Firewatch will launch for PlayStation 4, PC, Mac, and Linux on February 9, developer Campo Santo annnounced.
“Right now we’re still polishing, optimizing, writing, and developing the last bits of the game, but we can’t wait to put it out there for you to play,” Campo Santo co-founder Sean Vanaman said in a blog post. “We’ll have much more to say in the lead-up to February 9, as well as some opportunities for some of you to get an early hands-on.”
Here’s a rundown of Firewatch, via its official website:
Firewatch is a mystery set in the Wyoming wilderness, where your only emotional lifeline is the person on the other end of a handheld radio.
In Firewatch you play as a man named Henry who has retreated from his messy life to work as a fire lookout in the Wyoming wilderness. Perched high atop a mountain, it’s your job to look for smoke and keep the wilderness safe. An especially hot, dry summer has everyone on edge. Your supervisor, a 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, 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.
