But if you happen to be near the farmhouse, in Pleasant Valley, when the sunrise has cast a soft yellow, you can’t help but be reminded of the 1933 painting “Winter Charlevoix County” by the Group of Seven member A. The whole rainbow is utilized for different times of the day. In the game, the skyline is always changing with simple mountain silhouettes appearing at sunset first in blues, then in reds, and then purples before collapsing into black. The art style is reminiscent of the Group of Seven-famous painters who relied on simple shapes full of movement, impressionistic technique, and (usually) bright pallets. Yet, Fluffy’s choice of home isn’t a mistake, it’s genius, and it’s worth going through the game’s Canadian cultural influences to explain why.Īlthough the game is still in development, it’s obvious from your first moments in The Long Dark that it’s inspired by some Canadian cultural giants.
Okay, but that doesn’t explain why one wolf, dubbed “Fluffy” by the game’s community, has decided to live in the Hydro Plant.
The mysterious geomagnetic disaster that the game depicts has disturbed the minds of all the wolves. In this otherwise realistic game, wolves-who normally avoid humans-have become Will’s top concern. This is The Long Dark, a Canadian survival game where you play as bush pilot Will Mackenzie. Instead, a rabid wolf is likely to tear you in half. If you seek shelter or answers in the nearby Hydro dam you are greeted by neither. The houses are empty, the cars won’t start, the radios are silent. Your plane has crashed in the wilderness of the Canadian North West.
