Guidelines for user-generated fan content for non-commercial use are outlined below.
We also know many of our fans like to create trailers, short films, stories, art, and other work inspired by Hinterland Studio and The Long Dark. For these fan creations, we ask that creators clearly label their work as “fan-inspired” in the title and if applicable, in the video itself. This makes it easier for us to share all the compelling fan creations that emerge from our growing community.
