About The Long Dark
The Long Dark is a thoughtful, immersive survival experience set in the frozen wilderness of post-apocalyptic Canada. After a mysterious geomagnetic disaster, modern technology fails and nature reclaims control. As a lone survivor, you must scavenge, craft, and navigate the deadly elements while managing hunger, fatigue, cold, and wildlife threats.

With a haunting atmosphere and no zombies or monsters—just you, the environment, and your own decisions—The Long Dark stands apart as a pure survival experience, combining a gripping narrative in WINTERMUTE Story Mode and the unforgiving freedom of Survival Mode.
