TheEndless

Just the overall atmosphere that has been created. I love The Long Dark for the "good" anxiety it gives me. Wondering if you will make it to the next shelter or the next meal, can be demanding on the heart. This game has an amazing ability to get me right on the edge of my seat, like no other game I've ever played. The world is so immersive and eerie without doing much at all. Just the need to survive, is a driving focus that can be found at all times. It's easy to forget about the game itself even, as I can so wrapped up in the character, I'm thinking as him. It's a neat experience that no other game has really provided at such constant levels. I never find myself bored with just trying to beat death. It's that parallel I can draw to my own life, which makes it all the much better. In the end, we're all just trying to cheat death one more day...
