 degree summers.
    I can't recommend it enough if you hate yourself lol

    Actually, there is an easy mode, so you could just do that and enjoy the sights, you still might die and lose your save though.

      When the game originally came out, it was "all in one" (survival mode + story). That version can still be bought, and that's actually what's on sale for $5 (down from $50).

      Buy The Long Dark - This edition of the game includes both Survival Mode & the WINTERMUTE Story Mode.

      At some point they spun off The Long Dark: Survival Mode. That's also on sale for $15, down from $30. (So it's normally cheaper, but currently isn't.) If you have this version of the game and want to play the Wintermute story (which they still haven't finished BTW), then you can get it as a DLC addon.

      And then there is an "actual" DLC available - The Long Dark: Tales from the Far Territory

    Don’t give money to people who hate you.

      What the hell did hinterland do? I can't find anything on google…

        I think it may be a joke about how the game can be so challenging that it harms the player

    Great game, really deep skills and crafting system, and a cold unforgiving environment. It's taken over 1500 hours off me, and is a bargain at this price.

      Same. Loved this game, and I think it's one of the few epic freebies I've actually played. I never played it on interloper, or even the second highest difficulty, but that's because I'm weak. Got about 500 hours in it.
