The Long Dark shitter dump!

Here are some beauties I’ve waited a while to pass on to you, for various reasons: I’ve been busy, and I forgot about them. But The Long Dark is not an entirely forgettable game and I’m pleased to finally share these shitters that were rusting in my files. They’re from 2019, JESUS!! I’m sorry I neglected you, you’re wonderful shitters and have no reason to hide. These are not Shitters Of The Wild, they’re from the optional story. It’s special that the shitters were written into the scenery here. You can get water from the toilet and boil it, would not recommend unless you are desperate and have sterilization tablets.

The first is simply labelled “Restroom” and can be used by anyone left alive after the mysterious Geomagnetic Disaster that freezer burnt the whole world. In our second image we see a shitty end for a bloke who for some reason picked the least comfortable place to die, or maybe he was doing first aid and his brain told him this was the cleanest place to be? Not likely in this scenario, but it does speak to the fact that in your final hour, shitters mean dearly-sought comfort. Final image looks at first not so nice, but think about all the crap you get in this one room. The newspaper is kindling, there’s definitely protein bars in those lockers, and there’s nobody else left alive to object if you wanted to leave a parting gift in the bowl that will never flush.

Mystery Lake Outhouse!

Finding bathrooms is always the best part of playing any game, and I was pleased when I located this outhouse next to a cabin near Mystery Lake. It can be found on the western edge of the map, north of the Trapper’s Homestead. Its green door is very attractive. Sadly, it seems that shitters in The Long Dark are mere aesthetic props added for ambience, as this outhouse could not be entered, nor interacted with in any way.
