THE LONG DARK

Welcome to the Quiet Apocalypse

Bright lights flare across the night sky. The wind rages outside the thin walls of your wooden cabin. A wolf howls in the distance. You look at the meager supplies in your pack, and wish for the days before the power mysteriously went out. How much longer will you survive?

THE LONG DARK 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 -- only you, the cold, and all the threats Mother Nature can muster.

In THE LONG DARK, you are getting both the genre-defining SURVIVAL MODE, honed after years of open development and frequent updates, and the award-winning episodic narrative mode, WINTERMUTE.

SURVIVAL MODE is the free-form, non-narrative Survival Sandbox that has defined the genre since launching on Steam in 2014. After years of open development and dozens of major updates, THE LONG DARK now stands at the pinnacle of survival games. A non-narrative open-world that supports 1000s of hours of gameplay, survival is your only goal, and death your only end.

WINTERMUTE is the episodic story-driven mode, adding a thoughtful narrative-driven experience that explores the history and current mysteries of Great Bear Island, as survivors there come to terms with the Quiet Apocalypse. Play as bush pilot Will Mackenzie and Dr. Astrid Greenwood as they race to save a remote community from the ravages of a mysterious illness and the deadly wilderness, in a world where technology has gone dark, possibly for good.
