Firewatch [official site] is a masterful and beautiful first-person narrative game in which you play a fire lookout who watches for trouble, becomes embroiled in mystery, and has adult conversations with another adult in ways you control. To quote John’s review, it “expands the possibilities for how a narrative game can be presented, without bombast or gimmick.”
Want to learn more about how it was made? Come along to EGX Rezzed on April 8th and you can find out, as we’ll be quizzing visual director Olly Moss and animator James Benson on stage about how they helped recreate the great American landscape of the Wyoming wilderness from their homes in England.
