I Survived 100 Days in The Long Dark

After a very long wait, it's finally time for another 100 days in The Long Dark. This took me an embarrassingly long time to edit, but y'know what, I finished it and that's what counts. Working on 100 Days in Interloper now - more info in the pinned comment about that and other stuff if you're interested! Thanks so much for watching. :) x

THIS IS SO COOL! I love finding long dark content cause I started watching it about 3-4 years ago? I think. This really is giving me the courage to be more daring and play it more though, this video was really good!

[@NEONJACK]

i love finding content for it too, it's such an underrated game!! thanks so much, and i'm so glad, i hope you have more fun adventures in it :)

[@mesk412]

Start playing again. I recommend not relying too much on maps either. It's so much fun to explore and learn. Once you master some of the game mechanics you can step up the skill level for an even greater challenge. Interloper requires map knowledge, great decision making, and decisive planning. It's the best survival game on the market IMO. 👌

[@chocolate_boba1]

@@mesk412 Yeah I agree I only know Mystery Lake like the back of my hand so I always try to explore new maps.

[@mesk412]

@@chocolate_boba1 I have had some good runs on interloper, but right now I'm playing on voyager to learn the unknown maps better. Started in ash canyon and finally found the gold mine. Then I hit the peak of Timberwolf mountain. Just gonna focus on those harder regions to gain the map knowledge

[@denisebaker7206]

I love u

[@Finnivus28]

Something interesting is that at the end of the video on day 87, Jack finds a crashed plane in some trees. if you didn't know this and I'm sure plenty know already, if you have played the main story of the game, WinterMute. that plane is actually the main characters plane that crashes during the Geomagnetic storm that knocks out all the power. also for jack, you should totally do a full length series on the main story, or just keep pushing the amount of days you can go in the game. I got the game last night and it's really fun, good content.

It's finallyyyyy here! I appreciate all the sweet/funny comments on the last attempt so so much, and I'm so thankful to those who stuck around for this one. Hope it lives up to your expectations, and rest assured that after this there will be no more Pilgrim mode lol. More on that below! Last 100 days attempt: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kF6wg3ilpc6XmdU Just a disclaimer: Yes, I'm aware that Pilgrim mode is extremely easy! I didn't go into it thinking this would be some big challenge; I went into it thinking it would be fun to first try to hit 100 days on the easiest mode, because as someone who (despite owning the game since early release and sinking unhealthy amounts of time into it) rarely stepped outside of Pilgrim, I wasn't confident in my abilities. Eight months on since this was filmed, I've now become addicted to Interloper lol, have had a lot of long runs in it and can't imagine going back to Pilgrim, but this video was filmed in December/January when I was still learning. I very much cringed editing this and seeing my zero braincell moments, but I didn't want to just scrap the whole video, so here it is. If you're not interested in watching someone play in Pilgrim and make dumb decisions, that's fine! I'm going to be editing my 100 days in Interloper attempt next, so if that's more your style, feel free to come back for that. But being gatekeepy to beginner players on their videos is weird and could scare newbies off and drive people away from this game, which is sad because it deserves SO much more attention. Be kind and remember that everyone's skill levels are different, there's no need to judge, and after everything, it's literally just a video game lol. Alright, that's all; this is my last Pilgrim attempt and more challenging stuff will be up in the future! Thanks for watching. :)

[@samsmiles6340]

Can’t wait for the next one. Just know that no matter how you play or on what difficulty, the videos are still amazing. Keep at it king!!!

[@ryanmorrison2664]

Playing this game is equally valid no matter what difficulty you are on. I'm nearly 200 days into my latest interloper run and I still enjoy playing pilgrim. The Long Dark is a wonderful game filled with majesty and there is no wrong way to play it. Your video is awesome and I think your content is good regardless of what difficulty you are playing! Keep up the good work! ❤️ PS: I've seen that video of you running from a moose and I legit laughed out loud!

[@ellw7830]

i absolutely agree! as someone who mostly plays on voyager and has dipped their toes in stalker/interloper, dont shame people for playing on pilgrim! sometimes you just want to walk around in a snowy wonderland, and it’s a game for crying out lout so you’re allowed to play it however u want. normalize having fun while playing games !!!!

[@yesindeed1614]

loved the vid. but are you sure going form pilgrim to interloper is a good idea. i would recommend at least trying stalker. I'm not one to judge though.

When I play this game, I like to modify it so the wild life is a little more chill, but loot is a little more rare.

[@ellw7830]

yes same. i haven’t made a custom game yet but i would really love to, voyager is pretty close to what i want but it would be nice to forage a bit more from my surroundings and die a bit less from blood loss :)

[@mesk412]

I think something like interloper with less hostile wildlife would be great.

