Been with the developers since the start, not a decision I regret. Beautiful composition to go with the feel of the game. Take my hat of to the few early access dev teams that fulfilled there promise to its community,
LiquidLouE Indeed it was a good decision to follow the drveloper. I can tell that the game changed a lot since it were released on steam. It was a good decision.
i agree with you it was completly worth it and the game is beautifull i had played it sinnce steam earlly acess release and im still playing it and it became my favourite game
I adore the game. Wintermute is such a beautiful and stunning change to the game, and it's one of my favorite things on steam. Give my best to everyone at Hinterland
This song progresses like your first run of The Long Dark. 1. Calm and peaceful. 2. Melancholic. 3. Desperation. 4. Frantic. 5. Back to peaceful, with nothing but the sounds of the wilderness remaining.
I may be speaking into the void, but the fact that we cannot choose the menu themes is sad. The newer ones while being alright (no pit down to the composers) But this one perfectly encapsulates the ENTIRE Long Dark experience.
Not to mention nostalgia, it’s *the* theme, it had a visual intro and everything, it made opening the game exciting, and I would actually sit on the menu listening to the music
Everyone's talking about the campaign but the difficulty sliders have flavor text that gives me goosebumps each time i read it. From the easiest setting saying "Wander the quiet apocalypse to chronicle the passing of an age. This is the poetry of survival" to the hardest saying "You are not part of Mother Nature's plan, and you will bear the full force of her wrath. The true test of Human vs. Nature." "You are not part of Mother Nature's Plan" Fucking Chills everytime.
I wish the sound track would play on the Radio's during the Aurora. that would bring a lot of Immersion to the game. and people would search out Radio's for those nights.
@@DragonFrostFires not quickly when it says will bring down they mean will it stop a charging animal you cant stop a charging moose with it and a wolf can still attack even if shot if unlucky if you shoot a charging bear that will just make it angry
I just feel the song really connects with the game. All the aspects of it. Sad, cold, depressing, tense, fear all of these expressions can be illustrated from this song and that’s what makes it magical.
And yet... there is a thread of energy, hope and spite in there. Because even though you are cold and lonely and hungry, your heart still pumps and your lungs still breathe. And until that changes... there is a chance.
I sometimes start the game just to listen to the music it's so beautiful. This right here and the great fairy's fountain theme from twilight princess always give me chills
Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Don't get me wrong. The new soundtrack for the main menu is amazing, emotional and impactful. But this theme, wintermute. Is a theme that makes you feel the chilling cold as your character slowly succumbs to hypothermia, it makes you feel every single hair standing on your neck when a wolf howls in the distance. It makes finding that Stale Granola bar, tin of banged up peaches, or that rotten deer carcass so much more rewarding when your character is starving to death. Wintermute has been MY soundtrack for this game since the very VERY beginning. Back when The long dark was still in preview. "You might be cold, you might be lonely. But what you are....... is a survivor of the quite apocalypse"
This song was actually my only song I saved to my desktop a few years back (with a shortcut on the main screen) when the game was just out of early access and I really wanted to save it
I legit cannot believe it has been 5 years from the launch of wintermute, i literally was like 10 or 11 when it dropped out and now im 15 listening to this masterpiece again
Definitely see why Jacob Geller opened his video about the fear of cold with this song. This song just embodies the creepy, encroaching terror of freezing to death
This is the theme music of somebodies death. It perfectly captures the futile desperation of the lost survivor, waiting for the fire to burn out, the last food to be eaten, for the first touch of hypothermia, or the bite of the wolf.... knowing that one of these will come, sooner or later...
Ya o kadar iyi ki Herşey birbirleri ile kusursuz bir şekilde uyum içinde O karda o soğukta bize bu mükkemmelliği hissettirmek için yapıcakları empatiyi hayal bile edemiyorum Bence dünyanın en efsanevi şarkısı Edit:melodisi
Genuinely one of the most iconic tracks in gaming. Yes, there's hundred of orchestras and epic battle music. I love those, but so rarely is there this feeling of dread; failing; despair; and melancholy, and it's all wrapped in less than three minutes. I haven't heard anything like it since.
God, its been so long since I last started up the game. I remember though the first time I stumbled across the games big town in open sandbox. Seeing it so vacant was just so eerie. Later, when I played the story mode version and met the old woman, seeing her turned over chair and gun on the ground in sandbox sent shivers down my spine....
For the past year, I've been obsessed that this track and "The Dunwich Borer" from Shadows Over Loathing have the same melody. I'm obsessed with both tracks and they portray the melancholy of hopelessness in such different ways. Fantastic work to both composers fr
Man this song really hits me! I love classical, played chello as a kid and now i truely know why. Its so beautiful and tells all the story you need, no words no bs just beautiful music with every aspect you can expect from a story!!!
At 2018 I discovered the long dark , I watched the trailer and fell in love with the soundtrack, I wanted to get the game so bad , but I had a potato pc, i had to wait for 2020 summer to buy a capable pc, and I was so eager to play the game and listen to the soundtrack myself. There, I bought the pc and I bought the game, only to be surprised that the soundtrack that I was dying to hear changed. I played the game and I loved it, but I was too upset that I didn't get to listen to this ...
Crossroads Elegy and fury then silence soundtracks are both equal as good as wintermute, just vibe with the game, the music appearing as you play is beautiful
It's lovely that this is shared by a German channel. This game and this song is Canadian. It is a song of struggle, of bitterness, but it is ultimately a song of resilience and hope.
The first few seconds really does set you into the mood immediately… you’re cold, alone, and you don’t know how you’ll make it to the next day. As it goes on and the music becomes more tense, it really does sound like a fight for survival like you need to find somewhere to take shelter or you’re trying to hide from a pack of wolves. It also captures the natural beauty of the game as well, with its giant lakes and forests.
Give me chills down my spine. This masterpiece fits the game perfectly, seriously. Never a videogames had made me feel theses kind of emotions, every move or action decide if you pass the night or not.. Maybe the fact of being a northern canadian change my perception of it
I absolutely love the game. its so emotional! also it is kind of like a warning to the major population as to what might happen if we keep this up. game and music deserve top 10.
Playing this game for 5 years. I remember when Mystery Lake was all there was. Pretty cool to see where it's gone. This theme will stick around however!
The terrifying feeling this piece and game express is truly something to me. That humanity in all its hubris and greatness. Will eventually and inevitable face down an opponent that cannot be overcome. Nature. And when we likely go down thrashing at our leaders and fellow men. when the riots stop and the ones strong enough to live on emerge. It will be a quite apocalypse.
My electricity is down, batteries are running out, no internet soon, stores are closing, supplies are running out as well. Used up remaining energies to listen to this music, while imagining life .... before ends
Never more had a theme from a game given me more of an image of pure hopelessness and hope at the same time. Its absolutely breathtaking and awestriking. Never before in a game have I felt that the actions I do are next to meaningless and that all I'm doing is prolonging the inevitable, while at the same time being so hopeful and reinvigorating to fight and claw for my survival for just a few more hours. The Long Dark, since my first time playing it in early access, has been the only game to get such a pure and intertwined connection with the character I play as in survival. Never more have I been so immersed in fighting for my life and never more has there been a theme to perfectly and effortlessly become that link to connect me to such an amazing game. Thank you Hinterland Studio for an amazing game and more importantly an absolutey flawless soundtrack and OST.
It has a "The Corpse Bride" vibe that makes me feel so emotional. It was my favorite movie and geez this game's music is just awesome. I suck at survival games, but I'm having a great time playing it, to be honest.
So beautiful. This just sends chills through my body, and then I realize, OMG where did my hat go? The wolf, it had to be the wolf attack. Sheesh! No wonder I'm cold!
The trouble with him was that he was not able to imagine. He was quick and ready in the things of life, but only in the things, and not in their meanings. Fifty degrees below zero meant 80 degrees of frost. Such facts told him that it was cold and uncomfortable, and that was all. It did not lead him to consider his weaknesses as a creature affected by temperature.
There's 2 ways I see this song The first is that it's a song the embodies hope finally dying but on the other hand, the way I also see it is that it's Hope's final stand and it will prosper.
This song feel so much lonelyness, i can imagine myself stand on top of the signal tower look down what Mother’s Nature did to me like the gameplay did. No one here to help you except you, the pain of the battle between you and wolfs, bears, freeze, thirsty, starving... i saw it in the music. Just kinda awkward that all masterpieces are come from games ?

