The game to come is about the adventures of a bush pilot named Will Mackenzie surviving in the brutal Canadian winter.
The premise of the game is that a geomagnetic phenomenon has essentially acted like an EMP on a global level and permanently disabled all electronics. Thus, The Long Dark was born, and it doesn’t feature much in the way of evil animals or mutated zombie hordes. Hinterland studios is a new, independent game developer based in Canada, so it should come as no surprise that whey they decided to make a game about surviving in a harsh climate, they didn’t look much further than their own backyard in the winter.
