About the Game

A Long Dark Night is a single-player first-person mystery set in the Gulf of Maine.

Embark on a moving journey as an angler navigating stormy waters with your dad.
In the shadow of your mom's passing five years ago, your simple life takes a paranormal turn when a mysterious ring reveals glimpses of someone else's past. This town, which is cursed by an ever-present storm, becomes the backdrop for your discovery: your mother is alive, yet changed.

As you and your dad unite to find her, unravel a compelling tale of love, loss, and a reality veiled in mystery.
Whose version of the past will you believe, your father's or your mother's? The truth awaits, and the choices you make will shape the course of this narrative-driven game.
