You, sad Henry, are standing at the edge of a national park in Wyoming where you’ve taken a summer job as a lookout to watch for accidents or vandalism(s) that could become a whole forest fire out here in this dry crispy heat.

everything fades to black.ĭAY 1 is announced on a loading screen. You take her somewhere she can be looked after. You try to look after her but it gets to the point where she doesn’t even remember who you are. and fuck: a doctor’s appointment reveals early onset dementia. live laugh loving together until Julia gets a teaching job far away… and yeah, it’s ok for a sec, but there’s an incident where she’s out-of-character angry with someone at work. you’ve just met a girl and mistaken her for a student when she’s actually a professor a week later you’re dating, it’s fun now you’re falling in love, picking a dog and talking about the future. It begins as a words-on-screen story with a few brief moments of slice of life action to get you used to the controls. n this is where it took me:įirewatch - and i’m writing with spoilers because this game’s been out for years - was produced by Campo Santo & can be played on many platforms but i went with switch. You know when you make milk for a baby, you squeeze some out of the bottle and onto the inside of your wrist to test the temperature?

So… I played Firewatch, but it is a game that began and ended with questions because, tbh, I didn’t exactly know what I was playing. feeling slow-mo and dazed, not sure which way the words will go. I don’t really know what to do with myself and I know that sounds dramatic (and ay, this is only partly corona’s fault) I played a game that’s rolled my brain flat and burnt the edges of my head.
