Firewatch Looks To Be Mesmerising

Now this is a beautiful game that has popped up out of nowhere, called Firewatch. Basically, in this game, you play as a fire lookout ranger who has to keep an eye out for forest fires and report any unusual sightings he may find. However, it isn’t their job to protect the forest from the fire, but to be there when it happens.

The first trailer introduces us to the characters, and the dangerous scenarios that may unexpectedly take place if we are not careful. The game looks absolutely beautiful and has a slight case of the Pixar aesthetics (i.e. Blocky Hands). Not much is known about the game at the moment except that it will release for PCs running Windows, Mac or Linux sometimes in 2015, and will feature a compelling mystery to solve.

Lastly, be sure to watch the trailer above, and if you like the theme that plays during it, consider supporting the composer Chris Remo by buying the track at Firewatch‘s bandcamp page!
