The Longing-ist Playthrough: Day 30 – 30/01/22 – 310 Days, 14 Hours, 17 Minutes and 21 Seconds to go…
*** Looking to catch up with the adventure? ***
As I put my part-baked theory to the test, there was little chance that I could look to achieve much on Day 30. It all hinged on whether Monty had become lonely enough to have become invisible to the darkness, but after just one night alone in the dark, I feared I was jumping the gun.
The Longing-ist Playthrough: Day 29 – 29/01/22 – 312 Days, 5 Hours, 8 Minutes and 3 Seconds to go…

Day 29 was an incredibly brief affair indeed – another very busy day in real life meant that I couldn’t spend much time with Monty again, but I was beginning to think that that might not have been a bad thing after all…
I rejoined Monty and found that he had polished off the book and was raring to go with the day… Curb that enthusiasm, big man – you might not be too keen on this next idea. I had been thinking overnight about the advice that the [Face in the Wall] gave me about overcoming the darkness; it sounded like I needed to make Monty even more lonely in order to make him invisible to the thing up there… I wonder if…

*** Looking to catch up with the adventure? ***
While the events of yesterday had shaken me a little, they had certainly injected some excitement into my play after a week or so of struggling with the same old problem. Despite a renewed vigour about my explorations below the mountain, I had a lot of real-world commitments on Day 28, so I thought I’d just have a look around to see if my encounter had changed anything in the kingdom rather than look to progress any further.
I turned on the Switch and was relieved to see Monty safe and sound at [home], showing no ill-effects following his run-in with the [Eyes in the Dark]. The first place I wanted to check on was the [treasure room] – the place had been annoying me by not allowing me to try and break the glass and I wondered if I was now able to try again.

*** Looking to catch up with the adventure? ***
With ideas running short and my patience almost entirely depleted, Day 27 felt like a pivotal moment in my time beneath the mountain. Another failure today and I just knew that I’d struggle to muster up the encouragement to keep coming back for more punishment for a while and I might need a break from Monty in order to guarantee I could continue in the long run. Thankfully, it never came down to that…
I fired up my Switch and then fired up Monty.. Let’s goooooooooo! The long walk to the [mushroom mines] was a slow and dull one (as it always is), but I could feel myself getting nervous as we neared the [tall ledge]… What if it’s not grown again and I’ll have wasted yet another day… Monty made it to the high tunnel and I took a deep breath as I asked him to start walking…

*** Looking to catch up with the adventure? ***
With only one task one my mind and the rest of the kingdom all but forgotten, Day 26 was a pretty black and white day. It would be boom or bust. Success or failure. Win or lose. The entire length of my play session depended on what happened in the [mushroom cave] – I had no idea how long I’d be playing when I picked up my Switch, but I prayed it was going to be an exciting evening of exploration…
The Longing-ist Playthrough: Day 25 – 25/01/22 – 335 Days, 21 Hours, 43 Minutes and 30 Seconds to go…
*** Looking to catch up with the adventure? ***
Day 25 was a very busy one for real-life Drew, and so I barely had a moment to spare for Monty until really rather late in the evening. As such, I only managed a few short minutes with him, but did get chance to check up on the mushroom trampoline and see how things were progressing… *SPOILER ALERT* It wasn’t going well. Again.
