What we love

1. Hunt and be hunted by: Wolves, Bears, Moose, Rabbits, Deers, Crows, and more to come in future updates.CHOOSE YOUR EXPERIENCEFour distinct Experience Modes let you find a challenge level you are comfortable with, such as Pilgrim Mode, which is meant to be quiet and pensive, all the way to Interloper Mode, where only the most experienced survivors have a chance to last a week.

2. provide just enough randomness to keep things challenging.SURVIVAL OF THE FITTESTHunt, fish, trap, climb, map, search for life-saving food and gear items, and try to avoid dying from the hostile wildlife, succumbing to hypothermia, frostbite, or dysentery (amongst other uncomfortable afflictions), find and maintain your life-saving gear.

3. Keep in mind that your purchase of The Long Dark entitles you to all five episodes of WINTERMUTE, as well as updates to Survival Mode along the way.

4. In addition to releasing the remaining three episodes of WINTERMUTE, we intend to continue updating Survival Mode, as we have done with about 100 updates/hotfixes over the past three years of Early Access.

5. Choose your path carefully.SCOUR THE WORLD FOR SUPPLIESOver 100 gear items including Tools, Light Sources, Weapons, First Aid supplies, Clothing, and more.A VAST LIVING WORLDExplore a 50 square kilometre Northern Canadian wilderness in search of precious supplies.

6. Struggling to survive as he desperately searches for Astrid, Mackenzie comes across the small town of Milton, where he begins to understand the scope of this quiet apocalypse.EPISODE TWO - “Luminance Fugue”Mackenzie’s search for Astrid takes him deeper into the savage Winter wilderness.

7. Survival Mode is the free-form, non-narrative survival sandbox that has been honed over nearly three years in Early Access.

8. If none of the four Experiences suits you, use Custom Mode settings to tailor your Survival Mode game to your specific tastes.

9. Both episodes were given a complete overhaul in December 2018, as part of the Redux Update: new mission structure, story beats, dialogue, animations etc.EPISODE ONE - “Do Not Go Gentle”Bush pilot Will Mackenzie (player character) and Dr.
