THE LONGING (tuxdb.com)

A unique idle-adventure game.

You play as the last servant of a king, who once ruled an underground kingdom.
Now his powers have faded and he falls asleep for 400 days to regain his might.
It is your duty to stay in the cave alongside the king until he awakens.

In utter loneliness, miles below the surface,

it is now your task to... wait.

Wait...

For 400 days.

In real-time.

:THE LONGING: is part idle and part adventure game. As soon as you start, the game counts down the 400 days you need to wait - even when you stop playing and exit the game.
It is now up to you to decide what to do with your solitary existence beneath the soil.
Features:

Ultra slow-paced cave exploration
Dungeon Synth music
Various endings
Handcrafted 2D graphics
Solitude

The public library has opened

Book Converter

After the release, we promised to have translations of the books and finally we have found a solution: Players can now upload and download custom books via the Steam Workshop of The Longing.

This doesn't change the number of books in the game, but you can replace the ones you found with different ones, for example translations in your language. Of course there is a limited number of books in the workshop as of now, since it's quite impossible for us to find translations in every language. You can find the instructions of how to up- and download HERE.
We are thankful for every player, who uploads new translations and texts to the public library and helps to spread the beauty of literature.

Small changes

Aside from this, there is some new content and bug fixes in the game with this new update, albeit nothing too special. For example golden coins now show up in the home cave, although they are still rather useless, and the "face" has some new wisdom to share.
