The thing is, I kept expecting Firewatch to throw some kind of supernatural twist my way. Add to this the disappearance of a guy and his son who worked here before you and the finding of what looks like a government research lab and you have all the ingredients for an episode of The X-Files! All In Your Mind
#FIREWATCH GAME PLOT SERIES#
A meeting with some teenage girls setting off fireworks starts a series of events that have you questioning if there is some kind of supernatural element to what is going on here.

This is not a horror game by any means, but I think the game does a great job of making you feel uneasy and unsure about what is going on. He communicates with his supervisor Delilah and you get to shape the way the conversation goes. The game takes place in Wyoming in the late 80s and we play as a guy called Henry who has taken a job working as a fire lookout in the forest. Henry The LookoutĪs Firewatch is a game that heavily relies on its story I do have to be careful about what I say here.

Do not get me wrong, this is a perfectly serviceable first-person adventure game, but the story is the main reason this is worth experiencing. This is a game for those of you that enjoy more story than gameplay in your games. I remember when Firewatch came out I got so into it that I ended up playing through it all in one sitting! I pulled an all nightery as I was so invested in what was going on and needed to know what the mystery of this shadowy figure and government research lab was all about.
