       A friend told me about Firewatch [1], a computer game where the
       protagonist is a fire spotter.  Fitting to turn this fantasy into a
       sedentary computer game, because in truth modern fire spotters do w
       in a windowless, cubicle environment [2].

       Firewatch is a mystery set in the Wyoming wilderness, where your on
       emotional lifeline is the person on the other end of a handheld rad
       
       The year is 1989.
       
       You are a man named Henry who has retreated from your messy life to
       work as a fire lookout in the Wyoming wilderness. Perched atop a
       mountain, it's your job to find smoke and keep the wilderness safe.
       
       An especially hot, dry summer has everyone on edge. Your supervisor
       woman named Delilah, is available to you at all times over a small,
       handheld radio--and is your only contact with the world you've left
       behind.
       
       But when something strange draws you out of your lookout tower and
       into the world below, you'll explore a wild and unknown environment
       facing questions and making interpersonal choices that can build or
       destroy the only meaningful relationship you have.
