THE LONG NIGHT

"A grim, high-stakes solo survival game of endurance, strategy, and divine fate." LORE Shipwrecked on a frozen, unforgiving coastline, you find yourself entirely alone as the long shadows of Fimbulwinter stretch across the land. The storm is raging, resources are scarce, and the local wildlife grows hungrier by the minute. With your longship destroyed, your only hope of survival is to brace against the biting wind, build a makeshift shelter from coastal drift, and pray to the gods. Carve ancient runes of power into raw stones to alter your fate, and protect your dwindling stamina. You must hold out through 12 brutal hours of darkness until the sun breaks over the horizon and a friendly clan ship spots your signal fire at dawn. Will you survive the frost, or will you freeze to death and ride to Valhalla?
