The Long Dark is a survival game I've been excited to play for over a year now, as the style is fantastic, and it has some really great reviews.

About the game
The Long Dark is a thoughtful, exploration-survival experience that challenges solo players to think for themselves as they explore an expansive frozen wilderness. There are no zombies -- only you, the cold, and everything Mother Nature can throw at you.

It will also feature a story mode, which is one of the reasons I am most interested in it, but their store page states that's not due until the full launch.

To access it, you need to enter the password QjDcT5s3JXw8hcUL, and then select the test_linux beta. Full instructions can be found here.

You can find The Long Dark on Steam. It's in Early Access, so remember it will be buggy, and even more so as the Linux version is even more experimental right now.


If you do try it out, be sure to let us know what you think! Sadly, I am way over my budget for games, so it's sitting in my list to cover later. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

The game works perfectly on my Ubuntu 15.10 Asus Zenbook (UX32LN) with Nvidia 840M card on medium setting. Really nice and atmospheric yet at the same time brutal game.

I'd recommend this game if you would like something different.
