The Longing v1.8.0

An unusual mixture of adventure and idling. Play as a lonely shadow, the last servant of a king who once ruled an underground kingdom. The king’s powers have faded and he falls asleep for 400 days to regain his strength. Your duty is to stay at the Earth Palace until he wakes up. Once you start, the game will inevitably start counting down 400 days, even if you stop playing and exit the game. Now it’s up to you to decide what to do with your lonely existence underground. Don’t worry, you have plenty of time.

Choose your playstyle: Launch the game and just come back after 400 days to see how it ends. In fact, you don’t need to play the game at all. But without you, the shadow will be even more lonely. Or explore caves and collect items for your cozy underground living room. Just send the shadow for a walk – the walking speed is slow, but, fortunately, there is no hurry. Read tons of classic literature from Nietzsche to Moby Dick right in the game – or at least have a shadow read it. Because time flies faster when you learn to be busy. (The small shadow in the game will ONLY find English books for now.) Ignore the king’s orders and head to the outer areas of the cave. It will be a long and dangerous journey into darkness…
