Beginning of Firewatch Liveblog

The intro to Firewatch was much longer than that of Gone Home or Dear Esther, but it was much more interesting. I was engaged in Henry and Julia’s lives and how quickly they went. Because the game condensed almost 20 years into 20 minutes, it seemed that everything was happening so fast. One minute, Henry is approaching Julia at the bar, the next they’re moving in together and the next they’re getting married and having kids. I also felt bad for Julia. She couldn’t take a great job at Yale because it was too far of a move. She also seemed to get sick very quickly and Henry could no longer take care of her. I am curious to see what Henry’s new job entails.
