Description
The year is 1989. You are Henry, a man 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.
Firewatch is a single-player first-person mystery developed by Campo Santo. It is a game about isolation, the beauty of nature, and the complexity of human connection. Your only contact with the world you’ve left behind is your handheld radio, which connects you to your supervisor, Delilah. 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.
The Other End of the Line
-
A Narrative Driven by Choice: The core of Firewatch is the conversation. You choose what to tell Delilah—and what to keep to yourself. Your responses will shape her perception of you and determine the tone of your summer together.
-
Emotional Storytelling: Experience a mature, adult story that tackles themes of guilt, responsibility, and escape, brought to life by Cissy Jones (The Walking Dead) and Rich Sommer (Mad Men).
Lost in the Wilderness
-
Stunning Art Style: Explore a vibrant, stylized recreation of the Shoshone National Forest. The game’s distinct visual identity captures the golden light of sunset, the deep shadows of the canyons, and the hazy atmosphere of a hot summer.
-
Realistic Navigation: There are no flashing waypoints or mini-maps here. To get around, you must use a standard paper map and a handheld compass. Learn the landmarks, check your bearings, and find your own way through the woods.
A Quiet Mystery
-
Unravel the Truth: What starts as a peaceful job quickly turns into something unsettling. Someone has been in your tower. Strange equipment is found in the woods. Is it just campers, or is something more sinister happening?
