Just starting out in The Long Dark on Nintendo Switch? Cold, hungry, and not sure what you’re doing? I’ve got you covered.
The Beginner’s Guide is now live—and it walks you through:
● Choosing the right difficulty
● Where to start (hint: not on a mountain)
● Managing warmth, hunger, thirst, and rest
● Understanding the User Hub
● What to actually do in your first in-game week
Plus, there’s a full controls table and region map to stop you from wandering in circles.
