The Long Night is a text-based adventure game where you have to survive in a chilly, post-apocalyptic world.
You find yourself next to a flickering fire in a gloomy room. Your tasks include maintaining the fire, greeting travelers, constructing shelters, setting traps, creating tools and weapons, exploring the frostbitten wilderness for resources, and gradually revealing the dark mysteries of this world.
Behind its straightforward interface lies intricate gameplay: managing resources, navigating a vast procedurally generated map, encountering numerous random events, battling creatures, bandits, and soldiers, mastering an extensive crafting system, and embarking on a long quest to achieve your ultimate aim — to build a spaceship and escape into space.
Features:
• An engaging story with twists and turns that will keep you hooked for hours
• Available in 27 languages with voiced events
• No spoon-feeding — uncover every game mechanic on your own.
How to play
Use your mouse or these keys: F to keep the fire going, G to collect wood, T to check traps, E to set sail, and arrows/WASD to move around the map. In battle, use 1–9 to attack with weapons, E to eat meat, H for medicine, and K to raise your shield. You can turn off the hotkey hints in the menu.
Beginner's guide:
1. Ignite the fire and make sure to add wood so it doesn't go out.
2. When you see someone unfamiliar, gather wood in the forest, set traps and build shelters.
3. As wanderers approach, construct a tannery, smokehouse, smithy, and workshop to make equipment.
4. Go outside and find the compass to reveal the world map.
5. Before each trip, stock up on water, dried meat, torches, and weapons. Keep an eye on your hunger, thirst, and health levels.
6. Search ruins, caves, cities, and the ship. Collect supplies, upgrade your gear, and get ready for the final journey.
