The Long Dark is a first-person survival video game developed and published by Hinterland Studio. The player assumes the role of a plane crash survivor who must survive the frigid Canadian wilderness after a global disaster disables all electronics. Welcome to our community!

Banner alt-text: Stone Church in Desolation Point, during an aurora. The moon hovers large, low in the sky. A fire crackles under the ruined wall of the church. The displayed health bar is distressingly low.

Scurvy: certain foods have vitamin C. THere’s a “C” icon on foods that indicates major/minor amounts of C. The Thomson Stew is shown with “Major”. Long-term effects are "tough to deal with", the flavour text says "you will continue to weaken and lose condition until you succumb and die". Raph says it'll mostly effect long-term players and is enabled in voyager/stalker/interloper. Not currently disablable in custom games.

  • Thomson Family Stew: major
  • ranger stew: moderate
  • canned corn: moderate
  • coho salmon: major
  • rabbit: none
  • rainbow trout: major
  • rockfish: none
  • wolfmeat: none

So it may be a motivation to actually fish or at least beachcomb. A fish once in a while may be enough to get by sustainably.
