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.

The only way to sweeten your coffee when you're drinking out of a @hinterland.bsky.social The Long Dark mug is with liquid gold, aka maple syrup (sorry it's not Canadian syrup, @thelongdark.bsky.social )

Amazing fan creations inspired by THE LONG DARK. Such impressive attention to detail, everything made by hand. We have the absolutely best players in the world.
I’m not sure if I’ve shared this on here before. I created this miniature world based on @thelongdark.bsky.social a few years ago for my friend’s birthday. Every tiny piece was handmade from bits and pieces around my desk. Not for sale. @hinterland.bsky.social @raphlife.bsky.social

A fan favourite!
@hinterland.bsky.social @raphlife.bsky.social my coffee mug came in the mail today. No complaints whatsoever. Packaged with care, brings back the TLD vibe right away. 🙂

PSA for TLD players! You might have noticed after this week's Xbox update the planks allowing you to cross the bridge between Broken Railroad Region and the Far Territory appear to be missing! They are, in fact, still there, but invisible. 🫥 The team will hotfix this ASAP, within the next 24 hours.

We’re happy to announce that THE LONG DARK is now officially available on the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles!

If you own the game on Xbox One, you will be automatically upgraded to the Xbox Series version for your Series X or Series S, no purchase required!
