Maintain your overall Condition if you want to survive.

Monitor your Calorie count, Hunger and Thirst, Fatigue, and Body Temperature.

Permadeath! See how long you can survive, check your standing on the global Leaderboards, then head back in and push yourself to survive longer.

No hand holding! The game challenges players to think for themselves by providing the information but never the answers.

All Season One episodes are included in the cost of Early Access.

The game will leave Early Access once Hinterland launches Episode One of the Story Mode. The Early Access version of The Long Dark features the game’s non-narrative Survival Sandbox mode. This isn’t the end of the world, but you can see it from here. Rich episodic fiction featuring dozens of locations, a cast of memorable characters, and a mature post-disaster storyline inspired by the creative risk-taking seen in many of today’s exciting television series. Will you risk your life to discover what they know and selflessly sacrifice for the common good, or live-and potentially die-by the adage, “might makes right”?

Any survivor you meet in the world can be friend or foe.

Morally challenging scenarios that push players to answer the question: “How far will you go to survive?”. Play the story of William Mackenzie as he struggles to survive, crashed in the wilderness in the aftermath of a mysterious geomagnetic disaster.
