Revisiting The Long Dark. I would call it a survival immersive sim. It has a story mode and sandbox mode, I have only ever played the sandbox. Your plane crashes during a huge solar storm that knocks out all electronics. There were also some geomagnetic issues, landslides, and earthquakes. There are several open world regions to pick, some are easier to explore than others. You have to manually map out each area as you travel while trying to stay warm, rested, fed, and hydrated. There are guns but ammo is scarce. Hunting is in the game but most of your food for a while will be scavenging supplies from the structures and cars around each region. The goal is simply to survive as long as possible and explore as much as you can. Each night there is a chance of an aurora which, mysteriously, causes electricity to come back to structures. It also has some spoopy effects on the environment.

They're doing a sequel next year called Blackfrost. Looks like it will have a lot of good QoL features (TLD is 10 years old) and improved mechanics.

Oooh great game. I usually feel the need to start a run thru in late fall or winter. It's so hard but kind of cozy in a way
