Description (
Characters: 1558 of 4000
)
The Longing 400 day game In utter loneliness deep below the surface, it's your task to wait for the awakening of your king... for 400 days. Play as a lonely Shade, the last servant of a king who once ruled an underground kingdom. The king's powers have faded and he falls asleep for 400 days to regain his might. It is your duty to stay in the earthen palace until he awakens. As soon as you start, the game inevitably counts down the 400 days - even when you stop playing and exit the game. It is now up to you to decide what to do with your solitary existence beneath the soil. Don't stress yourself, you have plenty of time. Choose your playing style Start the game and simply come back after 400 days to see how it ends. You actually don't have to play the game at all. But the Shade will be even more lonely without you. Or explore the caves and collect items for your comfortable underground living room. Just send the Shade to take a stroll - the walking speed is slow, but luckily there is no need to hurry. Read tons of classic literature from Nietzsche to Moby Dick right in the game - or at least have the shade read them. After all, time goes by faster if you learn to keep your mind occupied. Ignore the king's commands and advance to the outer regions the cave. It will be a long and dangerous journey into darkness... Features • Slow exploration of a vast, hand-drawn cave. • Atmospheric Dungeon Synth soundtrack. • Various endings. • Lots of well hidden secrets. • Time-based puzzles. • A lonely but cute protagonist.}

I am absolutely loving this game. Exploring the cave, having to wait a month to explore certain parts further, brilliant! It is really relaxing to me, because I don't feel the rush to come back every day to get a reward or to explore before the timer ends. I have 400 days, and that's long. And I'm loving it.

Well this game was perfect for my mood. Better then meditation! Spending some time with the little fellow in endless walks around for exploring in the dark caves for treasures. I actually enjoyed it...to the end :)

Scusatemi, sono agli inizi e non capisco se sbaglio qualcosa perché questo gioco è di una lentezza esasperante. Ieri sera mi ci sono addormentata ed ora non ricordo nemmeno cosa stavo facendo... Cavatemi da questo impiccio 😅

me gusta mucho la historia y el dibujo que tiene lo que no me ha gustado es que no se porque pero llevaba un mes sin entrar y ya por eso me ponía que habían pasado los 400 días y todavía no llevaba ni tres meses

Fantastic! what a wonderful experience! my girlfriend and I have been mapping the caves! Such a clever innovative game. unlike anything else out there. wonderful drawings, music and sound effects. Just so clever! Bravo! A triumph. Currently expanding my cave with a mattock. This game rewards patience! I love it. Thank you.

Aplikacja nie działa prawidłowo. Mam przyśpieszenie czasu 23× a mimo to że mineły w realu 6 h to w grze mineło ledwie pół dnia. Sprawdzałem dziś rano i po 12. Nie wiem czy to problem chmury czy co.
