Firewatch Liveblog – Day 1

On my “first day” in “Firewatch,” I experienced frightfulness, engagement, and annoyance. At the beginning, I was excited to go over to where the fireworks were and scream at the people who had lit them up. As I found the rope and got closer, I encountered the hill. As I was repelling from it, the rope broke and for I second I thought I was going to die. When I got up, I kept walking and finally encountered the teenagers in the lake. I attempted to swim toward them, but sadly that was not an option. I then was told go back to Two Forks Lookout. I actually enjoyed having these commands pop up; something that didn’t come up neither in “Gone Home” nor “Dear Esther.” However, it took me a long time to get back because rocks were surrounding me and it was challenging for me to find my way back. When I did, I realized they had vandalized the place and got a little frightened. All in all, however, I am enjoying the game and am excited for the “days” to come.
