How long can you last in the frigid Canadian wilderness after being stranded by a plane crash? For those looking to test their survival skills, The Long Dark will scratch that itch without freezing anyone to death.

The Early Access PC game pits you against the wilderness. We checked out The Long Dark's sandbox mode for this week's episode of What to Play, so you can see the harrowing journey for yourself. While The Long Dark is still in development by Hinderland Games, you can get a good sense for the title from what's currently available on Steam.
