How far will you go to survive?



<span class="bold">The Long Dark</span>, an immersive, existential struggle for post-apocalypric survival, is available now DRM-free on GOG.com with a 33% launch discount.

Darkness. Silence. The sky flares wildly. It's a beautiful, quiet apocalypse as humanity falls to its knees. Technological might laid to waste completely: the lights go out one last time, the electrical hum of machinery replaced by birdsong and... nothing. No energy, no food, no warmth. What does the future hold?

The Long Dark is a first-person survival simulation that'll force you to think, and challenge you in unique ways: a frozen wasteland and the disinterest of Mother Nature may threaten your survival, but it's your own fear, greed, and humanity that'll become your worst enemy.

The Long Dark is all about solo survival in an unforgiving environment, but Hinterland Studio Inc. are also planning a Story mode with a narrative framework for the players' struggles. Until its planned Spring 2016 release, they will also be tweaking the mechanics, items, and overall environment, in order to achieve the perfect balance between punishing realism and a rewarding sense of accomplishment. Hinterland Studio Inc. invite everyone to check out the game's official website and stay up-to-date on all the news from development.



Let yourself weaken and any small threat may lead to your death. You have to earn the right to survive <span class="bold">The Long Dark</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 33% discount will last until February 11, 1:59 PM GMT.

Note: This game is currently in development. See the <span class="bold">FAQ</span> to learn more about games in development, and check out the forums to find more information and to stay in touch with the community.
I like how the top review assumes freezing to death in a snowstorm is tons of fun. The only reason I still have fingers to type this post is that I had a fully charged halogen headlight, which I interchangeably stuck into my gloves for warmth until sunrise.
Anyway, crazy system reqs, can't run.
I came, I saw, I bought.
I'm a simple man, I see an awesome game finally having arrived on GOG, I press "CHECKOUT NOW".

wolfsite: I'll wait for a final product. Early access has just been trashed due to bad developers turning over horrible games for a quick buck, or developers just abandoning projects in progress, or asset flips, or remembering when developers actually paid people to alpha and beta test there games we actually got more stable final products, or overpromising and under producing....... you can tell early access as a concept has just been ruined for me. (nothing against this particular developer it's just that a number of developers have abused the early access concept).
What is the use of generalizing like this? You only prevent yourself from playing good games. Finished games are often a buggy mess as well while indev games can be bugfree, you have to check each game no matter what state it is advertised as.

deesko666: Once again, no Linux while being available on Steam...
As long as there's a Linux version on release, I don't care that much myself.
definitely one I am keeping an eye on... I do like to limit my "Early Access" games, so for now I'll hold off (I've been playing Subnautical... a game I hope comes here to "In development" soon....
Incidentally, if this plays like "Don't Starve, only serious", then it will be a good game indeed.
Bought it not long ago for Steam, I should've waited! I don't really like early access games but this one I have to recommend. Nice addition gog :D
Is it like Miasmata in the snow?

I recommend this game, it's well done so far and it's very enjoyable.
People really need to stop equating "In Development" with "Incomplete". "Complete" in video games is an arbitrary state defined by the developer. The irony of it is, if a developer calls a game "Complete", and then continues to release updates and patches (ie. continued development), the developer gets praised for continuing to support the game. If a developer doesn't ever say, yeah, here it is, it's done, but keeps developing the game while selling it, their jerks for selling an incomplete game to people. It's the same situation, just one of the developers called one of the versions of the game 1.0, the other developer

Yeah, there might be bugs in the In Development games. There might be bugs in the Complete games too.

Tell me about it. I'm having to redownload my GOG library after my external harddrive dedicated to it failed. When I got to SOMA I was gobsmacked. 10.8 GB. p_O
So glad i didn't get it on Steam and now i can get it on GOG, yey! ^.^

Thank you Hinterland Studio & GOG for bringing it here. :)

AH!
So then, someone took your picture at the precise moment this "gran carajo" happened, eh?
Sad... ;(

edit: I was actually reffering to the ram ;P
edit2: yep, 8gb for a game is also a pain!

Perhaps in a technological sense it doesn't mean what it says, since there is indeed usually patching and updating after release. But "complete" to me tells me the game has reached the point where the developers believe it represents their vision of what they want it to be. Ergo, I don't have an interest in playing it until it is in that state. As I said in another post on the whole In-Dev process, some people enjoy participating behind the scenes with the development, and some prefer to wait for the "ready for the world" product.
