I just checked out this trailer and it's a game called Lost watch and it definitely has fire watch vibes. I need this, there needs to be more games of firewatch but I'll take this.

Hey All. I have a question.. I am on a replay of the game after many many years away from it, and I noticed the boombox at the lake just.. wasn't there. The teens were there and such, but not the boombox. Was it taken out of the game, or did I cause it to show up some how?

Frankly, when I first played this game many years ago, I was too young to be playing it and couldn't fully appreciate it. As one hopefully does with age, though, I have developed more into what I enjoy in life and games. I played through it again tonight (commentator version) and I enjoyed every second of it, as though I had never previously been knowledgeable of its existence. Each tape was great, even if Delilah was trying to interrupt my podcast time. You can tell that love was poured into this game, and I experienced that love profoundly. It has left me with a lasting feeling of longing; for what the characters lives were like before and after this storyline, and for a wilderness retreat- preferrably a less "negatively" life-changing one. Such an amazing game and I felt myself being envious of missing the creation of it. Still as great as I remember it and more, 10/10🫂

In my first playthrough i needed around 4 hours to get to the ending and i enjoyed the dialouge and really started getting afraid by the "stalkers". I was disappointed by both, who the stalker was and that mc and delilah didnt get together. In the end the story was "some kid fell and died so his crazy father terrorizes random firewatch workers". The gameplay obviously was boring, classic walking sim and the world is not as beautiful as everybody claims. Just look at a random spot in sea of thieves for example and its equally beautiful. Visuals dont save this game.

In the commented version i only needed like 1.5 hours, because i knew where to walk. They praised every aspect of their game in a way that makes them sound like they think they created the next gta. Hilarious.

Dont get me wrong, its not awful, but its also not good. 4/10 max.

Is there any games that's f2f ironbark lookout and firewatch games? I have played games i mentioned.

Some of you may remember me, I posted here last September about the demo and got a relatively warm reception, so now I want to share that my game Escape the Beach has finally released today!

What is the game about? You find yourself on a tropical beach that you have to escape. There is a female narrator guiding you through the whole experience, asking you questions (multiple-choice like in Firewatch) and making you inspect different objects on the beach. The game gets into surreal and philosophical territory. You also get to learn a lot about the narrator herself.

Be warned though that unlike Firewatch, there is only one environment (the beach), and there are no other people to interact with in the game. I'm selling it for a low price so I hope more people give it a chance!

Hey!

One of my friends used to paint shoes as a hobby, but took a little break. Now, she's started again. Look at these Vans she painted for me. We immediately took some photos of them. How cool is that?!
Photos in the post.

I went to Jasper National Park last week and bought this magnet. It was a really cool find because it’s so reminiscent of the vibes of the game. It was also a bit sad because the town and the park are still recovering from a forest fire 2 years ago.

I played this game waaaaaay back when and LOVED IT. Played it again this week and thought to myself "wait, how did he manage to get that gig?" Did he have some sort of nature preservation degree other experience? Was there a dire need of lookouts? (if it was implied somewhere, I missed it.) Didn't seem he had every done something like this before.
I'm not trying to tear apart the plot - I think it's great! But in my own head, I was curious of the likelihood of being able to take a job like that without a relative background. (Even the Tower 4 podcast has a guy who applied with zero related experience). Not sure if this was a kind of job anyone (in fiction) could wander up to and get, or if that was in fact how the volunteering aspect work at that time.

Just finished the game for the first time. I waited years to play it and was very excited to do so. It costed 20€ and i finished it in two days. I think the storytelling was lazy and forced. Also the ending? Such a let down

But the question is: im i missing something? Is there something i could've done differently to make it more interesting and not disappointing? Please tell me im very open to being wrong abt this!!!

Just me?

So I'm on my second play through trying to get to day 2 so i can get the "Love Turts" Achievement, and i notice that during the cut scene where i take the paper out of the type writer its just pitch black with no texture, I'm wondering if this is a lighting issue or its just that, does this happen to anybody else?

First of all, what a game. Really enjoyed the whole journey, and even the ending.

However I had some suggestions I'll be mailing to the devs as well, though I can't find an email address on their site.

These mainly have to do with the free roam mode -

1) Please please please add in the camera. I know it would somewhat diminish the whole "we mail your photos to you" thing, but please do consider it. I'm a hobbyist photographer and this game really really scratches that itch with the photography mechanism. Henry can just take out a new spool of film when 24 shots are over (although that makes it less of a disposable camera and more of a film point and shoot, but pleaseee!). I know I can just take a screenshot, but the photography mechanism feels so much nicer. Maybe Henry can actually carry more than one disposable camera, and that switches after 24 shots. Whatever it is, it'll be cool.

It's funny, I've always shot digital irl, but this game actually made me want to buy a dispo camera or atleast a film camera, because of how choosy you have to be.

2) I quickly found out that there are a few interface thingies which sort of interrupt the relaxing experience that free roam is supposed to be - the music icon mainly, along with the text on vistas and the waterfall and similar spots. They make for such nice pictures, but the text doesn't go away.

