About this app
The Longing 400 day 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.
Choose your playing style
Start the game and simply come back after 400 days to see how it ends. You actually don't have to play the game at all. But the Shade will be even more lonely without you.
Or explore the caves and collect items for your comfortable underground living room. Just send the Shade to take a stroll - the walking speed is slow, but luckily there is no need to hurry.
Read tons of classic literature from Nietzsche to Moby Dick right in the game - or at least have the shade read them. After all, time goes by faster if you learn to keep your mind occupied.
Ignore the king's commands and advance to the outer regions the cave. It will be a long and dangerous journey into darkness...
Features
• Slow exploration of a vast, hand-drawn cave.

User Reviews
Will not work on Pixel 10 Pro XL. I have tried all the troubleshooting stuff that came up when I googled about it. It just starts but it freezes as soon as you try to play. I wasn't able to get even a minute into the game in all the times I tried to play it. It's a shame, it looked like a cool game. I still put 2 stars because at least it froze at the very beginning instead of at the end of the game. That would have been much worse.
I saw others were giving this game one star and had to buy it. I love this game so much that despite 100% this game on Steam, I would gladly play it again on mobile. The character has a slow pace, the game takes many in real life days, weeks, months to progress certain events. It's not for everyone, but it is a really good game if you have the patience!
When I saw this available in the Play Store, I bought it without a seconds hesitation. I played long enough to get to the Halls of Eternity without encountering any glitches, though the first time I tried to open the game, I had a spot of trouble. Now it works great. The game is very atmospheric and is about patience and reward. This is a fantastic exploration game. It's the most unique gaming experience I've had since I played Broken Reality on Steam.
A masterpiece of an idle game. The atmosphere, exploration, and loneliness is amazing. The secrets it contains, entire books that can be read, go far beyond what any idle game I've ever experienced. I played to the end twice. Make it 400 days, 100 days, or reverse time to day one, you can go about it however you want. Yes you walk at a very slow pace, but speed differs depending on you. It's all very intentional and adds to the Longing to arrive at any given location. Incredible experience!
