Description

Firewatch is a single-player first-person mystery set in the Wyoming wilderness.

The year is 1989. You are a man named Henry who has retreated from his messy life to work as a fire lookout in the Wyoming wilderness. Perched high atop a mountain, it’s your job to look for smoke and keep the wilderness safe. An especially hot, dry summer has everyone on edge. Your supervisor Delilah is available to you at all times over a small, handheld radio—your only contact with the world you've left behind. But when something strange draws you out of your lookout tower and into the forest, you’ll explore a wild and unknown environment, facing questions and making choices that can build or destroy the only meaningful relationship you have.

A Note: Firewatch is a video game about adults having adult conversations about adult things. If you plan on playing with a younger gamer, that might be good to know going in.

  • Secrets and discoveries to be made over every hill.

Featuring

  • Living, breathing characters brought to life by Cissy Jones (The Walking Dead: Season 1) and Rich Sommer (Mad Men)
  • A spectacular wilderness environment by Olly Moss (Illustrator) and Jane Ng (The Cave, Brutal Legend)

  • Fluid first-person animation by James Benson (Ori & The Blind Forest)
  • Gameplay scripting and design work by Patrick Ewing (Twitter) and Nels Anderson (Mark of the Ninja)

Nice game, with a good moral to it
  • Good ambiance
The game is a bit wishy washy, in that it doesn't go very deep and I left kinda unsatisfied since it's not all that interesting. The scenery is nice though?

Overall I think there are far better "exploratory" games. This one is a bit too much reading and not enough actual gameplay
It is just awsome...if you are a fun of mysteries and adventure, you ll love this game....it is a fantastic game...the only thing that i didnt pretty much like is the big story at the beginning :P....
  • Animated graphics
  • Open world game (not exactly)
  • Nice atmosphere (explorer atmosphere)
  • Long discusion at the beginning
