Days 1 and 2 of Firewatch

Firewatch is much more interesting than the Gone Home and Dear Ester. The storyline and interactions that occur are a lot more interactive. The player continues to learn about the characters’ lives, but also at the same time feel like they really are playing a game unlike in Gone Home and Dear Ester, where the player only learns about the characters’ lives. There seems to be a clearer objective in Firewatch, which is to find the lost girls and stop the fires.

I liked how the only form of communication with another person was through a handheld radio. Listening to the conversations between Henry and Delilah was different. It gave better insight to the characters than just listening to the background story in the introduction.
