The Long Dark is an upcoming first-person, open-world, survival game being developed by the Canadian studio Hinterland Games for Windows, Linux, OS X, and Xbox One.

== Story ==
Play the story of William Mackenzie as he struggles to survive, crashed in the wilderness in the aftermath of a mysterious geomagnetic disaster. 
Morally challenging scenarios that push players to answer the question: “How far will you go to survive?”. Any survivor you meet in the world can be friend or foe. Will you risk your life to discover what they know and selflessly sacrifice for the common good, or live—and potentially die—by the adage, “might makes right”?The Long Dark on Hinterland Games, retrieved 12 December 2015
Rich episodic fiction featuring dozens of locations, a cast of memorable characters, and a mature post-disaster storyline inspired by the creative risk-taking seen in many of today’s exciting television series. This isn’t the end of the world, but you can see it from here.
