ABOUT THIS GAME
What was supposed to be a nice winter hike in the Mount Washington State Park with friends, turned into a dire situation. You are left alone to fight for your survival. With only marginal supplies you have to fight off of the cold, the wildlife and find your way to an abandoned ranger station in hope to be able to call for help.

While you haven’t suffered any injuries during the fall, you lost your backpack and hence most of your gear and supplies. You will need to find shelter, find some food and rest. Then it’s about making your way to an old ranger station to call for rescue.
Sounds easy enough, doesn’t it? It is, except for the supplies you are going to need for the trip, the weather, the freezing cold, not to mention the wildlife. The goal of the game is to survive. To prepare enough to make the trip to the ranger station and to deal with all the surprises along the journey.

Hunt or be hunted. You have no rifle and there is no combat. If you encounter wolfs or even a bear, stay away and run. You won’t be able to kill a bear with a knife, it’s not the movies.
What you can do is be clever about the wildlife and set traps. You might even be able to find some traps hunters left behind and use them to maintain a safe perimeter or to hunt smaller animals for food. Tracking, establishing the best spot and being patient is what the hunt will be about.

Cold, thirst, hunger and exhaustion are the four major factors you have to worry about. It doesn’t however end there. Injuries are another one and there is the weather. Spending the night in the freezing cold without any shelter is akin to a death sentence and trying to go out in a snow storm isn’t any better either. Don’t forget, weather in the mountains changes quickly and is unpredictable. You have to be prepared at all times.

You are not the first one person in this area. There have been many before you. More than a century ago some even lived here. If you explore your surroundings there is a good chance they may have left something behind that will still be useful to you. And while building a shelter on your own is certainly an option, it is a lot better and safer to adapt something that already exists.
You could find an old hunter lodge and fix it up to offer decent shelter and a base of operations for you to prepare, gather supplies and food and even hunt. You are going to have a long trip ahead of you. The better you prepare, the less risky it will be.

The rescue isn’t going to be instant. Despite modern equipment and well trained mountain rescue personnel, you are far away and their helicopter can’t take off in any weather. Between you calling for help and help actually arriving might take even a couple of days. Additional time you have to survive in the bitter cold at Mount Washington.

  • @KitCatherine
    Wow. Thank you for going through all that for us. It was a lot on the senses just watching it. I can’t imagine playing it and trying to create YT content at the same time.
  • Paul I’ve been watching you since I was like 12 bro I’m 19 now you’re a true one. I miss Chief chirpa I think I said that right but you’re son and you made a good playing duo. I just wanted you to know you changed my life I watched probably every single Minecraft family episode you had back in the day. You have a nice family on YouTube and real life homie and I just want you to know I appreciate you still going this many years down the line I gave up on my YouTube channel but you haven’t gone anywhere and I just wanted to say I hope all is well Paul you’re a great dude and a great dad I look forward to many more years watching you

    Just a thought, but smoking reduces feelings of hunger. It's possible that smoking will stop the hunger meter from going down (I don,t know if the meter is tracking actual hunger/energy, or feelings of hunger).
  • I thought this WAS a Long Dark episode at first from the thumbnail. XD; Also, those wolves seem a little small for wolves, but maybe that's just me.
  • The one comment that said it felt like a horror game - I agree. Survival games are about being clever and feeling that if you picked up on stuff that you didn't notice the first time through, you'll do better. Seems to me the fun house effects belong in short cut scenes to explain why you fell down a hill or something and then the game should return to a situation where the player can see what he is meant to interact with. And I despise the notion that cigarettes and booze are in the game to be a "mental health cure" - anyone who has any medical knowledge or who has actually had mental health problems (or both) would know that becoming drunk does not reduce hallucinations. Cigarettes are better for making poison than for curing anything.

    I think they want to make a edgy The Long Dark yeah there is danger and what not, but even on the hardest difficulty you can survive if you are smart. This has a weird storyline, is he sleeping is he going crazy, why would he go crazy? The Longer Dark was a very possible storyline, something killed the electric and you have to survive, simple.
  • @Jaybird196
    Apart from the food and water needing serious rebalancing, I like it, and hope, you'll play more of it. Please, be patient with it.
  • @61684ryan
    I was really hoping it was like the long dark but with some unreal engine 5 graphics. Maybe one day a game like that will be created😌
  • @MrVurtan
    As always, this is a great video Paul! I'm very intrigued in the game, hopefully we will see more (if the game improves more on the fun part)
