The first part of Season One of The Long Dark’s Story Mode is currently in development while the Sandbox Mode is currently playable and regularly updated. Early reviews of the alpha release were generally positive, and the game went on to sell around 750,000 copies by April 2016. The alpha version was later launched on the Xbox One on Jas one of the first two launch titles associated with Microsoft’s Game Preview Program. Development efforts are ongoing with regular updates. An alpha version was released through Steam Early Access on September 22, 2014. The game received seed financing from the Canada Media Fund, and further funding was secured through a successful Kickstarter campaign in October 2013.


The player assumes the role of a crash-landed bush pilot who must survive the frigid Canadian wilderness after a global disaster. The Long Dark is a first-person open world survival simulation video game in development by Canadian company Hinterland for multiple platforms.
