Steam Description: Firewatch is a single-player first-person mystery set in the Wyoming wilderness, where your only emotional lifeline is the person on the other end of a handheld radio.

You may especially enjoy this if you like:

• character-driven mysteries
• games that involve lots of nature (and walking through that nature!)
• choices during dialogue
• voice-acted narratives

Why Firewatch? 💜

• Admittedly, this is one of those ‘indie classics’ that I played waaaay back during launch, but haven’t had the opportunity to revist since. I remember the strong vocal performances, and wanted to see if the story also held up. 😀 Also, it feels like a perfectly themed summer game as the game takes place during the summer.
