I find this game pretty intriguing. Has anybody played it, yet? Does it live up to the expectations so far?

If you like to see it on GOG, please give it a vote or even post at the developer's forum.

DeMignon: I find this game pretty intriguing.
I've had my eye on this one since I saw it in a print magazine. I'm unfamiliar with early access - how far off from actual release are games when they're in this stage? Also, Hinterland Games? I actually own a neat little game called Hinterland, that I'm fairly sure was made by a Hinterland Games - same company? Neat, I didn't know that.

Also, there was another thread about the game recently. I thought it was on its way to GoG, but I could be wrong. And disappointed, if it ends up not coming here; but I'd hope it would.

It depends, it could be months or even years, it's up to developer dedication and budget. From the gamers perspective the EA should be seen as helping the developers make the game through budget and alpha/beta testing.

I would say that is better to wait for the final release, you never know if the developers will abandon the game and judging by the popularity of the game the developers don't need too much help to fund the game. Besides, in the EA stage you have the risk of losing your saves with the updates...

b3nderz has been playing it. Here is the review he posted at Steam:
Well, my first thought is that game looks VERY good ! If you like survival/looting games of course, cause this kind of games is special. I'm a DayZ fan, I enjoyed Rust, and The Long Dark looks very interesting. For the moment PVP isn't here, but it's not a bad thing. Because PVE was the thing I was looking for with that game : keep an eye on the temperature, be careful with wolves or any danger present in the world, find some wood to make fire to cook meat and make wolves afraid. And graphics are so great, I like the design so much!

Thanks genkicolleen, just what I've feared, it DOES sound great! Oh my, it can take ages to get out of Alpha phase and there's no chance to get it on GOG before, if at all.

The Long Dark... I was waiting for that game and yeah, it's awesome to play it ! Survival games are often interesting, and this one is also challenging regarding to PVE. The game can be a masterpiece of the genre.

Note that you need Steam for download and install it, but the actual early access version can be run outside of Steam.
