Couldn't find another thread on this one, and I think it will interest a few of you.
Firewatch is a first person mystery / adventure set in an expansive forest. You play the part of a guy on firewatch duty and (from what I've read) gameplay elements include open world exploration with a core narrtive and impacting dialogue choices.

[i]"Firewatch is a mystery set in the Wyoming wilderness, where your only emotional lifeline is the person on the other end of a handheld radio.
In Firewatch you play as a man named Henry who has retreated from his messy life to work as a fire lookout in the Wyoming wilderness. Perched high atop a mountain, it’s your job to look for smoke and keep the wilderness safe. 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.
But when something strange draws you out of your lookout tower and into the world, you’ll explore a wild and unknown environment, facing questions and making interpersonal choices that can build or destroy the only meaningful relationship you have."[/i]

I think theres an awful lot of these kinds of games going about right now, but not a great deal of good ones. This one has me interested, and I really like the art style to boot. Any thoughts?
