  1. Hello! My question if for you as a writer. We know that the darkness of the world contributes a lot to the feel of the game both in theme and environmentally. But, just how dark are you willing to go with your story? I know you've mentioned that you have certain restrictions when it comes to the content you can include, but I do often wonder how deep into the dark depths of the human psyche you're willing to show us in the rest of Wintermute, survival mode, and beyond Thanks for this amazing game. It's been a big part of my life, and I wish all of you at Hinterland well
  2. Wintermute isn't a real word, but more rather a word created by the devs to describe the state you are thrown into in TLD. The title of the game itself, The Long Dark, means darkness (obviously), and a connotation to a lack of sight or that there is nothing to be seen but darkness. With Wintermute, the thing that comes to mind is its relation to hearing. When I think of Wintermute in my head, I think of how freshly fallen snow muffles the sound of everything around you. It creates a really eerie yet beautiful distortion in nature, where nothing can be heard. Wintermute sounds to me like danger because of the deafness you feel when out in the snow like that. Perhaps it also relates to speech, and that you would be left speechless if you crashed your plane into a cold wilderness with no sign of relief. Those are just my thoughts, and I applaud Hinterland for being so creative with their titles.
