Dear cave inhabitants,
The maintenance update that was previously accessible only via the beta branch is now available to all players. It mainly consists of small bug fixes accumulated over the last few years. We have also improved the anti-cheat system and removed the online-only constraint. The game can now be played offline on desktop, just like on all other devices (The Longing has been available on mobile and console for some time).
Thank you for your help with testing!

P.S. The original Shade plushie will have a re-run next month.
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.
