On Saturday August 30, 2014, in the framework of the activities of PAX Prime, the Californian study, Campo Santo, revealed Firewatch , a colorful game in first person, which revolves around the adventures of a forest firefighter and his supervisor who communicates with him via radio. The title will debut in 2015 on PC, Mac and Linux.
Judging by the first step, the title will have a slightly caricatured appearance and will involve a dose of climbing, while Henry, the protagonist, monitors the progress of a fire in the forest, which seems to be heading in his direction.
This is the first game of Campo Santo, a company formed by veterans of Telltale Games ( The Walking Dead ), Double Fine ( Brütal Legend ), 2K Marin ( BioShock ) and Maxis ( The Sims ), so the expectation is high.
About Firewatch:
Firewatch is a single-player first-person video game where you, as a man named Henry, explore the Wyoming wilderness after taking a summer job as a fire lookout. What is supposed to be a peaceful respite from your complicated life takes a turn when you start to question some of the things that are happening to you. Your only human connection is over a handheld radio, which you’ll use to speak with Delilah, your supervisor, about the things both of you are experiencing.
