Just finished Episode 5 of #TheLongDark. WOW! All I can say is thank you so much @raphlife.bsky.social and @hinterland.bsky.social for the many many hours of entertainment you have given me. #TLD is an absolute masterpiece and I can't wait to see what you guys have in store for the future.

I just finished The Long Dark, Wintermute, Episode 5. Sensational finish to a long tale (no spoilers). I recommend the whole game; Wintermute, Survival mode, and Tales From The Far Territory.

I just finished Wintermute Ep. 5 for #thelongdark. I'm still reeling from the incredible story telling and emotional rollercoaster it put me on. I have only ever cried for one other game, which was TLoS Part 2. I can't wait to see what comes next. @hinterland.bsky.social @raphlife.bsky.social

How The Long Dark kept surviving the Canadian wild popular for over a decade Vancouver's Hinterland on making the last major story episode and its first-ever sequel, all while staying true to its Canadian identity.

Great chatting with @raphlife.bsky.social from Vancouver's @hinterland.bsky.social about The Long Dark's amazing 10+ year journey.
He discussed how they've maintained the game's popularity, the just-launched Episode 5 and shifting to the sequel, all while staying true to their Canadian identity. 🇨🇦 🎮
