If you're not familiar, The Long Dark is a first person survival game where you compete against the environment to survive! This is the ultimate survival indie game.
Having recently received rave reviews from Rock Paper Shotgun (viewable at https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2017/01/09/the-long-dark-sandbox-review/), I decided to finally start my The Long Dark Gameplay Guide.
Today, we explore the basics of getting started in The Long Dark, and take a peak around Mystery Lake. This video series will be a bunch of 20-30 minute episodes that include multiple How To's in each video. If you're just trying to figure the game out, this is the series for you! We start on Pilgrim difficulty with an abundance of resources and a bunch of exploration left to do!
