OnlySP: No matter your opinion of the overall game, Firewatch undoubtedly taps into a visceral part of the human psyche. Its story is far from clichéd, which is a good first step in telling a masterful tale. My review of Firewatch, as well as Nick Calandra and my YouTube ending discussion, highlight many of the faults within the gameplay and story alike. Nevertheless, it’s still worth discussing the hidden gems and disappointing plot points found within Firewatch; most notably the stellar dialogue between Henry and Delilah, all over a handheld walkie-talkie. The conversation amongst these two characters is the bulk of the game’s mercurial narration. Taking into account the lackluster gameplay, the dialogue serves as the majority of Firewatch’s appeal as well. I must warn that spoilers follow as we analyze the plot and narration of Camp Santo’s indie adventure title, Firewatch.
