July 7, 2026 · 21 min

Show notes

Day 200 of The Long Dark. Marco Reyes, a 25-year-old writer, broadcasts for the first time from an abandoned military relay tower in the mountains of Rizal. The Philippines is frozen. The sun has not risen in seven months. Eleven survivors huddle in The Beacon, rationing fuel and fighting the cold. But the darkness outside is not empty. Something is moving. Something is watching. And the ground beneath the tower is vibrating with a rhythm that should not exist.
