I've played around enough with the Long Dark Alpha Sandbox Mode that I've decided to play "True Death" (ie when I die I'm done with the game for good) save on each of the two maps that are currently available. While the alpha version of the game is enjoyable, it currently has no story mode, so there isn't really a "point" to surviving other than to see how long you can last. Since I was starting to get a little bored of playing the sandbox mode, I figured this would be a nice sendoff for the game (at least until it is finished).
So there are currently two maps available for Sandbox Mode: Mystery Lake and Coastal Highway. I've played a fair number of saves (and died repeatedly at the fangs of wolves) on the Mystery Lake map, so I'm familiar with the game mechanics now and I know my way around the map pretty well. I have yet to play the Coastal Highway map at all, so when I play the "True Death" save on that map I will be going into an authentic "crash" survival situation where I have no clue about my surroundings. Should be fun.
I'll start with the "Mystery Lake" save first!
