Explore a whole new adventure with The Longing, a Adventure game created by Application Systems Heidelberg Software GmbH. Experience great gameplay with BlueStacks, the most popular gaming platform to play Android games on your PC or Mac.
The Longing is a strange, cozy, super patient adventure where a tiny Shade waits 400 real-time days for a sleeping king to wake up. The clock never stops. It keeps counting when the game is closed, when the PC is off, when someone forgets about it for a week. That sounds intense, but it is not stressful. There is no fail state breathing down your neck, no chase scenes, just a slow world that moves at its own pace while the player decides how to spend the wait.
Walking is slow on purpose, which makes every little discovery feel deliberate. The Shade can poke around a huge hand-drawn cave, gather odd items, and turn a bare little room into something warm. There are shelves to fill with books, and the game actually lets the Shade read complete classics inside it. Some paths only open after real time passes, so a door might become reachable next week, or a drop of water might make a ledge climbable after a long while. Secrets hide in corners that are easy to miss, and choices can lead to different endings, including the risky idea of ignoring the king and pushing toward the surface.
It looks like a sketchbook come alive, and the moody dungeon synth soundtrack just sits in the background without shouting for attention. On PC with BlueStacks it is nice to leave the Shade walking to a far-off spot, check in now and then, and let that strange, lonely feeling grow on its own. There is no hurry here, only curiosity and time, lots of time.
