I was safe or so i thought my arm had been ripped open by the wolf and there was now a risk of infection. I heaved the wolf off my and burst inside the barn which consisted of waiting at a loading screen. I was now face to face with a wolf caught in a life or death struggle.

My heart now set on survival i began to shamble towards the barn safety within reach,when i heard the howl. I almost decided to just give myself over to the elements but low and behold I caught sight of the barn only a hundred feet away. I began to run in the direction of the barn i had set out from throwing all caution to the wind which was now giving me windchill. My breathing became more rasp and hoarse and i learned i now had hypothermia. If I was paying more attention i would have noticed I was on the cusp of a blizzard yet I didn't so i played the price in blood. The wind was picking up and snow was falling more heavily and steadily. While I was so excited about long term survival I began to forget about short about short term survival. So i set out into the wild ready for anything, or so i thought. I have no way to hunt but i have a hunting to harvest already dead carcasses. I am stocked up on food and supplies in a barn and i am ready to find a more long term sustainable home. Here is a recount of one of my personal experiences.

No matter your skill level i have often thought i was safe only to find how neck deep in peril i actually was. YOU HAVE FADED INTO THE LONG DARK is a phrase you will see or hear often. Chances are you will succumb to the cold, be mauled by the wolf or manage to stumble back to your base and die of hypothermia as you attempt to light a fire. You may decide to look for a new home but as soon as are just of sight of your old safe house the wind picks up snow starts falling in droves and you hear the heart piercing howl of a wolf not far from your current position. The game is unforgiving and surviving for more than a couple of hours when starting a game is challenging no matter what difficulty you are playing on.IN THE LONG DARK you will soon know how cruel mother nature can be. I was always wary of wildlife knowing the sound of a wolf howl could save your life(I learned this the hard way). As I previously stated, thinking was an important aspect of the game determining whether or not you died or survived. The graphics were in a unique style that i had never seen before. I had to use my mind while playing so that to me offered something that is not all that common now.
