As a huge fan of Hinterland Studio’s The Long Dark, I decided to re-enact it in real life. Hopefully, fans of the game will get just where I’m going with this. It’s just a bit of tongue-in-cheek fun.
I’d also like to give a shout out to Accurize2 as any player who can take down a charging moose with one shot from the revolver clearly learned the hard way – via Interloper. He’s also a big fan of Alone, so we’re on the same page on that one.
My current gameplay sees me starting over and over again at Ash Canyon and then trying to craft all the items I need as quickly as possible (moose skin bag, wolfskin jacket, rabbit skin hat and gloves, deer skin pants and boots, survival bow and arrows), usually in Timberwolf Mountain region. And then starting again. I just love the hardcore buzz from trying to survive starting with nothing in Ash Canyon. I hope the developers keep bringing out new regions and items.
The Long Dark is an open world survival game set in the harsh winter conditions of the Canadian wilderness after a post-apocalyptic event. And it’s YOLO.
