How far will you go to survive? Players can find out in the new game “The Long Dark,” Hinterland Games’ latest title that tests whether participants can survive in post-apocalyptic Canada.
“Imagine the lights go out, never to return. Bright aurora flare across the sky, and all humanity’s technological might is laid to waste, neutralized in a kind of quiet apocalypse. Everything that has shielded humanity from the disinterested power of Mother Nature is suddenly wrenched from us, dropping us a few links down the food chain. Food and water are scarce. The roads are no longer safe. And winter approaches… Welcome to The Long Dark – an immersive survival simulation set in the aftermath of a geomagnetic disaster. Experience a unique first-person survival simulation that will force you to think and push you to your limits with its thought-provoking gameplay and mature storytelling” (The Long Dark).
“It’s a fairly deep simulation,” explains Raphael van Lierop, Hinterland’s founder and creative director, to CBC News. “You’re tracking your calories and you’re worried about body temperature, when you’re going to eat and when you need to drink water.”
“The Long Dark” launched on September 22nd.
