Day 207: Night Watch

The vote is cast. Three souls will walk forty kilometers into the frozen dark, following a dead soldier's map to Anomaly Site Seven. But before they leave, Marco takes his first night watch on the tower — and sees what moves among the frozen trees. Not animals. Not people. Something older. Something that has been waiting. Day two hundred and seven of The Long Dark. The group votes on the expedition to Anomaly Site Seven. Marco witnesses the creatures for the first time from the tower watch.
