The Long Dark is an immersive survival simulation game for PS4 that challenges players to persevere in the cold and harsh wilderness after a geomagnetic disaster. Released by Hinterland Studio in 2017, the game stands out with its focus on realism and player choice. It features an episodic story mode, 'Wintermute,' and an open-world survival mode where the player must manage hunger, fatigue, wildlife, and temperature. The art style is distinctive, offering a painterly aesthetic that captures the bleakness and beauty of the game's setting.
