First Gameplay Footage Shows ‘The Long Dark’ In Action

Published

Hinterland Studio’s currently hard at work on what they’re calling a survival simulator set during a “quiet apocalypse”. The Long Dark is a true survival game where you can look forward to tracking the calories you’re burning, thirst, hunger, body temperature and more. Unlike a majority of the post-apocalyptic survival games we’re inundated with every year, The Long Dark is beautiful.

It doesn’t rely on a brown and grey color palette to sell the apocalyptic setting, and I’m thankful for that. See it in action after the break.

There’s a little over a week in the game’s Kickstarter campaign, which is still far from its $200,000 goal. Feel free to support it if this is a game you think you could be interested in. I know I am.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
