Campo Santo Reveal Firewatch, and You Have to See This

by Adam Cook on August 31, 2014

Sometimes a video (the saying is picture, but come with me on this) can say a thousands words, and rather than waste your time will waffle, here are the facts:

At PAX 2014, Campo Santo Productions have announced their game, Firewatch, coming to PC, Mac, and Linux.

Firewatch is a mystery set in the Wyoming wilderness, where your only emotional lifeline is the person on the other end of a handheld radio.

In Firewatch you play as 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 and dry summer has everyone on edge. Your supervisor, a woman named Delilah, is available to you at all times over a small, handheld radio — and is your only contact with the world you’ve left behind.

But when something strange draws you out of your lookout tower and into the world, you’ll explore a wild and unknown environment, facing questions and making interpersonal choices that can build or destroy the only meaningful relationship you have.

Watch the trailer, and then tell us if you’re as excited to experience this one as we are…
