Introduction
Firewatch is a story orientated title with a hefty focus on hiking, pairing the exploration of the story with your own understanding and experience of the environment. The game relies heavily on the conversations held between you and Delilah, both firewatchers for the local forest reserve, you being the new guy. With nothing but a radio in order to communicate between each other, you'll have a vast array of options within the conversation portion, as well as a fairly large map to explore at the same time. All the while, you'll be uncovering twists and turns in the story as you try to make sense of everything that's happening as you try to do the job you're employed to do. It's a bit of an emotional experience, but it's a seriously fulfilling one.
