If you want a specified goal where failing means you need to start over and will give you an extra challenge, there are seven Challenges for you to choose from. This extends to weapon handling, harvesting carcasses, fishing, other crafting, and repairing. Normally, you just have the base stats, but as you do more your characters skill at say making a fire will make it easier to start one during late-game and make it last longer. Survival also has a skill system for the repeatable actions you can do. Survival has permadeath, so if you die for any reason you won’t be able to reload your save back up.
Luckily, you will find medical supplies, bandages are easy to make, and you can use a natural remedy. Injuries aren’t equal, so a sprain will just limit what you can do rather than constantly draining your health like food poisoning or bleeding. On that note, if you do become injured, you’ll need to treat it. Some not so much, but trust me it adds up quick and being over-encumbered will make you walk slower, not able to run, and at risk at spraining something. Also, it’s best to always manage your inventory as the vast majority of things you find weighs you down. Tasked with just staying alive, and any goals you set out for yourself to accomplish, you’ll be able to travel anywhere and explore and building you come across to gather supplies, huddle for warmth, hope for a place to make a fire to cook/heat up food and melt snow, or just to take shelter so you’re safe if any weather or predators comes knocking. Once you get into it, you’ll be all alone. Or you can even play a custom game to tweak almost everything or put in a custom code someone shared online.
The difficulty you’ll have will depend which Experience you choose out of four which will mess with spawns, resources, how hostile the world will be, the possible time/area you’ll start at, how fast item conditions decay, and how long it takes for your condition to regenerate. This will basically set you somewhere in the world (you can choose which region if you want) with some supplies. The main selling point to The Long Dark is its survival mode. For this, I’ll first go through survival as it will be during sandbox before going into story mode. So what else than to start off spooky October by the fear of being all alone in the wilderness during winter with barely any hope of surviving and returning to see what the game now has to offer. I eventually stopped, of course, though that was before character models were put in and before the story mode. To be honest, I played The Long Dark over four years ago and was actually one of my first five purchases.
