Summary

Welcome to The Long Dark, the innovative exploration-survival experience Wired magazine calls “the pinnacle of an entire genre”. The game 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 but only you, the cold, and all the threats Mother Nature can muster.
