About

An unusual mix of adventure and idle game. In utter loneliness deep below the surface, it's your task to wait for the awakening of your king... for 400 days. Play as a lonely Shade, 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 might. It is your duty to stay in the earthen palace until he awakens. As soon as you start, the game inevitably counts down the 400 days - even when you stop playing and exit the game. It is now up to you to decide what to do with your solitary existence beneath the soil. Don't stress yourself, you have plenty of time.

    The Longing is an idle-slash-point-and-click game that ideally takes 400 days in real time to finish. You can speed things up by triggering certain events in a little over a month, but the deliberately slow pace offers plenty of room for interesting discoveries about the meaning of life in a profound but unpretentious way. Play the game if you've got the time to spare, or if you simply need to be reminded of the lost art of patience in this fast-paced world we live in today.
