Wander the quiet apocalypse to chronicle the passing of an age. This is the poetry of survival.

Pilgrim is the 1st Survival Mode Experience in The Long Dark. It is the standard "easy" difficulty setting.
Overview[]
Pilgrim's difficulty is comparable to a pleasant walk through park on a crisp winter day. Hostile Wildlife always flees in terror from the player unless provoked. Needs are very manageable. Food and resources are highly abundant, and can be easily procured. Overall, the player's survival is almost guaranteed on this Experience.
This game mode is best picked if the player is trying to explore and learn the game world and its mechanics, or if they wish to unlock Achievements, Feats, or Badges without much difficulty.
Wildlife will not attack unless provoked. (All hostile wildlife can still detect the player and walk towards their position, but will flee once the player is fully detected.)
Safe starting condition (indoors, during good weather, in hospitable Region).
