#WHERE DO I GET THE GAME SURVIVE THE NIGHTS GENERATOR#

Not being able to build fires indoors makes sense in small cabins and the like, but when I had to leave the cover of a large, high-ceilinged generator room in the hydroelectric dam to light one and warm up, the illusion was shattered. You won't be constantly attacked by wolves as you explore, which would have ruined that carefully crafted atmosphere. From what I've played, animal attacks in The Long Dark are, thankfully, incredibly rare. But my empty belly means I can't work up the strength, and the beast mauls me to death. It leaps at me and the game instructs me to hammer the left mouse button to build up my strength, then press the right to strike. I've seen a few in the distance before, and managed to avoid them, but this one catches me unaware as I'm busy scavenging meat from a dead animal. The environment is always eager to tell stories, and I get a distinct sense that something has gone horribly wrong with the world. I explore some more, stumbling upon a derailed train whose payload of logs has spilled over. The blizzard is gone by morning, and I emerge once again into the wilderness. I place my bedroll next to the fire and sleep through the night. An evocative marriage of image, sound, and circumstance that immediately sells the game to me. It's a perfect, and totally unscripted, little moment. The light from the fire dances around the shelter-the dynamic lighting effects, incidentally, are really impressive-and an impenetrable wall of snow surrounds me on all sides. Occasionally I hear the howl of a wolf, which sounds too close for comfort.

Nearby is the frozen corpse of some unfortunate soul who succumbed to the wilderness before me. As the fire crackles I hear the wind roar.

It's warm enough, even though it's full of holes, and I'm well fed, but a blizzard has rolled in, trapping me inside. In my second attempt I find myself crouching by a fire I've built in the broken shell of an old cabin. Let's take a moment to talk about atmosphere, which is something The Long Dark absolutely nails. The wilderness in The Long Dark is not a vast, empty, procedurally generated expanse of countryside: it's been hand-designed, and there are a lot of interesting locations to discover, including an abandoned logging camp and a hydroelectric dam.

You can also find candy bars, soda, and other packaged food in buildings by rifling through drawers and cupboards. One of the easiest ways to do this early in the game is to scavenge venison from deer carcasses and cook it on a fire-but there's always the risk of contracting food poisoning. To keep them topped up you'll have to find food. Everything you do burns calories, and the more physically demanding the task, the more you'll burn.
