How to Install

Important: Back up your existing save folder before replacing anything. If Steam Cloud is enabled for The Long Dark, disable it first so your local files aren't overwritten by an old cloud copy.

1
In Steam, right-click The Long Dark → Properties → General → disable Steam Cloud.
2
Navigate to your save folder: C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Local\Hinterland\TheLongDark\ (press Win + R and type %localappdata%\Hinterland\TheLongDark).
3
Backup your existing save folder by copying it to your desktop.
4
Download and extract the .zip file. It contains the Wintermute and Survival Mode save subfolders.
5
Copy the extracted subfolders into your TheLongDark folder, replacing the existing ones.
6
Launch The Long Dark and select Continue from either the Wintermute or Survival Mode menu.
7
All Feats, skills, and story progress will load immediately. Stay warm out there.

Feats are account-wide: Once a Feat is unlocked in one Survival Mode save, it's available to toggle on for every future Survival Mode game you start, even a brand-new one on Interloper difficulty. This save's 30/30 Feats will carry forward automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this The Long Dark save file safe to use?
Yes. The Long Dark is entirely single-player with no online components or anti-cheat systems. Dropping a new save file into your local folder is completely safe and has zero risk to your Steam account.
Where is The Long Dark save file location on PC?
Saves are at C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Hinterland\TheLongDark\. Wintermute and Survival Mode saves are stored in separate subfolders, each save as its own numbered slot file. Steam App ID 305620.
What's the difference between Wintermute and Survival Mode?
Wintermute is the story campaign, following pilot Will Mackenzie and Dr. Astrid Greenwood after a plane crash on Great Bear Island, told across 5 episodes plus the Tales from the Far Territory expansion. Survival Mode is the open-ended sandbox with adjustable difficulty (Pilgrim, Voyageur, Stalker, Interloper) and no scripted story or NPCs.
What are Feats in The Long Dark?
Feats are permanent, account-wide bonuses unlocked by completing specific milestones in Survival Mode, such as surviving a set number of days or reaching a skill's top rank. Once unlocked, a Feat can be toggled on for any future Survival Mode game. This save has all 30 Feats unlocked.
Is Tales from the Far Territory included?
Yes. The story region added by the Tales from the Far Territory expansion (all 5 episodes, set on the Island Archipelago) is fully completed in this save, alongside the original Wintermute campaign.
What is Interloper difficulty?
Interloper is the hardest built-in Survival Mode difficulty: no map markers, aggressive wildlife, scarce resources, and harsher weather than Stalker mode. This save includes an Interloper-viable long-term game alongside a 500+ day Voyageur run.
Will using this save spoil the Wintermute story?
This save is meant for players who already know the story or want to explore Great Bear Island at full survival mastery rather than experience the plot fresh. If you want to play through Wintermute's narrative yourself, start a new Wintermute game instead of loading this save.
About The Long Dark

The Long Dark is a survival game developed by Canadian studio Hinterland, released into early access in 2014 and fully launched in 2017. Set on the fictional Great Bear Island off Canada's northern coast after a mysterious geomagnetic disaster knocks out all electronics, it strips survival down to its essentials: hunger, thirst, fatigue, cold, and the constant threat of wolves, bears, and deteriorating weather. There is no combat-focused action and no crafting-for-crafting's-sake — every decision is about managing scarce resources against the relentless Canadian winter.

The game splits into two experiences. Wintermute is a narrative story mode following plane crash survivors Will Mackenzie and Dr. Astrid Greenwood as they search for each other across the island, released episodically and later expanded with the Tales from the Far Territory story region. Survival Mode is an open-ended sandbox with five built-in difficulty settings, from the forgiving Pilgrim to the brutal Interloper, where the only goal is to survive as many days as possible. Long-term Survival Mode runs are a community obsession, with dedicated players tracking runs lasting hundreds of in-game days.

Progression is built around eight skills (Rifle, Bow, Revolver, Fishing, Cooking, Fire Starting, Mending, Cleanliness) that level up through use and unlock passive bonuses, plus 30 account-wide Feats earned by hitting specific survival milestones. Reaching 100% completion means finishing every Wintermute episode and the Far Territory region, maxing all eight skills, unlocking every Feat, and surviving deep into a long-term Survival Mode game — a commitment spanning well over 100 hours for dedicated players.
