If anyone wants to play with this stuff, there’s a survival _game_ by @hinterland.bsky.social called “The Long Dark” set in northern Canada it drops you into the woods in basically decent light winter street clothes.

If you’re unlucky & it starts you at night, you’re unlikely to make it to morning.

If you already own it, this is also a great time to buy a copy for a friend!

Remember, if you own THE LONG DARK, you already own WINTERMUTE. If you bought SURVIVAL MODE, you can get WINTERMUTE as DLC. Episodes 1-4 are already waiting for you.

Today you'll find THE LONG DARK, SURVIVAL MODE, WINTERMUTE, and TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY in the Steam Winter Sale, with some of the deepest discounts so far.

This is a great time to grab a copy of the TALES DLC, or pick up THE LONG DARK, before Episode Five ships in March!

IMPORTANT:

We're aware that some players on PS4 or PS5 are experiencing the loss of profile data, since the v 2.50 release.

The team is currently working on a fix, which we will release as soon as the work is complete and has been validated.

Thank you for your patience.

sure looks pretty for a game that's 9ish years old. yet another W for games that use strong art direction over chasing "realism" @hinterland.bsky.social

Need help with interloper? Check out my latest behemoth of a video, outlining all you need to know from spawn to first hunt. Done on vanilla TLD, though I highly recommend the Tales DLC if you don't have it.
