I have found quite a few bodies lying around, but whether or not those people starved to death, died of exposure or were killed in the natural disaster, I don’t know. The game will apparently feature (and further explain) a natural disaster that has to do with the shifting of the magnetic poles. Well, there wasn’t much here other than this wrecked boxcar, but with a fire it can work for one night, unless there is a blizzard.Īt least in the sandbox demo, there are no other people. It also factors in the wind, so if you are decked out in something like fleece, you might be good if it’s calm and cold, but will be in trouble if the gale force winds start blowing. The game takes into account the type of clothing you are able to find and uses that as a sort of armor against the cold temperatures. I’ve played where there was a stretch of good weather that lasted for a couple days and I’ve played where blizzards ravaged the landscape. Weather patterns are randomly generated each game, but the land is always covered with snow. Your biggest enemy is likely going to be the cold. But don’t worry, there are plenty of things out there in the real world to kill you. It’s really one man or woman against nature.
There are no zombies in the game or aliens or monsters – though the magnetic disaster has apparently made the wolves extremely aggressive. The fact that this is a perma-death type of game also makes the struggle for survival even more intense. The fact that game is in first person really gives it that “What would I do in the same situation?” type of feel that I’ve not experienced in this type of quasi-realistic simulation before. That may not sound like much, but it was more than enough to keep me entertained for many hours. The game will eventually feature an episodic story mode the focuses on a crashed bush pilot, but for now, there is only a sandbox mode and two maps to explore. The Long Dark is a survival adventure that challenges single players to try and live for as long as possible in the Canadian highlands following a worldwide extinction event that killed off most other humans. I wonder if following these train tracks will lead me somewhere. That’s probably why over 200,000 people have already started playing the game and why we would highly recommend you check it out if you haven’t already. In this case, I think the investment is well worth it as The Long Dark already offers a unique and compelling experience. That means that anyone can pick up the game, currently for $20, even though it’s not in a finished state to support the further development of the project. Normally we don’t review games that are still in an Alpha state, but The Long Dark is available for purchase right now as part of the Steam Early Access program.
