Firewatch opening sequence

I have started playing “Firewatch” and I am very interested in what will unfold. The opening sequence sets up a dramatic, if not unexpectedly tragic turn of events. After a picture perfect start to their relationship, the onset of Julia’s dementia immediately takes a turn for the worst. The fact that the game provides life-changing options for the player to choose from really sets this game apart from “Dear Esther” or “Gone Home.” I like how the opening sequence fades in and out of Henry (presumably) walking through trails in the woods and the narrative explaining his past. I am pumped for how this game will develop and progress. It also helps that this game has unbelievable graphics but it makes my puny Mac Book Air lag uncontrollably.
