Release Info:

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.

STORY MODE

The episodic story-mode for The Long Dark, WINTERMUTE, includes four of the
five episodes that form WINTERMUTE. Episodes 1+2 were given a complete
overhaul in December 2018, as part of the Redux Update: new mission
structure, story beats, dialogue, animations etc.

EPISODE ONE - "DO NOT GO GENTLE"

Bush pilot Will Mackenzie (player character) and Dr. Astrid Greenwood are
separated after their plane crashes deep in the Northern Canadian
wilderness in the aftermath of a mysterious flash of light in the sky.
Struggling to survive as he desperately searches for Astrid, Mackenzie
comes across the small town of Milton, where he begins to understand the
scope of this quiet apocalypse.

EPISODE TWO - "LUMINACE FUGUE"

Mackenzie's search for Astrid takes him deeper into the savage Winter
wilderness. A mysterious trapper may be the key to finding Astrid, but can
he be trusted?

EPISODE THREE - "CROSSROADS ELEGY"

In the aftermath of events in Milton, an enigmatic stranger rescues Dr.
Astrid Greenwood (player character) from near death. Facing the blizzards
of Pleasant Valley, Astrid must bring all her skills as a doctor to bear on
the survivors she encounters. But will she find Mackenzie, and get closer
to the mystery that's taking them to Perseverance Mills?

EPISODE FOUR - "FURY, THEN SILENCE"

A murderous gang of convicts has captured Mackenzie. Desperate to escape
one of the darkest corners of Great Bear Island, he must somehow survive
his fiercest enemy yet. Can Mackenzie recover the Hardcase, continue his
search for Astrid, and also save the innocents caught up in this deadly
confrontation?

The first four episodes of WINTERMUTE represent approximately 30 hours of
gameplay. Episode Five is included in the price of the game, and will be
unlocked for free as they are released.

SURVIVAL MODE

Survival Mode is the free-form, non-narrative survival sandbox that has
been honed over nearly three years in Early Access.

Survival is your only goal, and death your only end. Make your own survival
story with every game.

NO HAND HOLDING

The game challenges players to think for themselves by providing the
information but never the answers. You have to earn the right to survive.

PERMADEATH

When you die in Survival Mode, your save is deleted. Every decision
matters. [Note that WINTERMUTE does not feature permadeath.

CHOOSE YOUR EXPERIENCE

Four distinct Experience Modes let you find a challenge level you are
comfortable with, such as Pilgrim Mode, which is meant to be quiet and
pensive, all the way to Interloper Mode, where only the most experienced
survivors have a chance to last a week. If none of the four Experiences
suits you, use Custom Mode settings to tailor your Survival Mode game to
your specific tastes.

Features the music of Sascha Dikiciyan.
