This is paired with fully voiced story (including a role for Rich Sommer of Mad Man fame). It captures what it's like to be a forest lookout in real life. The game is beautiful to look at and explore. It's a theme that applies to the watchful role of the forest lookouts as well as our main character's relationship with his mentally ill wife. "Somethings we can't stop from happening," one of the characters says in the game. While many games put you in powerful positions, Firewatch is about powerlessness and empathy. You slowly uncover a story about loneliness, mental health and catharsis in a grand, sun-drenched landscape. A relationship evolves between the two of them through just these interactions. As you talk on the radio to your controller, you learn more about your character. It has a relational and conspiracy undertone similar to the podcast/radio drama and Netflix show Homecoming. Firewatch is an explorative adventure where you play a fire lookout in America’s Shoshone National Forest.
