About Firewatch

Firewatch is a narrative adventure game set in the Wyoming wilderness in 1989, where you play Henry, a fire lookout who takes a summer job in a national forest to escape his life. Your only human contact is Delilah, your supervisor, who speaks to you over a handheld radio — and the entire game is built around that conversation. As you patrol the forest, investigate strange events, and follow a mystery that unfolds across the summer, your choices in dialogue shape the relationship between Henry and Delilah. There is no combat and no fail states; the game is a masterclass in atmosphere, with stunning stylized visuals, an evocative soundtrack, and writing that feels painfully real. It takes about four hours to finish, and its emotional, ambiguous ending has been debated by players ever since. It is an essential title for fans of story-driven games.
