HESITANT PROSPECT Update Now Live

The Long Darks Survival Mode has just been updated to a new version, HESITANT PROSPECT. NEW REGION: ASH CANYON Far on the other side of Timberwolf Mountain is a difficult-to-reach area defined by steep cavernous walls and burned-out forests. If you can navigate your way through the treacherous landscape, you might find an abandoned mine that hides treasures worth more than gold to any survivor. Just be careful when crossing the harrowing rope-bridges. Its a long way down! NEW GEAR ITEMS CRAMPONS, left behind by an intrepid climber who ran out of luck. Wearing these helps prevent sprains, and makes it easier to travel over Weak Ice. A TECHNICAL PACK adds a permanent capacity buff to your Survivors inventory, giving you a little more breathing room as you carry your life-saving supplies around on your back. NEW CHALLENGE: DARKWALKER + FEAT HESITANT PROSPECT also presents an updated version of the popular ESCAPE THE DARKWALKER Halloween event we launched this year. You are being hunted by a malevolent invisible force. Use special paint Glyphs to buy yourself time to escape. Time spent in each region counts down towards toxic green fog appearing which will slowly suffocate you. You must BANISH the Darkwalker before you run out of time! Completing the Darkwalker Challenge unlocks a new Darkwalker Feat, which, when enabled in Survival Mode, gives you a stamina boost at night, while draining stamina during the day. NEW CUSTOM MODE SETTING: ENDLESS NIGHT You can now set up your custom Survival games so that day never comes... QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS Weve made some quality of life improvements to the games Front End, including the Region Selection menu. Youll also notice that weve updated the games Main Menu in honour of HESITANT PROSPECT, and moving forward every major update to the game will come with a new Main Menu that reflects the latest new content.
