So many times I had nearly pulled the trigger and purchased it only for my better judgement to take hold, take a look at my long list of unplayed games not in 'Early Access,' and take my finger off the mouse button hovering over the Add to Cart button. I remember first finding out about it in early access long before its initial full release on Steam in 2017. The Long Dark is a game I've been wanting to play for probably five years. On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
