Great price for this unusual, enjoyable and fun game.

From the website:

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.

  • A stunningly beautiful wilderness environment that expands as you explore.
  • A tailor-made story: the choices you make shape the narrative and build relationships.
  • An edge-of-your-seat mystery.
    Secrets and discoveries to be made over every hill.
  • 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)
  • A thrilling story and script by Sean Vanaman and Jake Rodkin (The Walking Dead: Season 1, Poker Night at the Inventory)
  • A stirring original soundtrack by Chris Remo (Gone Home)
  • 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)
  • Programming by Will Armstrong (Bioshock II), Ben Burbank (Costume Quest 2, Space Base DF-9), and Paolo Surricchio (Deadpool, Call of Duty Advanced Warfare)

Enjoy!

      I second that. Amazing albeit kind of short experience. Definitely worth 5 bucks imo.

      Have you played The Long Dark? It's a great single player survival game whose art style and pacing is very reminiscent to Firewatch. Less of a linear storyline, but much more playability.

        @joshk yes I have … really good game too

    I got this in a similar steam sale a few months ago and loved it. Expect about 4 hours of playtime and a story you won't soon forget.

  • j4ck on 18/08/2020 - 13:19

    Thanks OP! Keen to play this!

    Lovely experience. Intricate mature game. Great art. Selfishly wanted more, surprised their follow up to this has been so slow

      The got bought out by Valve a few years ago so would have been working on Valve's own projects https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campo_Santo_(company)

      Yeah R.I.P. In The Valley of Gods :( hope they have fun working on DOTA for the rest of time…

      btw does this EVER go on sale for Switch?

      • burns13 on 19/08/2020 - 21:54

        I was excited for Valley of God's. Valve is where development goes to die

  • Librarier on 18/08/2020 - 14:24

    if you enjoy this sort of game, 100% recommend outer wilds for the feeling of having things unveiled slowly as you progress further in before everything just clicks

    Just looked at the playthrough and got engrossed and skimmed through it, but it's not a game I want to play. It'll be disturbing to some, myself included.

      Disturbing how? I finished it but while it does have adult themes, I wouldn't say anything was disturbing.

      • syousef on 12/09/2020 - 14:13

        If you want to put yourself in the shoes of someone going through that, that's up to you. I find it disturbing. You can't invalidate that because it doesn't bother you.
