Another highlight on a game in development which may turn out to be very good indeed - The Long Dark

The pitch: "The Long Dark is a thoughtful, first-person survival simulation that emphasizes quiet exploration in a stark, yet hauntingly beautiful, post-disaster setting. The breathtakingly picturesque Pacific Northwest frames the backdrop for the drama of The Long Dark."

Apparently it is in the middle of winter and technology is not working any more. The game is an "explorer and survivor simulator". There is no HUD, all feedback comes from your character's voice and behaviour. Your harshest enemies will be the cold and the lack of food, and the main question it asks is "how far would you go to survive".

I would like to see this on GOG. I like the fact that the player is against the environment, the wilderness. And that the existential horror is that of animals, natural predators, preying upon a lone starving individual.

I saw a write up for this game in a print article - loved the sound of it. And you're right it look(s)ed gorgeous to boot. I can't wait for it and I couldn't imagine it not coming here. I'm hoping for a mix of Don't Starve set in a more realistic world.

There was a wonderful little DS game from the early days of that system where two young children are shipwrecked on an island. Out in the Blue? Something like that? I wouldn't mind if this game hits on some of the notes from that one as well.

Is that a pun on "long dark" or something else I didn't spot?

Maybe he's referring to the masturbatory quality of enduring pictures and videos for a game he REALLY wants but can't quite have yet?

I know I will peruse beer magazines and call certain pictures "beer porn" for a similar reason.
