Firewatch is a single-player first-person game in which you play Henry, a man who has retreated from his messy life to work as a fire lookout in the Wyoming wilderness.

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.

What is supposed to be a peaceful respite develops a dark edge when something strange draws you out of your lookout tower and into a wild and unknown environment in which you start to question some of the things that are happening to both you and Delilah.

Although Firewatch is Campo Santo’s first game, its members have worked on such games as Mark of the Ninja, Brutal Legend, The Cave, Bioshock II, and The Walking Dead: Season 1. The game is being published as a joint venture by Campo Santo and Panic Inc.

Firewatch is being developed in Unity with help from the add-on community, and development is still at a fairly early stage. The game will be released sometime in 2015 for Windows, Mac and Linux.

I've been with JA in one capacity or other since 2003. I'm currently website administrator. I'm also a digital artist (my avatar is one of my creations). I write reviews and articles, create graphics and basically help tend the site. It's work I enjoy very much. I love playing games of all kinds, but adventure and RPGs are my favorites (particularly scary/dark/unsettling ones). At the top of my list are The Cat Lady, The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, Still Life (first one only), Scratches and Culpa Innata. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool recluse and prefer the company of animals, hardware and ghosts to human beings (no offense). And no bio would be complete without my saying that I do NOT care for phones of ANY sort. Further, I think Dell computers are garbage and that Microsoft has become megalomaniacal.
