Included with both THE LONG DARK: SURVIVAL EDITION and THE LONG DARK, Survival Mode is the free-form, non-narrative sandbox that has defined the genre since its launch on Steam in 2014. After years of open development and numerous major updates, THE LONG DARK stands at the pinnacle of survival games. In this mode, your only goal is survival, and your only end is death. Each game becomes your own unique survival story. The game that redefined survival by making every decision count. In Survival Mode, death means your save is deleted, adding weight to every choice you make. Survival Mode challenges players to think independently, providing information but never answers. Survival must be earned. You must carefully monitor your Hunger, Thirst, Fatigue, and Cold, balancing resources and the energy required to obtain them. Every action consumes Calories, and time is your most valuable resource. Choose your actions wisely. Survival Mode includes over 100 gear items, such as Tools, Light Sources, Weapons, First Aid supplies, and Clothing. Explore a vast 50+ square kilometer Northern Canadian wilderness, spanning 12 major regions and the zones that connect them, all in search of life-saving supplies. Traverse distant mountains, coastal towns, mines, farmlands, and a brutal winter wilderness that tests your survival skills. Engage in activities like hunting, fishing, trapping, climbing, and mapping to find food and gear while avoiding hostile wildlife and battling the elements. Face threats like Wolves, Bears, Moose, and more. Protect yourself from hypothermia, frostbite, dysentery, and other afflictions, while maintaining your essential gear. Survival Mode offers four distinct Experience Modes to match your desired challenge level, from the serene Pilgrim Mode to the intense Interloper Mode, where only the most seasoned survivors can last a week. For a personalized experience, use Custom Mode settings to tailor the game to your preferences.
