Day One Diaries – Green Hell is Live!

Think you’ve had a rough first day in the jungle? I punched trees, failed at crafting, ate a banana, and died of mystery poison. My Green Hell Day One Diary is now live on the blog.

Read it here: [Green Hell – Day 1: Poisoned by Nature, Humbled by Bananas]

Includes

  • Jungle logic that makes no sense
  • A hard-won rock axe
  • Banana-fueled optimism
  • And a fatal case of “I don’t know what poisoned me”.

Check it out—and if you enjoy that descent into chaos, there are plenty more Day One Diaries waiting for you on the blog here: [Day One Diaries]

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.

In the meantime, enjoy the header image for it:

What’s in the Works:

● Green Hell – Day One Diary

Failed to punch some trees, got poisoned by something unseen, and spent most of the day searching for vines to make rope. A strong start.

● Beginner-Friendly Guide – The Long Dark

A practical survival intro using Mystery Lake, minus the gatekeeping.

And finally, a Privacy Policy page is now live – because even barely-surviving bloggers need fine print. Read it Here

And remember: if it moves and growls, it’s probably not friendly. Survivor Incognito,  signing off – for now.

A Voyageur’s Tale – Day 3 Drops Tomorrow

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.

Until then, catch up with the first two days here: [The Cold Chronicles: A Voyageur’s Tale]

The Map Hub Is Live: Navigate My Chaos One Region at a Time

Survivor Incognito’s new Map Hub is here! Get quick access to detailed maps for The Long Dark, Skyrim, ARK: Survival Evolved, and more.

Lost again? You’re in luck—because now I know where I am. Mostly.

The Map Hub is now live on Survivor Incognito! It’s your one-stop page for every survival game map I’ve blundered through so far. Whether you’re wandering Mystery Lake, dodging deathworms in Scorched Earth, or just trying to remember which way Bleak Falls Barrow is, I’ve got you covered.

Here’s what’s inside:

The Long Dark region pages (including DLC and transition zones)

ARK: Survival Evolved maps for The Island and Scorched Earth, with links to interactive versions

Skyrim world map (because frostbite waits for no one)

A placeholder for future games, because let’s face it—I’m probably going to keep making poor survival decisions


Each game has its own dedicated map section, and I’ll keep expanding it as the blog grows. So if you ever need to get your bearings—or just want to laugh at mine—you know where to click.

Where In Skyrim Am I? Now You Can Find Out (Sort Of)

I’ve added a new feature to the blog: a full map of Skyrim.

No markers. No quest icons. Just a map so you can trace the journey the same confusing way I do — by squinting at rivers, guessing mountain paths, and muttering “pretty sure I passed that ruin already.”

You’⁰ll find it linked on the main Skyrim Survival page and at the end of each day’s post. Or you can jump straight to it here:
[Skyrim Survival Map]

It won’t tell you where I’m going next, but it will show where I might be. Or where I got lost before heading somewhere else entirely. Either way, it’s part of the fun.

Let me know what you think. And if you’re a map-staring, path-guessing player too — welcome home.
