The Long Dark is a first-person survival simulation set in the frozen wilderness of Northern Canada after a geomagnetic disaster cripples modern civilization. As bush pilot Will Mackenzie, you must survive against the cold, hunger, thirst, and wildlife while uncovering the mystery of what happened. With no zombies or monsters—just nature at its most unforgiving—every decision matters. Explore a vast, quiet apocalypse across multiple regions, from abandoned towns to deep forests and frozen coastal regions.