I know that's probably kind of long but it is what it is.

Anyway, I did really like the game. The scenery was nice and the story was very engaging.

However, Henry is a pussy and Delilah is a hoe.

Again I did enjoy playing.

I also loved Stray (10/10) and Lake.

I know these three seem a little all over the place but can y'all recommend any other games for me? I have an Xbox One.

I know there are diff small ways someone can shape Henry as a character with their ingame choices, but it never sat right with me that the records made for Wapiti Station describe Henry as easily being manipulated and Delilah as not.

Even if you made Henry to be slightly paranoid, most of his choices still make him out to be the one who wants to get to the bottom of the situation, and Delilah to be someone easily influenced or someone who would rather not get into a mess, even if it means finding answers. To me, that sounds like if someone wanted to manipulate Henry so that he would not try to find out their operation, it would not work, because Henry would just want to get to the bottom of things. To me, that is not being easily manipulated, even if Henry was a more passive person.

So to me it sounds like the game equates being witty, the way Delilah is, with being not easily manipulated, while my boy Henry is here doing all he can to find out who is spying on him and Delilah, while she is like ''Henry idk what to say, I think you are looking too hard into this''. That is someone easily manipulated, if you asked me

i thought the game ending would be similar to until dawn, where ur choices and "evidence" affected the ending. or did i just missed it in the credits?

also its kinda underwhelming it just kinda ended?

I feel stupid I didn’t play it sooner, yes it’s a walking simulator, the visuals aren’t realistic but the style is absolutely outstanding as is how engaging the story of the game is and you almost go into a tunnel vision when playing it and real world time slips away.

I have to ask is there even any other games out there like this?

I just feel so sad. I finished the game 10 minutes ago, coping so hard that I would see Delilah. This is the only game ever where I stopped watching a YouTube video telling its story to play it myself, and after 5 little hours (more than most players I know) it's gone and the experience ended. The whole story is a masterpiece but this ending made me ragequit lol. Idk what I expect from this post, I just want to talk about it with other fans to make it last just a little bit longer. Thx !

I’m stuck in a tree in the scout camp. I’ll have to restart the fishing day to get out. :(

Honestly, I’m quite a few hours in and I have yet to make anything that I would remotely consider a game-like decision.

If this whole thing is just an on-rails written story that I just experience while tediously looking for climbable rocks and narrow paths, please let me know and I’ll move onto something else.

If there’s an actual game somewhere here coming up, let me know and I’ll push through.

The voice acting , the scenery, and the story setting are all admittedly very nice, kudos to the team, but I don’t see anything resembling a participative game yet where my decisions matter.

I love played the game like 5 times. I’m playing it all in one night right now. It’s so beutiful and emotional and I want more ugh.

Atleast this game make me feels there are people outside who like to talk, which I am mostly quiet, even doesn't like to open up. Feels like this is in the middle of death stranding and specs ops the line. Haha made me realise how compass and map works out without gps, which I didn't figure out in my entire life, most of game are like point where you wanna go. I wanna explore like that go w just map and compass not in caves lol, I hate darkness more like scared and get sleep paralysis. There are no short cut to go if I go through, game doesn't notice to begin the cutscene which I like it. So I need to go all the way around. I hate the new compass beep thing which covers most of North, west thing. Am so bad at that but somehow survived alone.

He doesn't even know how to deal with his problem but it still stay even he reach outside there. And she like the way to help people and trust people. Like to talk about which dealia ( forgot the name ) like, she likes about trees and hiking. Finding the small flower pot in her toilet makes me happy lol. Idk much about ned and son, how they come and why she feels sad how they connected, should have been remember at first, I always forgot what's the point of the story but I know what they going through. Lol I thought the game having bug after getting the key for the cave and going there; animation of wiggle of the rocks isn't working there. Cause I didn't take the walkie talkie at my lookout. Just incept and gone to cave. The kid loves the dinosaurs make me smile which I love about. Game should have put some more musics too felt only 4 or 3, only turn on music after finding the boy before that just vibe w joji.

Am bad at memorizing . Games are to point out the purpose of story and makes us know the character and details. Most of the game are like 10 minute of sm story and lore then, feels there's no life in there. I tried edit of finch, that voiceover making me throwup sm. Somehow I finished it, only like the bathtub and fish cut part. Am sorry this is the only single pic I took, forgot to take more. I like the artstyle. Not a good explainer but I wish I can talk to someone who likes game as me through words not by text. And buys the plushies or dress of the games which I can't find it here. I never write reviews this long only this make me, I mostly finish the game and look another that's whole time. I hate when the mc is quiet feels like I am mute or smthg. I growup playing games and but I never have the opportunity for explain to anyone, I just keep it myself and the characters stick in my heart. I love alan wake too that's the type of game and metal gear. Where people talk about philosophy and giving me knowledge about war and history. Maybe this isn't the review you won't expect from a game review. I didn't rush a thing, never did. Thought this was about he and his wife story.
