Tonight we are starting a new Interloper world in The Long Dark, but with a distinct challenge. Every 3 days I must punish myself in-game, or IRL, to make my survival tougher. What punishments can we come up with? How long can we make it?

Love this quote from @torontolifemag.bsky.social's interview with Matt Johnson about focusing on Canadian stories. 🍁
It's why we need to uplift indie games like @thelongdark.bsky.social and @capycastaway.com that are doing similarly wonderful things.

VERY excited to share this big project.
Many games are made in Canada, but few are *set* here.
So, I spoke to 20+ devs who have been making all kinds of games that take place in Canada.
From showcasing stunning landscapes to telling diverse stories, these games paint a vivid portrait of Canada. 🍁

Canada rarely gets to play itself -- these games are changing that
From showcasing stunning geography to telling diverse stories, here's how developers are representing Canada in their games.
