This is the trailer for the upcoming story mode.


The Long Dark is a survival game produced by Hinterlands Studios. The game is an early an access game, though the story mode should be available to play this spring!

The storyline is the plane you were in was brought down by a mysterious geomagnetic storm (which wiped out the population) in the Canadian wilderness. Your objective is to simply survive the harsh Canadian winter for as long as you can by staying warm, finding food, repairing tools and clothes, etc. You also have to be mindful of wolves and bears, as they will attack, and possibly even kill you, if you cross their path.

I've been playing this game for a few months now, and I love it! I've found myself spending a good hour or two playing this game. There's just something calming about being alone in a frozen tundra trying to survive. lol Unlike a lot of other games, a lot of them are about shooting and killing people, which I'm not into. The Long Dark also has a unique art style that reminds me of a water color painting, which only adds to the calming factor.

Here are some screenshots:

This, along with the other screenshots, were all taken from the Coastal Highway map. (there are for other maps)

I was attempting to showcase the art style here. lol

Gameplay (not mine):



If you have any questions on how to play the game, feel free to ask me! I'm not an expert, but I'm not a newbie to the game either.

I love this game. It is a very beautifully made game. I would go as far as to say that this is the best Single player survival game out there.

Indeed! The graphics in the game are beautifully made! I just wish I could use the highest settings to get the best experience, however I don't have a beefy enough computer (I use a MacBook pro 13') that will allow me to do so. XD I do have a Windows laptop, but it's a older machine that can't even run Minecraft without lagging. Maybe one of these days I'll have a nice computer. lol I'm not a gamer, but I would love to have a computer that would stay up with the times longer.
