Just finished @thelongdark.bsky.social Ep 5, and I'm gonna say it. It was everything I've been waiting 13 years for. Such a beautiful and tragic conclusion.
@raphlife.bsky.social did an amazing job with the ending, the entire cast outdid themselves. It's a surreal feeling to finally be at the end.
PSA: The official Hinterland forums will be down for maintenance at 1:30PM Pacific time. Expected downtime is about 10 minutes.
Just a quick update to let you know that Hotfix #1 is now available on the following platforms:
> Steam
> Xbox One & Series X/S
> PlayStation 4 & 5
> EGS
> GoG
🚨PSA🚨
THE LONG DARK: Episode Five has just been Hotfixed on Steam, with over 300 fixes including many of the most common issues encountered by players since last week's launch.
Xbox and PlayStation fixes will arrive ASAP.

I just finished @thelongdark.bsky.social’s story mode, Wintermute, a journey I started nine years ago. What a beautiful, challenging ending for a beautiful, challenging game. Thank you, @hinterland.bsky.social. I can’t wait for @blackfrostgame.bsky.social.
Thank you so much for these kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the experience.
Aşığım sana.

@thelongdark.bsky.social is such a quintessentially Canadian success story. Hinterland admirably committed to focusing on Canada instead of something more "marketable" like Alaska. It's a testament to how telling Canadian stories doesn't mean "less popular" -- it can create a wholly unique identity!
I really love this quote from @raphlife.bsky.social about supporting Canadian creators.
It's something I've long felt we collectively need to do better, *especially* in games media. Many people here say they want this but don't actually walk the walk.
Support games like @thelongdark.bsky.social!
Episode Five, Post-Launch Update, with info on incoming bug fixes and, as Terry would say, "other stuff".

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. 🇨🇦 🎮
Thanks! Please report any issues to our Support Portal: hinterland.com/support
That way our Test team can take a look.
