The Mysterious Lake is one of the main regions in The Long Dark, and the first to be played in an open sandbox. The region is named after a lake that is filled with the Carter Hydro Dam. The region is crossed by a railway, which is mainly used in the summer, supporting local logging and the flow of tourists by the lake.

How to survive in the game for more than 50 days:
It is better to organize your main camp at a tourist base. Take most of the items you find there.
Collect wood from time to time around the camp for a fire. Also, try to collect a lot of matches.
Find a bow and arrow (or craft one). Also pick up all the arrows fired and repair them.
To hunt rabbits, use traps, deer and wolves - bow and arrows, and to catch a bear, you will need a hunting rifle. But be careful, as the clubfoot can kill you with one hit.
Remove skins from animals, dry them, and then craft warm clothes from them.
Go fishing in the lake in the afternoon, wearing warm clothing.
Heat the stove every few days to cook fish and meat supplies and water. The meat must be stored outside, near the camp.
If you are going on a trip to another location, then try to either manage it in one day, or take a supply of water and food with you to spend the night.
