The Long Dark

from Switch 2 The Past · host Was Cool Productions

With the darkest days upon us (as well as snow for almost everyone on the east coast of North America), this episode felt extremely appropriate to record at this time of year. One of the best pure survival games in recent memory, this game from indie Canadian studio Hinterland has become a cult favourite and undercover hit selling over 6m units! Friend of the show Marty joins the episode and the boys could think of no one better to bring on as he's racked up 1400 hours playing this game and knows what it's like to get cabin fever after running away from some bears chasing you in Bleak Inlet. Don't know what that means? Listen to this very special episode to learn all about this terrific game and what makes it so special 12 years after it's release.
