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.
The Cold Chronicles Continue – Day 3 of The Long Dark is Live
It’s a new day, and I’m still not dead—though the ice certainly tried. Day 3 of my Long Dark Voyageur run is up. I explore Crumbling Highway, get jumped by a wolf, flirt with frostbite, and make questionable life choices involving fish.
Read the full chaos here: [The Cold Chronicles: A Voyageur’s Tale Day 3]
Coming This Week: Sneak, Snipe, Repeat Day Two & A Voyageur’s Tale Day 3
So… I may have taken a wrong turn on the way to Bleak Falls Barrow. Twice.
Day 2 of my stealth-archer survival in Skyrim brings snowstorms, skeletal surprises, and the harsh realization that I probably should’ve brought a torch. Also: I’ve discovered the joys of necromancy. It’s amazing what a little magic, a lot of arrows, and a reanimated corpse can do against the undead.
Full Day 2 post coming on Wednesday —expect frostbite, draugr, and exactly one incredibly untrustworthy man in a web cocoon.
In the meantime: Read Day One of Skyrim Survival Here
A Voyageur’s Tale Day 3 Drops Thursday
Our cautious wanderer isn’t done with the cold just yet.
Day 3 of A Voyageur’s Tale arrives this Thursday, and things are heating up—well, metaphorically. Expect more coffee, questionable decisions, and the creeping suspicion that the wolves have formed a union.
If you’ve missed the first two entries, now’s a good time to catch up. The cold doesn’t wait, and neither do the moose.
Stay warm. Stay weird. See you Thursday.

Coming Today: Sneak, Snipe, Repeat – Skyrim Survival Day One
What happens when an Argonian wakes up in a war-torn land, gets ambushed by wolves, and punches their way through a mine with a bow, a mace, and zero survival instincts?
Skyrim Survival Mode is cold, cruel, and kind of hilarious when you’re new, hungry, and accidentally following Hadvar because you forgot where Riverwood was.

And don’t forget: Day Two of The Long Dark Voyageur playthrough goes live tomorrow. More cold. More chaos. Less punching. (Probably.)

Day 2 is coming soon! If you thought navigating Desolation Point on Day 1 was a breeze, think again. Join me as I wander through the icy wastes, searching for matches and trying to find my way to the Crumbling Highway (spoiler: I get a little lost).
Will I survive the cold without setting myself on fire? Or will the wolves decide I make a nice snack? Find out in the full post in the next few days!
Stay tuned for all the cold, chaos, and survival antics. Don’t miss out on the next chapter in my The Long Dark adventure!
