Description

Firewatch is a single-player first-person mystery set in the Wyoming wilderness. (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.) (GRAPHICS NOTE: dedicated graphics are required for a smooth experience. Mac Pros, 5K iMacs, and 15" MacBook Pros 2014 or newer are recommended.) 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. INCLUDES • 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. FEATURING • 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)

  • So Frustrating

    By somebunny
    I can see how this game could be very satisfying but the controls on a macbook are so frustrating. I've spent more time on goole searching for answers, changing my configurations (and still not being able to access all the functions) and then dealing with systems crashes more than I've gotten to play the game. For a click game at 20$ I definately expected it to run a lot smoother. I really research the games I purchase, no one wants to just throw money away.

  • Good but short

    The game itself is pretty entertaining, but 1. The conclusion doesn't make a ton of sense and for $20 its really short. I enjoyed it, but finished it in 2 sittings...I expected more for the price...

  • Not for Mac Book Air!

    Please make this more clear. I am new to gaming and just wasted $20. Wish I could return. Won't make mistake again,. ie. My foray into gaming is over!

  • Fun Game, But Disapointing

    I read a lot of reviews that warned me, but I decided to try it anyway. It was a really fun game, but overall it was disapointing and I was left feeling a bit let down. I played this for a couple hours per night, and finished the game in only 2 days. The storyline was decent, but lacked good depth. The map is cool, it doesnt seem too small. The gameplay is a bit clunky, but not to the point that you dont want to play. For $20, I expected more.

  • great game

    I wish the game had a diffrent ending. The choice you make all end the same. But over all this is 5 star game.

  • Prepare for frustration - Not an open world.

    Firewatch looks like it has decent storywriting. I'd like to think the story would be worth the pain involved in moving around the environment. I can hear music, but I can't simply go to the source. I suspect people are sunbathing(?) at the top of the ridge nearby, but I can't simply jump to a decent path, or get a 'blocked path' message. I don't mind solving puzzles, but this game is filled with artificial constraints that will drag you out of the story to wonder "what in the world were the devs thinking?"

  • Awsome Game, coudlve been longer

    This game was great had awsome story and was just really fun. I think however it couldve had a deeper plot to it as the story gets introduced and ends rather quickly. Maybe an extended edtion in the future???

    I’m not a big gamer, but I was looking for something to download and occupy time while offline something besides my books. i wanted something similar to Myst. This was nice. Good price point. Interesting storyGreat graphics. I had no trouble using on my 2018 MacBook Air. I would buy another similar game.

  • Fail

    Everything is very cool and great until I go to unlock Box 306. There is no way to get it to Open. Campo Santo's help desk is non existent. Any forums I read don't help either. So within 15 minutes of play I am stuck. Waste of money.

  • Please help!

    I just downloaded this game and I really want to enjoy it, but there is a huge lag in my controls. Even when on the menu the mouse is incredibly sluggish, and it makes it difficult to play. Even when standing still, everything seems jittery and not smooth. I played around with the graphics settings a bit but nothing seemed to solve the issue. Please help! Also, your support site is down.
