From a window, he can see in the distance the tower on the next mountain which is manned by a flirtatious warden called Delilah. Employed to keep a lookout for fires and be a park warden, he is all alone. Players take control of Henry as he starts a two-day hike to his new home in a rickety-looking tower. By 1989 Julia is being cared for by her parents in Australia and Henry has attempted to escape from his unhappy situation by taking a job as a Fire Watcher at the Two Forks Lookout in the Shoshone National Forest, Wyoming. They get married and after several reasonably happy years, Julia is struck down by early-onset dementia which then develops into Alzheimer’s Disease. We learn about the first meeting with his future wife Julia in a bar in 1975 and can make choices every few screens to fill in details about their relationship. The game begins with the back story of the main character Henry. Strap on your backpack and a pair of tight eighties shorts and let’s go hiking in the Xbo圎ra Retro Review of Firewatch.
I have fond memories of my first playthrough several years ago and the chance to live in a Fire Lookout Tower in the middle of nowhere is more appealing than ever in these first weeks of 2022. Having just arrived on Xbox Game Pass this seems like an ideal time to go through it again and see whether it still stands up. Although the game was positively received generally and praised in many areas the ending was criticised by some reviewers. Developed by Campo Santo and released in 2016, Firewatch went on to sell 2.5 million copies within two years and is fondly thought of by many an Indie gamer.