[@cloudedfreedom6286]

2:40. Those corpses make me so sad every time I see them. I believe there’s one or two more just like that in game and they affect me more than any other corpses do.

saaame, i know it's just a game, but when you really immerse yourself in it it's easy to create little backstories for the corpses and it makes it so sad :(

This game is far too underrated it's so fun to see someone do a 100 days challenge :D I had to immediately watch your old attempt after discovering this cuz i am HUNGRY for tld content thank u so much for this FOOD. Hope you make more videos :]

[@tini243]

So cool that you tried again. I know its a lot of investment time-wise, but I feel like the 100 days format is especially suited for TLD, where everyone can have their own individual adventure, so its kinda sad there aren't more videos like this on TLD. Good job!

[@subforspace]

Best day 1 start i've ever seen. RNG was definitely in your favor. Great video, love the effort you put in...on top of surviving 100 days. That itself is a feat to brag about

This video is a masterpiece, the music that is at the right volume to not disturb speech and game sounds. Editing that makes days short but still informational and the looks into sunrise give us some small breaks in this fast Paced adventure.

Amazing video my man, the long dark is a great game and im glad to be from were its based off of!

[@pawsitive6558]

Really good video! I'm a huge TLD-Fan and it was a pleasure to see another person enjoying this gem. Great narration, great cutting, nice pacing. Consider yourself subscribed. Another 100 days in another game, hm? I would like to recommend you a few survival games where such an adventure is worthwhile ... 1.) Don't Starve (Singleplayer) - Kind of old, but still relatively rich of content. In the Singleplayer-Version there are 3 diferrent types of enviroments: The standard-world (Reign of Giants), a tropical world (Shipwrecked) and a sky-island world (Hamlet), each with there own enemies, craftingrecipes and survival-tactics. My favorite is shipwrecked though. 2.) Don't Starve Together The multiplayer-version of this game, but you can totally play it for yourself. It's based on Reign of Giants from the singleplayer, but got so. much. content in the last couple of years, that it become a standalone and even in 100 days you will not experience all things. It's great! 3.) Raft You start on a tiny raft in the middle of the ocean, followed by a shark. From this point, you collect trash from the sea to build up your raft to a seaworthy vessel. The game is finished, well rounded and got a story to tell! 4.) Green Hell Survive the rainforest. I didn't make it, tbh, but the game has a quite unique, realistic approach. 5.) The Forest Survival, but mixed with a good portion of horror and story. I liked it a lot! 6.) And last, but not least: Project Zomboid. Great game. Can not recommed it enough! Keep up your good work and I would love to see you survive another 100 days in another world!

"Where is it I've read that someone condemned to death says or thinks, an hour before his death, that if he had to live on some high rock, on such a narrow ledge that he'd only room to stand, and the ocean, everlasting darkness, everlasting solitude, everlasting tempest around him, if he had to remain standing on a square yard of space all his life, a thousand years, eternity, it were better to live so than to die at once!

Here's a tip to help you get better at the game: With every run you do, adjust the difficulty settings to make them just a little harder

[@popebryanii7224]

I have really liked the solo survival mode but I loved the campaign most actually. I set my solo to custom and turned the wolves down because wolves aren't like that irl. They hate people and all known wolf attacks are little to none on people however I turned the hostility of the bears way up but turned their spawn rate way down. I kept most of the other settings the same. I played for 150 days and I only died due to falling while climbing in the areas above blackrock while having a crap ton of revolver ammo, the warmest coat and mukluks.

[@darkerdaemon7794]

That's only if the wolves are used to humans though. In an apocalyptic setting, where humans are few and far between, there's a legit chance wolves might become more aggressive towards humans for lack of interacting with them.

[@matthewsmith4710]

@@darkerdaemon7794 yeah I thought the game had some kind of lore about why the wolves are more aggressive too

[@darkerdaemon7794]

@@matthewsmith4710 I am currently playing the game but I'm only up to chapter 2, though I've seen two references to the wolves being more aggressive in the story mode. One says since the "first flare" of the aurora that there seemed to be more frequent animal attacks, from either a menu screen or a scrap of a letter in-game, but there as well was an note i found in the farmers house that mentions a guy looking for his dog, finding it wounded by wolves, and him telling the farmer to be careful since the wolves seem to more populated because of fewer humans to keep their numbers in check. Even if that's all of the lore they have on it, it kind of makes sense. Maybe not as quickly as they turned but the game kind of insinuates that all of the animals have become more aggressive. In the part of the story I'm in now, we are kind of being hunted by a a huge feral bear.