Exactly... A masterpiece... 100% connected to the game. Couldn't be better.
dont forget loneliness and peacefulness of quiet
And yet... there is a thread of energy, hope and spite in there.
Because even though you are cold and lonely and hungry, your heart still pumps and your lungs still breathe.
And until that changes... there is a chance.
This song made me think about life
The way it builds and swells and is so bittersweet... I listen to it fully every time I start up the game. Beautiful.
Steph U. So do I!!!
and towards the end, a defiant crescendo before The Long Dark consumes all.
I sometimes start the game just to listen to the music it's so beautiful. This right here and the great fairy's fountain theme from twilight princess always give me chills
It really does fit to the game. A slow and peaceful end of the world, humanity just falling asleep in the cold.

This makes the hair stand on my neck every time I go and play the game. Shit is angelic.
The music is what sold this game for me and I still tear up
İnsanın kapalı bir yerinde gizli duygular vardır ve duygular ancak gizli hikayesi olan besteler ile cıkartılınır...
Cok guzel açıkladın cidden diyorum
you faded into the long dark...
This is the best main menu theme in the whole video game history. Stunningly beautiful.
this totally sounds like The Leftovers' Departure
yes!
So beautiful. This just sends chills through my body, and then I realize, OMG where did my hat go? The wolf, it had to be the wolf attack. Sheesh! No wonder I'm cold!
This is the Beautiful survival Adventure. Love it!
Bro how does the long dark's theme manage to sound sad alone and hopeful at the same time it also sounds like rusted apart at some points

What an incredible piece.
Sad Depressing and Beautiful...
This song embodies The Long Dark for me
I’ve been thinking of what this song reminds me of and I finally remembered, A Walk to School from the show Tales from the Loop
I miss this theme so much.
Excellent!!
One of the best themes of all time I used to just sit on the menu screen every time I loaded in
so much pain in one song
This song feel so much lonelyness, i can imagine myself stand on top of the signal tower look down what Mother’s Nature did to me like the gameplay did. No one here to help you except you, the pain of the battle between you and wolfs, bears, freeze, thirsty, starving... i saw it in the music. Just kinda awkward that all masterpieces are come from games ?
Simply amazing piece
Single best theme ever made
Agree wholeheartedly
want this one back.
i could listen all day!
This is the type of art that EA will never make and Bethesda can't make anymore.
