The Long Wait
Game synopsis
Deep underground, boundless solitude. The King sleeps, and you must wait for him to awaken—wait... 400 days.
The underground kingdom was once ruled by a King whose power has now faded; he must sleep soundly for 400 days to recover. You are called "Shadow," the King's last servant. You must keep watch alone over the subterranean palace until the King awakens.
Once the game begins, the 400-day countdown starts. Even if you quit the game, the countdown will not stop.
You are the lonely Shadow underground—you can do whatever you want. No need to fret; your time is more than ample.
【How you play is up to you】
You can start the game once, then come back 400 days later to see the ending. In other words, you could skip experiencing any of the game's other content entirely. But without you, "Shadow" will become a truly lonely shadow.
Or explore the various caves, collect all kinds of items, and place them in a cozy underground living room. Go out for a leisurely stroll—no rush, no need to hurry.
Read all sorts of classic literature, such as Nietzsche's works, or Moby-Dick—or have Shadow read them. Whoever does the reading, thinking always makes time pass a little faster.
Ignore the King's warnings and venture outside the caves. You will embark on a dangerous and lengthy journey, and endless darkness awaits...
【Features】
• Explore vast hand-drawn caves at a relaxed pace.
• A richly atmospheric Dungeon Synth soundtrack.

地底王国原本由一位国王统治,他的力量现已消逝,需要安睡400天才能恢复。你名叫“影子”,是国王最后的仆人。你必须独守地下宫殿,直到国王醒来为止。
游戏一旦开始,400天的倒计时便会启动。即便你退出游戏,倒计时也不会停止。
你是地下孤独的影子,想做什么就能做什么。不用焦虑,你的时间非常充裕。
【游戏怎么玩,由你来决定】
你可以启动一次游戏,然后400天之后来看游戏的结局。也就是说,你其实完全可以不体验游戏的其他内容。不过,没有了你,“影子”将会成为名副其实的孤独的影子。
或者探索各个洞窟,收集各种各样的物品,放在惬意的地下客厅。出去悠闲地走一走,不用着急,也用不着匆忙。
阅读各类经典名著,例如尼采的著作,又如《白鲸》,或者让影子阅读。不论谁读,反正动脑子的时候,时间总会过得快一点。
无视国王的告诫,前往洞穴外面的地方。你将踏上危险而又漫长的旅程,等待你的将是无尽的黑暗……
