Firewatch Liveblog

“Firewatch” begins in a very unique way. It takes you through a series of branching scenarios in which you must decide which branch to take. This kind of introduction to the game really makes it feel like you, the player, are in control of the backstory of the game. I assume that everyone that plays this game creates their own unique backstory because of the length and complexity of the intro. The result of my choices during the intro ended up with my wife developing dementia and being taken away from me by her parents. I am very curious to see what other backstories are possible to achieve.
