Here’s What’s Ahead This Week – Survivor Incognito Update

Coming Up This Week:

1. Skyrim Survival Day Three:

○ Our Argonian survivor continues their frigid, torchless march through Skyrim.

○ Follow the chaos and check out the full series on the Sneak, Snipe, Repeat: Skyrim Survival page.

2. The Long Dark Day Four:

○ More snow, more mistakes, and fewer calories

○ Full playthrough available on the The Cold Chronicles: A Voyageur’s Tale of The Long Dark page.

In Case You Missed It:

  • We’ve covered some basic Rules of Survival already:

○ If the game let’s you cheat death (The Long Dark, looking at you), we don’t take the offer.

○ Difficulty stays low, but decisions still have consequences.

  • Expect more games to enter rotation soon – but the current runs must end first. That’s the deal.

Beginner’s Guide: How To Survive Your First Week in The Long Dark

A practical walk through focusing on Mystery Lake. For players who want survival not suffering.

No Man’s Sky – Survival Series Pending

The space odyssey is on standby. It won’t launch until one of the current playthroughs wraps up. That gives me time to build out a few early entries before going live.

New Rules, Who Dis? (Permadeath Begins Now)

Setting the official rules for all future playthroughs on Survivor Incognito—permadeath is here, and chaos just got consequences.

Starting today, all future playthroughs on this blog—The Long Dark, Skyrim: Survival Mode, and anything else I drag my tired, freezing self into—will follow official permadeath rules.

That means:

If I die, that run is over.

No reloads. No saves. No mercy.

I start fresh from Day 1, with a new character or region.

What about previous entries?

My original Day 1 diary for The Long Dark was from my first experience with the game—long before these rules existed. So yes, I fell through the ice and died like a confused deer. That was real. That was me. That was chaos, pre-regulations.

What now?

From here on out:

I’ll clearly label each run.

I’ll document every in-game day, death or glory.

And I’ll stick to the rules. Even if a moose doesn’t.

Full breakdown of the rules are now live and can be found here [The Rules of Survival (According to Me)]

Let’s see how long I last.

One Life To Explore: A No Man’s Permadeath Project (In The Works)

Planning a permadeath run in No Man’s Sky—but with a chill twist. One life, easier difficulty, and open invites for readers to name the planets. Coming soon to Survivor Incognito.

One Life. One Jetpack. No Do-Overs

Survivor Incognito is about embracing chaos without chasing pain—and what better way to do that than launching into No Man’s Sky on permadeath mode?

But not just any permadeath. I’ll be playing on the lowest difficulty settings available in that mode. Because survival doesn’t need to be hardcore to be meaningful—or entertaining.

Here’s The Plan:

One save file. When I die, that’s it.

Posts will follow a “Day X” diary format.

Each entry will feature survival updates, tech progress, planetary oddities, and near-death mishaps.

The series will be called One Life to Explore.

Want to name a planet?

Every post, I’ll feature at least one world. You can drop a name in the comments. If I land there, it gets your name. Ridiculousness encouraged. Galactic seriousness not required.

First post coming soon. Until then—make your peace with space crabs and bad decisions.
