As the game goes on, you and Delilah continue your conversations about everything and anything. This is the point where the game starts skipping time, going between days and weeks of actually playing as Henry.
You simply find a few boards, get everything nailed down, and continue on with the game.
Day Three starts out with you fixing your broken window from the naked teenage girls back on the first day. Thankfully the game autosaves at regular intervals, so I was only a couple minutes behind and didn’t lose much progress. As soon as the loading symbol finished, my game crashed on me and I had to load up an old save. When you get to the wire, you find shit’s cut, and those pesky teenage girls left their underwear there to taunt you! How dare they! You ask Delilah what to do, and she suggests we scare the shit out of them! Good thinking! After some detectiving and beer can trail discovering, you find a mysterious fence that blocks off a rather large area.what could be in there? But, instead of hopping the fence and finding out, you just continue on your way until you find the girls camp.only to find that the girls were already attacked! Oh no! Maybe it was bears! You find a note where the girls state their revenge, get back to your tower, and go to sleep! Woo! Good second day! Onto Day Three! Here is where I hit my first technical issue, and only crash of the game. Then there’s Day Two, where you find out that some phone lines have been downed! Oh no! So.we go out on a little trek to find the downed line and see what’s going on. They get all mad, run away, no problems right? On your way back, you find a strange guy flashing his flashlight at you, no big deal, arrive at your tower to find shit’s broke probably because of the naked girls who radio you destroyed, and go to sleep! Good first day! So of course, using your amazing directional skills, you trek out to a lake where some teenage girls are skinny dipping.and you proceed to toss their stereo in the lake. This is the meat of Firewatch, your conversations with Delilah. Julia, Javier, random stuff that has little relevance. On Day One, after your first night at the watchtower, Delilah tells you she spots some fireworks in the distance! Oh no! That could start a fire! Delilah tells you to find them and fuck them up, so that’s your job! As you go along, you and Delilah talk about your lives. You tell her when you see fires, she calls them in, bam, that’s the job. Delilah is your only correspondence throughout the game. You meet Delilah, AKA Bae, when she creepily tells you that she can see you! Ah! A stalker!.or just a radio.person. You arrive at your destination, a lone watchtower with a bed, some supplies, and a radio. Firewatch uses cartoonish, cel-shaded graphics that manages to give the game that simplistic yet gorgeous view throughout the forest and mountainous areas that you're supposed to watch for fires.Īnd this is where the games begin. Eventually things grow distant, Julia’s parents take her away to Australia and Henry takes a job in the paper…to watch fires. She has troubles at work, troubles at home. Julia discovers she has early onset dementia. The “game” then continues on the story of your life with Julia moving in together, getting a dog, getting married, talking about kids, getting a new job.and then the feels come in.
Being the romantic man that I am, I went for the pretty choice, and things just branch off from here. You start out by meeting the love of your life, Julia, and come across your first choice: Asking her what her “you know, major” is, or telling her she’s pretty. The game starts out with just a few conversations and text choices detailing the early life of one of the main characters, Henry. He goes up to that hottie, and just outright says “You’re pretty”.At least, that’s how I started out my playthrough of Firewatch. When he sees a hot chick in the bar, he doesn’t pull out some devilish pickup line, he doesn’t have a wingman. No low-effort or clickbait style posts.Firewatch is an interactive story about a middle aged man named Henry.If the thumbnail contains spoilers please mark it as NSFW.In Firewatch you’ll explore a wild and unknown environment, facing questions and making interpersonal choices that can build or destroy the only meaningful relationship you have. Firewatch is a single player first person game in production being developed by indie studio, Campo Santo.The game is currently released for PC, Mac, Linux, Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch.
