This structure means that, whether you have 20 minutes or 2 hours to play, you can jump in and make meaningful progress towards an in-game goal.
Similar to open-world games like Red Dead Redemption and Fallout 3, The Long Dark offers both a large open-world simulation space that encourages free-form gameplay and a story-driven mission structure that draws players deeper into the fiction of the game world. The Long Dark's episodic structure borrows from TV to deliver a well-paced narrative experience that is advanced by player action in the world.
