WhoaThey just updated the kickstarter page with the first screenshots of the game.
Game looks really sharp. I didn't think the style from the concept art would translate this well.
...you are backing a FULL GAME with The Long Dark. We hope to continue expanding on this game with sequels. The episodic nature of the game's narrative refers to story structure, and not necessarily to the amount of content you're getting in the game, which we estimate to be 5-6 hours for single-player "story mode" and dozens of hours for sandbox "survival mode".
Exactly what I thought, almost instinctively backed based just on the creepy atmosphere of that game.Reminds me of Puzzle Quest from a lot of those photos.
The Long Dark in-game footage is up. Never backed anything on Kickstarter but game looks very interesting.

Hinterland said:With Spring finally here, were feeling like coming out from our heavy work and catching our breath. Were feeling like we want to get out there, and feel the sun on our faces, as it were. To that end, we want to share with you, the first exclusive in-game screenshot from The Long Dark. This is the first in-game content we have shown since we finished our Kickstarter last October. We hope you like what you see!
Screenshot or concept art? Looks cozy either way.
And theres plenty more where that came from! Today, we are kicking off the next wave of reveals for the game, and we plan to release more in-game shots this month, as well as a series of gameplay videos in early May, leading up to releasing the first Alpha builds of the Survival Sandbox which we'll be talking about more in the coming weeks!
(Oh hell...you've all waited a while for this. We love you, so you deserve two screenshots!)
Enjoy the sunset 'cause it's about to get really damn cold. You'll make for that Forestry Lookout tower if you know what's good for ya!
Exciting times!
I backed it and it's pretty much what I was looking for in a winter-set singleplayer survival game.Amy impressions? The gaming press seem to be into it, any Gaffers took the plunge and bought Early Access?
The game looks fantastic:

Played a bit of the alpha. Seems fun but think I'll wait for a few more patches, performance seems a bit iffy for now.
Wait it's post-apocalyptic Canada. I was looking forward to the game before but that's just the setting I've been waiting for quite some time now. Can't wait to do all the winter survival things.
I got this and started messing with it. I think it's interesting but I'm still getting my bearings. One time I slept to death, just to see if it could happen, and it does. I'm having trouble finding things to drink that aren't soda, but I've also only played for maybe an hour across a couple of runs (one crashed, I assume that's part of it being early access), so I figure I'll get that sorted out soon enough.
But it's fun so far, I'm enjoying exploring and trying to craft things and see what's what. I am curious to see if the objects respawn later, or if you get them once, that's it. I can't see how you'd survive the 50 days for the final achievement if they don't?
So.. Is this worth playing at this point in time or should I wait? I haven't bought an early access game / alpha state game since the old, old version of Mincraft, so I'm trying to tread carefully here.
